The Universe is not symmetric
https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/...symmetric/
INTRO: During the 20th century, the recognition of certain symmetries in nature led to many theoretical and experimental breakthroughs in fundamental physics. However, the attempt to impose additional symmetries, while theoretically fascinating, led to an enormous series of predictions that weren’t borne out by experiment or observation. Today, many claim that theoretical physics has stagnated, as it’s clung to those unsupported ideas. We must face reality: the Universe is not symmetric... (MORE - details)
Biology, not physics, holds the key to reality

INTRO: Three centuries after Newton framed reality in fixed laws and deterministic equations, science has reached a radically new frontier, argue biochemist and complex systems theorist Stuart Kauffman and computer scientist Andrea Roli. The biosphere – life’s evolving web – is not a clockwork mechanism but a self-creating, unpredictable system. Organisms constantly repurpose their worlds in ways that cannot, even in principle, be foreseen or captured in a mathematical framework. Science must now confront a bold idea: reality is not fully governed by any law – and biology, not physics, holds the key to its deeper mysteries... (MORE - details)
