symmetry in physics
Symmetry in physics refers to a property or condition in a physical system that remains unchanged under certain transformations, such as rotations, translations, or reflections. It implies that the system possesses a particular structure or pattern that does not change despite these transformations, allowing physicists to simplify their understanding and analysis of complex phenomena.
