How Symmetry Shapes the Patterns in Nature and Art
1. Introduction: Extending the Concept of Symmetry from Physics to Nature and Art In our previous exploration, Understanding Symmetry in Physics Through Modern Examples like Starburst, we examined how symmetry governs fundamental physical phenomena, from subatomic particles to cosmic structures. The starburst phenomenon, with its radiant, balanced pattern, exemplifies the importance of symmetry in understanding the universe's fabric. Yet, symmetry's influence extends far beyond physics, permeating natural forms and human […]
