+Acting with a parity transformation on a system simply means that we create a mirrored copy of it. Another name for a parity transformation is spatial inversions.
-Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.

+So parity symmetry means mirror symmetry.
