Marcus du Sautoy: Symmetry, reality's riddle

The video explores the life of Evariste Galois, a revolutionary mathematician who developed a new language to understand symmetry. It discusses the role of symmetry in science, nature, art, and architecture, highlighting its importance in molecular structures, genetic information, and artistic expression. The video also delves into Galois' mathematical language, which helps describe and analyze symmetrical objects, and presents a challenge involving the symmetries of a Rubik's Cube.
