Fearful Symmetry

Fearful Symmetry by Ian Stewart

Many philosophers have been impressed by the patterns in the physical world and have seen God as a mathematician. However, it is the breaking of symmetry that is responsible for nature's patterns. This work examines an array of natural phenomena to show the importance of broken symmetries. In doing so, it addresses some of the deepest concepts of modern physics - the arrow of time, the handedness of life, and the origins of biological form.
