Talk:CP-symmetry

'CP-symmetry was violated and only a much stronger version of the symmetry existed, CPT-symmetry'

Is this correct terminology? I would say that if some symmetry is violated a stronger one is also violated (a strong condition or property implies a weaker one). I would say that CPT-symmetry is neither stronger nor weaker than CP-symmetry (CPT-symmetry would however be weaker than CP- and T-symmetry together). Patrick 12:11 Nov 24, 2002 (UTC)

I understand now that 'strong version' in this context means 'more universally true'. Some clarification in the articles would be useful, as what in logic would be a weak condition/property would be strong in this sense. Patrick 13:02 Nov 24, 2002 (UTC)
