The most beautifully symmetric object in physics is not the intricate snowflake or something like that of Mcsher but rather once again coming back to my cow as a sphere a sphere. There's nothing more beautiful than a sphere because there's nothing more symmetric than a sphere.
The fact that symmetry restricts things in physics is central to our modern understanding of nature as we'll get to. But there's another feature of symmetry that's important that symmetry restricts how you can describe the object.
Sometimes nothing is very important. Obviously, nothing's been very important to me. I've written books about it, but in this case, nothing happening is the central feature of symmetry.
