Explore the fundamental role of symmetry in defining macroscopic phases of matter and governing phase transitions in this conference talk from the XXVIII Science Festival at the Center for Theoretical Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Discover how symmetry rules the transformations between different phases of matter through the intricate competition between symmetry and ordering, as well as energy and entropy. Learn about the profound influence of symmetry principles on the physical world and understand how these concepts shape our understanding of matter's behavior across different states and conditions.
