Week 5: Sacred Geometry

My Asymmetrical world

I feel like symmetry is very subjective and depends a lot on your perspective. Like a person that seems very symmetrical on one level (far away on the exterior) is Asymmetrical if you look closer to details or the interior. Yet on a cellular level, a lot of times their cells are roughly symmetrical. Or their molecules. Perhaps a flower looks very symmetrical to us, and yet if flowers could see each other they would recognize each individual flower because of their asymmetry. Also, symmetry could be thought of as balance, so maybe the two side of our internal organs are not visually symmetrical but they balance each other as a whole so that we can function as a human body and maybe that makes them symmetrical.

Over all, in my perspective, the world is asymmetrical because rough symmetry is still asymmetry to me. But that's just me.

"CP violation"

I think CP violation just reminds us that things outside of our general understanding of the universe and physics are possible. Larry used an example of if one in a billion times when you moved in a mirror, the reflection did not follow. That would freak me out and definitely make me wonder what else is possible. I think it is the possibility that we have everything wrong that freaks people out because if we have one thing behaving abnormally, whats to stop anything else from doing the same.

Sacred Geometry and Physics

I think the two are definitely connected somehow. When the smallest things on earth (the spiral of a snails shell) and a giant thing in the universe (the spiral of a galaxy) seem to follow the same pattern found in sacred geometry, it seems unlikely, even to a rigid left brained perspective, that these things are not somehow connected. How they are connected? That I don't know...
