My Asymmetrical World
Yes my world certainly is asymmetrical! Certainly my body is not perfectly symmetrical, my right arm is stronger than my left, one of my eyes in a different shape than the other, I could go on and on :) I live in an asymmetrical apartment. I ride my bike with a bag full of books over one shoulder. I cross my leg over the other. etc.
In some ways it does matter, I try to maintain balance within my body and within my life. But ultimately it is just an ideal I reach for, it is pretty unattainable. As long as I am healthy and capable of moving through the world I will not be too concerned with symmetry.
CP violation
Well, an experiment was done which reversed the charge and parity of an electron, and it decayed very differently than the original electron. But the CPT theorem includes Time, not just Charge and Parity, like the experiment worked with. Since we cannot run time backwards for an experiment, it is a good question, what does this CP violation really mean? "either the CPT theorem is incorrect, or the kaon decays in a different way in a universe where time runs backward" I don't know what it means. i don't think I ever will.
Sacred Geometry and Physics
Yes there are connections between sacred geometry and physics. Sacred geometrical images were made in exploration of abstract concepts that physics also works to explain, like time and other dimensions and consciousness. Also it turns out that these images reflect higher dimensional math. The Golden Mean or Ratio is also a great example of sacred geometry and physics/mathematics coming together. The spirals that we find throughout nature and human history relate to the Fibonacci sequence, and we have discovered that this sequence also applies to the structure of galaxies, event horizons of black wholes and molecular components :)
I liked your example of crossing your legs as asymmetrical, sometimes we forget that when we cross our arms or our legs, which seems quite natural, that it is completely different from left to right. I also am a little lost when it comes to CP violation, in my mind if time really runs backwards, everything should in theory retrace the steps that they took, I can't seem to get through my head how they figured out the kaon was not doing this without actually running time backwards. It is interesting that you relate sacred geometry with other dimensions, seeing the connection between this and physics, I thought that there may be a connective dimension between all things, thus creating something universally pleasing and relevant.
