In this technical sense, a symmetry is the property of an object.
Pretty much any type of object can have symmetry, 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 definition: a symmetry is a transformation that leaves that object unchanged.
In this case, the object is the triangle, and the transformation that leaves the object unchanged is rotation through 120 degrees.
In 2000, this was the largest moving object on the planet.
Earth emits infrared radiation because every object with a temperature above absolute zero will emit light.
The hotter an object gets, the higher frequency the light it emits.
Or you can have an object that's linked between two places, so as I move a ball on one side, the ball moves on the other as well.
It says that you can never simultaneously know the exact position and the exact speed of an object and shows up as a metaphor in everything from literary criticism to sports commentary.
Uncertainty is often explained as a result of measurement, that the act of measuring an object's position changes its speed, or vice versa.
In quantum mechanics, the exact position and exact speed of an object have no meaning.
We can represent this by a graph showing the probability of finding the object at a particular place, which looks like a spike, 100% at one specific position, and zero everywhere else.
Wavelength is essential for quantum physics because an object's wavelength is related to its momentum, mass times velocity.
A fast-moving object has lots of momentum, which corresponds to a very short wavelength.
A heavy object has lots of momentum even if it's not moving very fast, which again means a very short wavelength.
By combining waves with different wavelengths, which means giving our quantum object some possibility of having different momenta.
That's a quantum object with both wave and particle nature, but to accomplish this, we had to lose certainty about both position and momentum.
It's a limit on what properties an object can have, built into the fundamental structure of the universe itself.
In order for an object to have a wavelength, it must extend over some region of space, which means it occupies many positions at the same time.
The wavelength of an object limited to a small region of space can't be perfectly defined, though.
It's when an object goes supersonic, moving faster than the sound it makes, that the picture changes dramatically.
No sound is heard as it approaches an observer because the object is traveling faster than the sound it produces.
Only after the object has passed will the observer hear the sonic boom.
An object partially immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
According to Newton's first law of motion, an object will move in the same direction and velocity until a force is applied on it.
For a seemingly simple sentence like, "The children eat the muffins," the program first parses its syntax, or grammatical structure, by identifying the children as the subject, and the rest of the sentence as the predicate consisting of a verb "eat," and a direct object "the muffins."
Shrink all that down so that it fits in the palm of your hand, and you'd have something equivalent to a modern hard drive, an object that can likely hold more information than your local library.
More subtly, though, it can recover a second story behind every object, the story of how, when and by whom a text was created, and, sometimes, what the author was thinking at the time he wrote.
Like starlight, which can convey images of the way the Universe looked in the distant past, so multispectral light can take us back to the first stuttering moments of an object's creation.
