Peilisymmetria

Peilisymmetria, also known as mirror symmetry, is a fundamental concept in geometry and mathematics. It describes a relationship between two objects where one object can be transformed into the other by a reflection across a line or a plane. In two dimensions, this reflection occurs across a line, often called the axis of symmetry. If a shape is peilisymmetria, it means that if you fold it along its axis of symmetry, the two halves will perfectly match. This implies that for every point on one side of the axis, there is a corresponding point on the other side at an equal distance from the axis, directly opposite.

In three dimensions, peilisymmetria is defined by a plane of symmetry. An object possesses a plane of symmetry if it can be divided into two mirror-image halves by that plane. Similar to the two-dimensional case, for every point on one side of the plane, there exists a corresponding point on the other side, equidistant from the plane and directly across it. Many natural objects exhibit peilisymmetria, such as human faces, butterflies, and certain crystals. In art and design, peilisymmetria is frequently employed to create balanced and aesthetically pleasing compositions. The mathematical study of peilisymmetria extends to abstract spaces and various transformations beyond simple reflection, forming a core part of group theory and crystallography.
