Summary[edit]

Description
English: Explanatory diagram showing how symmetry breaking works. At a high enough energy level, a ball settled in the center (lowest point), and the result has symmetry. At lower energy levels, the center becomes unstable, the ball rolls to a lower point - but in doing so, it settles on an (arbitrary) position and the result is that symmetry is broken - the resulting position is not symmetrical.

This diagram image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Spontaneous symmetry breaking (explanatory diagram).svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
