What is the inverse triangle symbol represent?

In summary, the inverse triangle symbol is a geometric shape that resembles an upside-down equilateral triangle and is used in various fields such as mathematics, science, and religion. In mathematics, it represents the logical operator "not" or "negation," in science it can represent energy flow or inverted relationships, and in religion it can symbolize the Holy Trinity or the union of spiritual and physical realms. Different cultures have also given the symbol different meanings, such as representing the union of masculine and feminine energies in Hinduism and the element of water in Alchemy.
