Why Symmetry Continues to Beguile Mathematicians
To begin to understand what mathematicians and physicists see in the abstract structures of symmetries, let’s start with a familiar shape. https://media.wired.com/photos/5a3180b341e00716c855cfe4/master/pass/FidgetSpinners_2880x1400_1-2880×1400.jpg Feed: All Latest
Taking quark-gluon plasma for a spin may un-break a fundamental symmetry

(credit: Brookhaven National Lab) Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s RHIC particle accelerator have determined that an exotic form of matter produced in their collisions is the most rapidly spinning material ever detected. The material is called a quark-gluon plasma, and it […]
