Is symmetry a general aspect of physical nature?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It can't be, because not all systems are symmetric.

If that's not what you mean, please take the time to write a question that clearly states what you mean.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
