space-reflection symmetry

Found in Anh - Anh (Wordnet)

Definition Noun : - (Physics) : A fundamental symmetry principle stating that the laws of physics are invariant under a parity transformation, which inverts the spatial coordinates (x, y, z) → (-x, -y, -z). This means a physical process and its mirror image (where left and right are swapped) should occur with identical probability, assuming this symmetry holds. It is also known as parity symmet...
