Abstract:
A hand-drawn comic exploring symmetry in nature and physics, from symmetry in our everyday lives to symmetry in the universe and in atomic particles. This comic also explains asymmetries like the asymmetry between matter and anti-matter that allow matter to exist at all. Created in collaboration between undergraduate cartoonist Page Biersdorff and UO researcher Dr. Laura Jeanty as part of the Science and Comics Initiative, read the comic online here: https://opentext.uoregon.edu/science-comics/chapter/symmetry-in-physics/
