====== CPT Symmetry======




<tabbox Intuitive> 

CPT symmetry means that a mirror-image of our universe where we reverse all momenta (corresponding to the reversal of time) and with all matter replaced by anti-matter would evolve under exactly the same physical laws.

<tabbox Abstract> 
  * The standard reference is "PCT, spin and statistics, and all that" by R. F. Streater and A. S. Wightman.
<tabbox Why is it interesting?> 
According to the famous [[theorems:cpt|CPT theorem]] the symmetry CPT holds for //all// physical phenomena under quite reasonable assumptions.

This makes CPT symmetry one of the most important symmetries of modern especially and especially of the [[models:standard_model|standard model of particle physics]].
