Week 5 - Symmetry and Sacred Geometry

My (a)symmetrical world...

Oh how I love symmetry. Or more specifically...balance. As a Libra I take great pleasure in certain aesthetics. I have lived with people who are comfortable in a more chaotic form of design and it has been an issue. I like to create a space that radiates harmony. There is a degree of symmetry, but it is never perfect. Perfect symmetry is too formal for me. I like to balance the elements in a room. Large couches across from big windows. Tall bookshelves across from doors. A splash of color here... and then again over there... I will center a painting over a piece of furniture. If I have two candlesticks that are the same I will place them equidistance from the center of a piece of furniture. I bought matching lamps that sit on either side of my bed. This, by the way is very good Feng Shui if you are wanting a balanced relationship in your life. I, more often than not, will center things on things. I don't strive for perfect symmetry, but am more comfortable with symmetry than asymmetry.

Just what does this CP Violation mean?

The CP Violation gives us an understanding for why we exist in a universe made up of matter. The thing is the theories and experiments don't give us the whole picture. A quick scan of wikipedia indicates that the amount of matter indicated in the CP violation accounts for what would be found in a small galaxy. Obviously there is a lot more researching to be done. The CP Violation gives us (or should I say physicists more grist for the mill). How wonderful that we can reflect on such lofty ideas.

Are there connections between Sacred Geometry and Physics?

Well, Sacred Geometry describes the patterns of creation and physics also describes patterns of creation, so there is one connection. If we look into the nucleus of an atom we will see the protons and nucleus arranged in the shape of the platonic solids. This is an example of sacred geometry at a quantum level. I would imagine that when the movement of quantum particles are tracked they will then to travel in patterns described by sacred geometry, specifically spirals.
