What did the Lee–Yang theorem help understand better?

  • Ecosystems

  • Particle physics

  • Human Genome

  • Tectonic movements

Answer

Particle physics is better understood thanks to the Lee–Yang theorem. Developed by physicists Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang, this theorem proved crucial in demonstrating that parity, the concept that physical laws would remain the same if all spatial coordinates were reversed, is not conserved in weak interactions.
