Graphic design, which evokes the symmetria of Vituvius, the dynamic symmetry of Hambidge, the asymmetry of Mondrian; which is a good gestalt, generated by intuition or by computer, by invention or by a system of coordinates, is not good design if it does not communicate.

Most of what we know about sales comes from a world of information asymmetry, where for a very long time sellers had more information than buyers. That meant sellers could hoodwink buyers, especially if buyers did not have a lot of choices or a way to talk back.

Louis Pasteur

The universe is asymmetric and I am persuaded that life, as it is known to us, is a direct result of the asymmetry of the universe or of its indirect consequences. The universe is asymmetric.

Daniel Kahneman

People who know math understand what other mortals understand, but other mortals do not understand them. This asymmetry gives them a presumption of superior ability.

If you look at music, you see theme, variation, you see symmetry, asymmetry, you see structure, and these are related to skills in the real world.

That's what's good about the digital revolution is it makes information asymmetry much harder to maintain.

American Journalist

Asymmetry applies to more than just faces; it's about any uneven design or pattern.

Beyond Faces

Asymmetry is not necessarily a negative trait; it can add interest and appeal.

Not Always Negative

In art and design, asymmetry is often intentional to create a focal point or dynamic visual interest.

Aesthetic Quality

In mathematics, asymmetry is precise and can indicate a specific relationship or property of figures.

Mathematic Precision

Asymmetry in math can affect predictability, making patterns harder to anticipate.

Predictability in Patterns

Physics recognizes asymmetry in natural phenomena, which may impact scientific laws or principles.

Asymmetry in Nature

Asymmetry in physics often describes imbalance, such as particles behaving differently than antiparticles.

Imbalance of Particles

 so there's no net separation of charge in the unit cell. But if a quartz crystal is squeezed along a certain direction, the atoms shift. Because of the resulting asymmetry in charge distribution, the dipoles no longer cancel each other out. The stretched cell ends up with a net negative charge on one side

How to squeeze...

 But there is a curious asymmetry here. The media that is good at creating conversations is no good at creating groups. And the media that's good at creating groups is no good at creating conversations. If you want to have a conversation in this world, you have it with one other person.

 Twenty-first-century, transnational world of problems and challenges, 17th-century world of political institutions. In that dilemma lies the central problem of democracy. And like many others, I've been thinking about what can one do about this, this asymmetry

Benjamin Barber: Why...

 This asymmetry accounts for why the paradox isn’t really a paradox. Although each twin witnesses time both speeding up and slowing down for the other, Stella sees an even split, while Terra sees Stella aging slowly for most of the time they’re apart.

Einstein's twin paradox...

 Symmetry is everywhere in nature, and we usually associate it with a perfectly shaped leaf, or a butterfly with intricate patterns mirrored on each wing. But it turns out that asymmetry is pretty important, too, and more common than you might think,

Why are human bodies...

 And in hiring or promotion or annual raise discussions, an employer can use that secrecy to save a lot of money. Imagine how much better you could negotiate for a raise if you knew everybody's salary. Economists warn that information asymmetry

Why you should know how...

 It seems that we were somehow lucky that a tiny asymmetry exists between matter and antimatter. Otherwise, there would be no particles at all anywhere in the universe and also no human beings. But what causes this asymmetry?

What happened to...

 on political motive asymmetry. What's that? That's what psychologists call the phenomenon of assuming that your ideology is based in love but your opponents' ideology is based in hate. It's common in world conflict.

A conservative's plea:...

 Why were we not given the chance to solve that problem psychologically? I think it's because there's an imbalance, an asymmetry in the way we treat creative, emotionally driven psychological ideas
