The difference between symmetry and asymmetry is interesting.


Information travels in asymmetric systems. When the system reaches energy symmetry information will not flow. The reason for that is simple. All systems attempt to reach a stable or symmetric energy state. The reason why no system can reach energy stability is that all systems are part of other systems. And finally, the biggest known system the universe is part of space. That causes a situation in that energy travels out from the universe. 

Researchers can store information in symmetrical systems. If systems are fully symmetrical. They can trap things like radio waves or even light inside them. Because all particles are sending energy waves at the same time. They cannot break the structure. So in symmetrical systems the information hovers between particles. Symmetrical systems can stand more energy than asymmetrical systems. 

Things like neutron poisoning where neutrons hover because of their radiation is a good examples of a symmetrical system. Neutron poisoning mean a situation where neutrons hover in a symmetric energy field. There is no problem. But if something hits that system it causes asymmetry that pushes the structure out of balance. The same way trapping light in a 3D structure base is in symmetry. 

Trapping light in 3D crystals is one of the most interesting things in history. Trapped light can use for making research on trapped waves, and the trapped light can be the key to next-generation sensor systems. Trapping light in 3D crystal bases the idea of Anderson localization.

The fullerene balls in steel can make it possible that there is space in metal where it can conduct energy that impacts the metal structure. 

The idea is that in optical systems the interference or superpositioning of the light wave is possible to trap the light inside the quantum system. When some kind of EM-stress impacts trapped light. That increases its energy. Then the trapped light can use as the sensor that tells if something stresses the system. 

The asymmetry in the system causes situations where information starts to move. Glass is one example of rigid material, that seems very hard  When something hits things those things there is no room where energy can be dumbed. So that means the energy asymmetry destroys the glass. When somebody hits glass by using a hammer that tool causes energy asymmetry in the system. And that asymmetry destroys the material. 

The reason why metals stand more impact is that in metals there is space where energy can go. That thing makes metals elastic. So when something hits the metal That impact pushes those atoms in the metal's structure inside. Things like steel are metal-carbon hybrid. The carbon forms the internal structures in steel.

 That makes space where energy can transfer in that material.  And that means the impact energy will transfer to metals like steel slower than glass. In ceramic structures, atoms cannot move at all, and impact energy transfers to the structure faster. And that is the thing that makes glass fragile. 

The reason why glass is fragile is also its homogenous silicon material. When something impacts class the energy causes resonation between those silicone atoms. And that resonation causes the standing waves that are pushing silicone atoms away. 

Steel is hybrid material where all atoms are not resonated. When iron resonates the steel can dump that energy in the carbon. And carbon pulls standing waves inside them. If there is fullerene in the steel those carbon balls make it possible to create space in the steel structure. That thing makes Damascus Steel so strong. 

Demon core means the subcritical mass of plutonium in the Los Alamos nuclear laboratory in 1945. When one participant in the nuclear program scratched that plutonium mass by using a screwdriver. That caused the situation where the radiation level in the laboratory rose and some people died. 

The demon core is one of the examples of how the asymmetry in the system causes the situation, where the system goes out of balance. And that is the thing that launches nuclear fission. Same thing: asymmetry in energy levels between the ends of the electric wires makes the electricity travel in the wire. All systems attempt to reach a stable position. And that's why energy always travels in lower energy states. 

When we think about things like demon core in nuclear physics we must realize that even small asymmetry in energy is enough that the fission reaction begins. The demon core means the situation where somebody just pushes plutonium or causes small local energy pike in plutonium that thing causes nuclear fission.

The hydrogen-burning supernovas are interesting models.

"Researchers discovered a significant magnesium anomaly in a meteorite’s dust particle, challenging current astrophysical models and suggesting new insights into hydrogen-burning supernovas. (Artist’s concept.)Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Rare Dust Particle From Ancient Extraterrestrial Meteorite Challenges Astrophysical Models) If the star is too heavy when its fusion reaction starts, it can detonate just at that moment, when its fusion starts. If the collapsing nebula is heavy enough, it can form a black hole straight from the nebula. But if the nebula's gravity is too heavy to  form  the blue giant or too  small  it can collapse  straight  into a black hole . If  the forming star is a little bit larger than the blue supergiants. It can explode immediately when the fusion starts.    The theory of hydrogen-burning supernovas consists  model  of the giant stars that explode immediately after their fusion starts. When the...

The ancient galaxy mirrors the Milky Way.

"This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L. Rowland et al./ESO/J. Dunlop et al.

And the light that comes from that galaxy named REBELS-25 comes from the Universe that is only 700 million years old. The distance to that galaxy is enormous about 236 billion light years. And that means it's a very dista...

Transcendence, or the ability to transcendent thinking may grow in teen's brains.

   "New research has discovered that transcendent thinking, which involves analyzing the broader implications of situations, can foster brain growth in adolescents. This form of thinking enhances brain network coordination, impacting developmental milestones and future life satisfaction. The study emphasizes the need for education that encourages deep, reflective thought, underscoring the critical role of adolescents in their own brain development".
