    This sequel to the bestselling *Does God Play Dice?* will open your eyes to the broken symmetries that lie all around you, from the shapes of clouds to the drops of dew on a spider's web, from centipedes to corn circles. It will take you to the farthest reaches of the universe and bring you face-to-face with some of the deepest questions of modern physics.


What's interesting about physics is almost everything us symmetrical at the most fundamental levels. An interesting violation here is the charge parity symmetry, which may explain why matter exists in large quantities and anti matter does not. Symmetry violations like this may also explain why we have an arrow of time that runs in one direction.
