Abstract
The goal of this work was to convey that asymmetry, far from being a prejudicial concept, is a prerequisite for our existence, as it is found even in the form of matter–antimatter asymmetry [1, 2] and as far back as the creation of time itself [3]. Across a wide variety of levels, asymmetry emerges as an efficient solution [4] and provides the foundation upon which structures develop. Asymmetry is present in the rotation of subatomic particles [5], topological superconductors [6], and geostatistical processes [7]. Naturally, these asymmetries are necessary for proper gene expression and regulation, as well as for embryological development [8, 9]. Developmental, structural, and functional asymmetries are a feature of all vertebrates and chordates [10]. Therefore, reality fundamentally depends on asymmetry.
