Description
Four (known) forces are ruling our Universe; the weak interaction is the only one violating discrete symmetries. This talk presents a surprising relation between the violation of such symmetries and various foundational concepts of quantum mechanics for spin-less (mesons) and spin particles (hyperons). These systems show also an unexpected and puzzling relation to another big open question: Why is our Universe dominated by matter, why did the antimatter slip off the map?
