week five symmetry and sacred geometry

My (a)symmetrical world
It turns out we as humans are pretty symmetrical in some areas: ear size, digit length and for women breast size. Digging around I found studies that if the breast sizes were asymmetrical it often indicated an increase rate of breast cancer. It seems symmetry is all around us. Looking at an orchid I was watering - not problem - you could cut the flower in half and it was the exact mirror of each side. Many living organisms display this pattern. However there are also examples that display asymmetry like the crabs that have one huge claw and another that is much smaller. These are atypical of the natural world, but have evolved like that for some reason. From ancient times symbols that show symmetry like the yin yang diagram and the ones used in Buddhist symbolism were valued for what they taught people about life. All around us in space and time, particle interactions mimic these symmetrical patterns.

CP violation
CP violation has to do with the difference in decay time between various particles. The universe was born with equal amounts of matter and antimatter. It stands to reason that when you destroy matter you also destroy antimatter. However, in the universe some particles must exhibit a decay differential because there is always expansion in the universe. In other words the left over particles exhibit a property that is known as cp violation - it explains that matter and antimatter do not behave in identical ways.

Connections between Sacred Geometry and Physics
Dating back to the time mandalas first appeared in the first millennium, people understood the connections that were inherent in these forms that connected so much of life. Much later when Einstein "discovered " higher math concepts, it turns out these were the concepts being used to structure the mandalas. Rather mind blowing. There is also this practice that the Chinese devised thousands of years ago called the I Ching. In it there are 64 combinations of patterns that are used to help those seeking universal insights called hexagrams. Is it by chance that the human DNA has also 64 as a structure number? Patterns that are generated by planets revolving around the sun are similar patterns found in nature. For example, venus's path around the sun generates a pattern of a flower called the camelia that is in the rose family, We see evidence in the kabala tree of life drawing that corresponds very closely to the theory of relativity. The numeric structure of it corresponds to the Hebrew alphabet. It is through the use of our present day technology that we are able to just how insightful and scientific our ancestors were thousands of years ago.
