The Fall of Parity
April 3, 1982 – April 12, 1983
See the Wu-Ambler apparatus, which in 1956 enabled physicists to show that, contrary to a previously accepted assumption, mirror symmetry does not hold for all physical processes, and thus, the mirror image of our world is distinguishable from the world itself.
Related manuscripts are also on view in the exhibition that marks the 25th anniversary of the "Fall of Parity."
