Week 10 Physics - Symmetry/Super Symmetry and Sacred Geometry

Symmetry concepts allow physicists to provide explanations for how particles behave and the math demonstrates conservations of 1) energy being the same before and after an interaction, 2) conservation of spin regardless of location in space, after a collision of particles, and 3) the total charge of the particles remains constant in an interaction.  This type of symmetry and laws of conservation apply to the invisible micro world but there are examples of symmetry all around us;  in the leaves on trees, pinecones, the intricacy of the passion flower, and so much more.  I also see symmetry in the asymmetrical when I look at my children.  Although both eyes are not exactly the same, they create a beautiful symmetry for the entire face.

Super symmetry has physicists looking at even smaller aspects of particles by predicting that there is a partner particle for each particle in the Standard Model to help explain why particles have mass.  It hope to relate matter and force in the Standard Model.

The original theory for particle was that all particles would decay at the same rate regardless of time.  As technology advanced and scientists could see more of the micro world, they found that particle decay is more often in charge-parity violation and that all particles do not decay at the same rate or in the same way.  Through these findings and future experiments, scientists hope the mystery of dark matter and dark energy will be unravelled.

Are there connections between Sacred Geometry and Physics?  Of course, Physics is connected to everything in the universe!  I find it interesting that thousands of years ago, religious scientists found geometric methods to try and understand the questions we still ask today; Why are we here? How did we get here?  And physicists still try to understand and prove The Big Bang theory.  Maybe the answers to dark matter and dark energy could be revealed through study of Sacred Geometry from a different perspective.
