What is another word for space-reflection symmetry?
Pronunciation: [spˈe͡ɪsɹɪflˈɛkʃən sˈɪmətɹɪ] (IPA)
Space-reflection symmetry is a fundamental concept in physics and mathematics that refers to the symmetry of a physical system or mathematical object under reflection across a plane. Synonyms for this term include mirror symmetry, parity symmetry, spatiotemporal symmetry, and evenness symmetry. Mirror symmetry is commonly used in the field of optics and describes the property of an object or image being reflected in a mirror. Parity symmetry is often used in particle physics to describe the symmetry of subatomic particles under mirror reflection. Spatiotemporal symmetry refers to the symmetry of a system under time-varying and spatially uniform transformations. Evenness symmetry, on the other hand, is a more general term that encompasses all forms of symmetry that are characterized by reflection.
