Abstract

Xiaoqian Wenzhe*

Mirror symmetry is a fascinating and profound concept that has revolutionized our understanding of the relationship between different mathematical objects and physical theories. It emerged as a surprising discovery in the field of string theory, a branch of theoretical physics that seeks to explain the fundamental structure of the universe at the smallest scales. However, mirror symmetry has far-reaching implications beyond string theory, and it has become a rich and active area of research in both mathematics and physics. In this article, we will delve into the intriguing world of mirror symmetry, exploring its origins, its key ideas, and its profound implications for our understanding of the universe.
