I don't remember where I saw it, but somewhere I remember seeing a study where they were showing headshots of women to men, asking them to rate them aesthetically. The one that scored the worst was a perfectly symmetrical face-one of a fashion model that they manipulated to make the left side precisely identical to the right. Something about asymmetry attracts, and something else about it destroys. I don't know how much astrophysics you know, but we come from an asymmetry-the only way that stars and galaxies and everything can form is from a discontinuity after the Big Bang-clumps gravitationally attracted to each other, forming bigger and bigger clumps.
