Description: from tangible things like butterflies, to abstract entities like geometric shapes. So, what does it mean for an object to be symmetric? Here's the a symmetry is a transformation that leaves that object unchanged. Okay, that sounds a bit abstract, so let's unpack it. It will help to look at a particular example,

Jenny Holzer

I'd paint long strips of canvas and abandon them on the beach, or put bread out in geometric patterns for the pigeons downtown. I wanted people to find something nice and intriguing to puzzle over. Then I'd go back to see if the things were still there, or if anyone would notice.

American Artist

T. E. Hulme

Pure geometrical regularity gives a certain pleasure to men troubled by the obscurity of outside appearance. The geometrical line is something absolutely distinct from the messiness, the confusion, and the accidental details of existing things.

English Critic

Tom DeLonge

Geometric shapes hold an energy pattern, and scientists did some experiments which say certain geometric shapes can affect matter around them. It's simply because when a human looks at a shape, they instantly receive energy from their brain.

American Musician

Robert Rauschenberg

The only thing that I could get with chance, and I never was able to use it, was that I would end up with something quite geometric or the spirit that I was interested in, indulging in, was gone.

Gerhard Herzberg

For polyatomic free radicals and ions, one is dependent both for the ground states and the excited states on the study of electronic spectra to obtain the shapes and the geometrical parameters.

German Physicist

Erno Rubik

I love the simplicity of the Cube because it's a very clear geometrical shape, and I love geometry because it's the study of how the whole universe is structured.

Hungarian Inventor

Richard Lamm

I do not believe you can have infinite population or economic growth in a finite world. We are living on the shoulders of some awesome geometric curves.

American Politician

Herbert A. Simon

Viewed as a geometric figure, the ant's path is irregular, complex, and hard to describe.

American Economist

Derek Harold Richard Barton

Many transition states have a well-defined preferred geometrical requirement.

British Scientist

Bibhu Mohapatra

Indian Designer

Often used to describe visually striking or attractive patterns common in art and design.

Visual Aesthetics

Even though related to shapes, it can be applied broadly beyond strict mathematical contexts.

Not Always Mathematical

In math, 'geometric' implies precision and adherence to the rules of geometry.

Mathematical Accuracy

References complex mathematical concepts such as equations, not just basic shapes.

Beyond Simple Figures

Describes how something increases or decreases sharply, following a specific mathematical rate.

Rate of Change

The term can reflect predictability in the way certain quantities grow or shrink.

Predictable Patterns

Implies the use of geometric rules to create art, often leading to symmetrical and balanced works.

Artistic Precision

Represents a fusion of creativity with the rigidity of geometric shapes, enhancing visual appeal.

The science of symmetry...

 So, what about four dimensions? And five? And eleven? Where do we put these new perpendicular lines? This is where Flatland can help us. Let's look at our square protagonist's world. Flatland is populated by geometric shapes, ranging from isosceles trianges to equilateral triangles to squares, pentagons,

 In many instances, their images follow the contours of the cave to create depth and shade. The most common depictions are of geometric shapes, followed by large mammals, like bison, horses, mammoths, deer, and boars. Human figures appear rarely, as well as occasional hand prints.

 But the painting obscures their struggle to provide food for their household. Even the monarch's advanced age is concealed through the blurring of the mirror. What we do see in the geometric center of the canvas, brightly illuminated by the light from the window,

 tells us that the artists were making intentional choices. If we're talking about geometric shapes, with specific, culturally recognized, agreed-upon meanings, than we could very well be looking at one of the oldest systems of graphic communication in the world.

 These subjects were not studied merely for the sake of curiosity or practical utility, but because they authenticated the belief that numbers were the sacred language of the universe. In the repeated patterns of algebraic formulas and geometric shapes,

 Oliver I was afraid you would ask that. Well, yeah, a lot of them. And, actually, I'm a little visually impaired myself. I'm blind in one eye and not terribly good in the other. And I see the geometrical hallucinations. But they stop there.
