The principle says that objects which are mirror images of each other must obey the same physical rules. As Drs. Yang and Lee dug deep into the mysteries of the matter, they felt that they could not do without parity, but they found several basic things that could not be explained if parity were observed with full reverence...
Chen Ning Yang, professor in the School of Mathematics at the Institute, and Tsung Dao Lee, a Columbia professor studying on leave of absence at the Institute, had won the highest award in Physics for their achievement in the area of elementary particles. They had shown that nature can distinguish between her right and left hand and thus had shattered one of the foundations of physical sciences...
Terrified villagers termed the Devil King's new order Dao Lui, the Religion of the Sword, because his men, whether earthbound, high-flying or invisible, are addicted to murdering their victims by plunging their pikes through the palm-leaf walls of village huts.
