SUMMARY:Symmetry and Asymmetry in Science and Art
DESCRIPTION:Symmetries and asymmetries affect wide areas of human culture a
 nd play an equally significant role in the natural sciences, in mathematics
 , in art, music, technology, architecture, and in intellectual and cultural
  history. Hence does the spectrum of the 14 specialized lectures of this ye
 ar´s Annual Assembly of the Leopoldina range from the investigation of symm
 etries in morality to the symmetries of the cosmos through to the emergence
  of cancer because of disturbances in the physiological equilibrium during 
 the wound healing process.In his keynote lecture on Friday, the philosopher
  Prof. Dieter Birnbacher (Universität Düsseldorf) will examine „Breaches of
  symmetry in morality“. One of the highlights is the Friday evening lecture
  by the astrophysicist Prof. Günther Hasinger (USA) entitled “Is the Sky Sy
 mmetrical?”, in which Hasinger probes the symmetries in the cosmos. Also am
 ong the lecturers  of this year`s Annual Assembly is physicist Prof. Daniel
  Shechtman, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2011 for the de
 velopment of quasicrystals.Leopoldina member Prof. Martin Quack (Zurich) pr
 oposed the Annual Assembly’s topic and formulated the programme jointly wit
 h a team drawn from all the Leopoldina´s specialized sections. He will spea
 k on Friday about the reflection symmetry of space and its importance for r
 esearch in physics, chemistry and molecular biology.\n\nFurther Information
  and Registration\n\nThe Opening Ceremony will be in  German. Simultaneous 
 translation into English will be provided. The scientific lectures will be 
 given in the language as announced by the title in the programme. Registrat
 ion for the Annual Assembly is closed. For information, please contact jahr
