Quantum Physics in a Mirror Universe

The video explores the concept of symmetry in physics, focusing on mirror symmetry and parity transformations. It explains how parity is a discrete symmetry and introduces the idea of handedness and chirality. The video details an experiment that demonstrated parity violation using cobalt-60, highlighting the unique behavior of weak interactions. It concludes with a discussion on quantum chirality and the potential for a deeper symmetry, known as CPT symmetry, which may underlie the universe's fundamental laws.
