This is my very first animation, created during my internship at the San Diego Supercomputer Center.

This animation was created for the public lectures at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC)

to explain the concept of supersymmetry.

Physicists predict the superpartners’ existence to every standard model particle that are yet to be observed.

“Imagine building a Real Clock and placing it next to a mirror, so that you can view its mirror image.

Then imagine building the real version of the mirror image,

including left-handed screw and gear threads instead of right-handed ones.

If there were a small asymmetry in the mechanical workings of the “Real” and “Real Mirror” Clocks,

then one would observe them to keep different time.

The size of the parity-violating mirror asymmetry in E-158 is 130 parts-per-billion (ppb).

If the “Real” and “Real Mirror” Clocks had this size asymmetry in their mechanical workings,

they would exhibit a time difference of 1 hour after about 1000 years!   (text by Heather Rock Woods)

Crystallography enables us to visualize molecular structures from diffraction patterns.

This animation was created for public lectures, to explain the process to the general public.
