“Symmetry” is one more fundamental scientific concept, which alongside with the “harmony” concept has a relation practically to all frames of the nature, science and art.
The outstanding mathematician Hermann Weil highly evaluated the role of symmetry in modern science:
“Symmetry, as though is wide or narrow we did not perceive this word, there is the idea, with the help of which a man attempted to explain and to create the order, beauty and perfection”.
Radiolab had an episode on Symmetry.
This striking video made by Everynone was inspired by our Desperately Seeking Symmetry episode. Filmmakers Will Hoffman, Daniel Mercadante, and Julius Metoyer III play with our yearning for balance, and reveal how beautiful imperfect matches can be.
