This course explores the core role symmetry plays in unraveling nature's deepest secrets, including the different types of symmetry, the symmetry of the laws of nature, and the evolution of the discussion on symmetry. Participants will learn about the mathematical relationship between symmetry and physical laws, the influence of symmetry on various scientific theories, and the potential experimental data expected in the future. The course is designed for individuals interested in physics, mathematics, and the fundamental principles governing the universe.
