One of the research tasks is to scientifically explain the reasons that lead to asymmetry in living matter. This asymmetry represents an approximate symmetry. I call it real symmetry. I suppose the DNA molecule is not ideally symmetrical. But why? This is the question that new research should be based on. Why is the DNA molecule not perfectly (mathematically) symmetrical?
The photo above shows us a computer model of DNA molecules. Yes, there is an ideal (perfect) symmetry.
This is a real photo of DNA molecules. Now, you see the lack of ideal (perfect) symmetry
The photo above illustrates the lack of ideal (perfect) symmetry.
Do you think the above picture has perfect symmetry?
My opinion is that it has perfect symmetry because it was made with a computer and a specialized drawing program.
Yes, there is perfect symmetry in mathematics. Yes, there is also a perfect symmetry in all the laws of physics, which are inextricably linked to mathematics and are described by mathematical formulas and equations. But no such ideal symmetry can be found when we begin to look for it in the distribution and structuring of non-living and living matter. Such ideal symmetry cannot be realized. For example, the very distribution of matter in the universe is uneven and chaotic. No ideal symmetry is observed in living matter at all. Therefore, I think that there is an ideal symmetry. Still, in practice, it is either extremely difficult to realize (and with a certain approximation and the presence of a certain error), or it cannot be realized at all. For example, let’s take crystals. They should be perfectly symmetrical. But they are not, because for them to be perfectly symmetrical, ideal conditions are needed, and such conditions can never be realized. This causes the actual crystals not to be perfectly symmetrical. Not to mention that no product is manufactured that is perfectly symmetrical. For example, your car is not perfectly symmetrical, is it? The color of your left eye is not the same as your right eye. The entire circulatory system, and absolutely all our organs, is not symmetrical. Yes, the laws of Mechanics, in which area I do my research, are perfectly symmetrical. But unfortunately, only the laws…
