Mathematics
Summary
Our brains are exceptional at constructing arbitrary and novel ideas, such as symmetries, which are fundamental in contemporary mathematics like geometrical theories of symmetry that make things the same but different. The question of recognizing symmetries and invariance in what needs to be studied is crucially essential.
