What is Symmetry

Handbook of Research on Global Media’s Preternatural Influence on Global Technological Singularity, Culture, and Government
Symmetry is proportional or balanced harmony, the exact correspondence of form on opposite sides of a centerline or point (Bennet et al., 2020, p. 42). As Weyl (1952, p. 5) forwards, “Symmetry, as wide or as narrow as you may define its meaning, is one idea by which many through the ages have tried to comprehend and create order, beauty, and perfection.” As such, the concept of symmetry is woven into the disciplines of art, architecture, mathematics, physics and many other fields involving categorization and classification. In short, the principle of symmetry penetrates every level of life (Wade, 2006). Current cybernetic research is almost completely based in Einstein’s symmetrical mathematics that results in universal entropy, or death. This includes research on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and nearly all of the science that rules the media-field such as 5G and other electromagnetic technologies. In later research, Einstein admitted that symmetrical mathematics are wrong. However, there are scientists who understand that there are alternatives. For example, they consider that Platonic thought-forms are electromagnetically responsible for the evolution of consciousness within a living infinite fractal holographic universe. The late science advisor to the Belgrade Institute of Physics, Petar Grujic (2001), in his book The Concept of Fractal Universe Anaxagoras explains that ancient Greek science was conversant with infinite fractal mathematics. In his book Anaxagoras on Mind , the neurological medical scientist Staros Baloyannis (2018) considers Anaxagoras’ work as a significant milestone in the field Neurophilosophy. To Plato the universe was evolving the living information process from chaos under the guidance of a supreme ethical mathematical purpose. On the contrary Einstein believed that the universe was evolving all life in the universe to extinction under a supreme law governing the energies of chaos. Both philosophers of science were dealing with what scientists call a first-cause principle controlling the dynamics of reality. Einstein’s science belonged to a cruel harsh tribal realty, which nonetheless was an essential part of Plato’s mathematical map to the future (Pope, 2019). In 2013, The European Space Agency Plank Observatory mapped the first light of creation as being asymmetrical (NASA website, 2014). This means that Einstein’s symmetrical universe demanding the extinction of all life in the universe is not valid. Moreover, Robert Pope (2019) has summarized symmetry as being carcinogenic.

“Coherency” Alternative to the “Singularity”: Coherent Heart Entrainment
Donna L. Panucci (Blue Ray of Hope, USA) and Theresa Bullard-Whyke (GAIA TV, UK)
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-8884-0.ch002
Abstract
The so-called “singularity” postulates that artificial intelligence technology (AI) will soon outdistance human intelligence and commandeer (Terminator-like) planetary authority from humanity. It may be stipulated that this science fiction scenario is already becoming a science-reality. However, an alternative to the threatening brain-based technological singularity is not being considered. The potential for creating a positive non-dual reality with “coherent heart entrainment” is the desirable alternative, and this alternative “heart-based coherency” can begin with healing the media-sphere. The technological singularity—perhaps the salient issue facing “healing” of the global media-sphere—is a hypothetical point in time (very soon) at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization.

Cognitive Learning Through Knowledge Visualization, Art, and the Geometry of Nature
In mathematics, symmetry is the mapping of an object onto itself that preserves its initial structure. In physics, the concept that the properties of particles such as atoms and molecules remain unchanged when subjected to a variety of symmetry transformations. In crystallography, symmetry reflects on the fundamental property of the orderly arrangements of atoms found in crystalline solids.

Duality of Natural and Technological Explanations
The correspondence in size, form, and arrangement of parts on opposite sides of a plane, line, or point. A crystal shows symmetry when it has s a center of symmetry, rotation axes, or mirror planes (imaginary planes that divide it into halves). There are several types of symmetry: for example, line or mirror symmetry, radial, cylindrical, or spherical symmetry. A figure that has line symmetry has two identical halves when folded along its line of symmetry, and these halves are congruent, meaning they are the same size and shape. An object has a radial symmetry when it can be rotated around the rotation axis. For example, with a fourfold rotation axis the crystal repeats itself each 90°. Angles of rotational symmetry possible for crystals are: 60 degrees, 90 degrees, 120 degrees, 180 degrees, and 360 degrees. The halves of the bilaterally symmetrical animals, for example, butterflies, when seen along the axis, form each other’s mirror images. Most animals and people cannot be divided into two identical halves, even when they look symmetrical from external appearance. Two halves of the human brain display different abilities and ways of learning and thinking.
