 The Ambidextrous Universe

"The Ambidextrous Universe" is a book written by physicist Robert Gilmore, published in 1992. The book explores the concept of symmetry in physics, particularly the idea of parity—a property describing how physical phenomena behave under spatial inversion. One of the central themes of the book is the idea that the universe can be seen as having both a "left-handed" and a "right-handed" aspect, reflecting the symmetry properties of physical laws.
