Parity Violation Was a Projection, Not a Discovery

This article argues that the common interpretation of parity violation in beta decay relies on an untested assumption: that mirror-reflected versions of physical processes are real, constructible, and measurable. Using the example of a spinning gyroscope, the article challenges the belief that visual inversion equates to empirical symmetry. The mirrored beta decay has never been constructed or measured, yet is used as a benchmark for violation. The essay concludes that parity was not discovered to be broken—it was never tested, and never real. What we observed was asymmetry. What we projected was a rule nature never promised to obey.
