Val Fitch's work contributed to understanding the asymmetry of what?
Dark Matter
Time
Quantum States
Space Expansion
Answer
The asymmetry of time refers to the distinction between the past and the future, and the fact that the laws of physics do not treat them symmetrically. Val Fitch's work, along with James Cronin's, provided experimental evidence for this asymmetry by observing the decay of neutral kaons. Their findings challenged the prevailing notion of symmetry and played a crucial role in the development of the Standard Model of particle physics.
