Why does nature favor symmetry?

Above this text, you can see the starfish and the tree leaf. You can see one very interesting thing. Both of those creatures are symmetric. Most of the living species are symmetric without depending on are they vegetables or animals. That thing shows that symmetry is somehow important things. But why does nature favors symmetry? The tree leaves, flowers, and almost all animals are symmetric.

And the reason for that can be that symmetric shape requires a minimum genetic material. If the genetic material like base pairs of the DNA can use in many points that make it possible to reuse the same DNA sequences at least in two points of the DNA of the species.

If all parts of starfish would be different, every single projection requires its unique bite of the DNA. Because all of the projections are similar. That organism can recycle the DNA sequences. In that model, the DNA alternates the form of the center and projections. That thing makes it possible to create an organism by using the minimum mass of DNA.

DNA is like a computer program that involves the instructions on how to make that creature. If every single finger in human hands would be unique. That requires much more DNA than symmetric fingers. The human hands are similar. But the order of the fingers is the opposite. Each finger is similar to its mirror finger.

This means that nature is following the golden rule of engineering. That rule is the KISSAP (Keep It So Simple As Possible). This principle means that the genomes of the organisms are an involving minimum number of base pairs. This is the reason why all organisms are symmetric. The symmetric structure requires fewer base pairs than asymmetric structures.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments. Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape. We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures. The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time? Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger. The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers. "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions. And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object. Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
