Her affirmation of nonparity in susceptible forces - that's, that correct and left symmetry don't exist whilst atoms are in a weakened, much less solid country - rocked the physics global. till that time, physicists had assumed that parity - equality among the left and correct aspects of an atom - existed in all states.
