Showcasing some of the most interesting areas of science and mathematics.
One of the most important is Lorentz symmetry, the symmetry of special relativity.

Lorentz symmetry is represented in the real world by the change from one frame of reference to another.

For example changing from someone on Earth, to someone on a distant spaceship travelling near lightspeed.

Mathematical Physics | Lie Groups 🌀

The universe contains many symmetries; some simple, like reflection and rotation, other more complicated.

Symmetries like these are hidden everywhere in physics.

What are some common symmetries in theoretical physics?

Anti-Aging Research | Telomeres 🧬

Telomeres are the protective caps at the end of our DNA that act as a buffer. Each time a cell divides, we lose a tiny fragment of our telomeres.

This is thought to play a role in aging. As our telomeres shorten, the cells can enter a state of senescence.
