· My Asymmetrical world – Each semester I have a new class and
clinic schedule. Each day of the week, I depart for my scheduled day at a
different time of day, and arrive home at a different time of day. Some weeks,
I attend classes at 3 different locations. My mode of transportation varies
from commuting with fellow classmate, to driving my own car, to taking Golden
Gate Transit, to riding BART.
· Just what does this "CP violation" really mean?
· When
we look around ourselves, everything is made up of matter – protons, neutrons
and electrons. Even looking out into space, all the planets, stars and gas that
we can observe is made up of these particles. There is a cosmological excess of
matter over antimatter which is at odds with the theoretical symmetry between
them.
· The theoretical symmetry between matter
and antimatter is more commonly known to particle physicists as CP. If nature
treated matter and antimatter alike, then nature would be CP-symmetric. If not,
CP is violated.
