Description
The discovery of parity violation introduced asymmetry directly into our most fundamental laws. I will discuss how the conflict between symmetry and asymmetry has shaped where we are in fundamental physics and where we are going. Along the way we will check in on the discrete symmetries, the arrow of time and causality, work by T. D. Lee and G.C. Wick, Starobinsky inflation, etc..
