I'll review this; hope to have it finished in a week or so. It looks pretty good at first glance. Reyk YO! 15:24, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous points

  • Wu being the first Wolf Prize winner should be cited; here is a suitable source
  • It's not clear from the article what is the distinction between "a mirrored version of the world and the mirror image of the current world."

Comment

Coincidentally, I was looking at the page because I wanted to know the details of Wu's experiment, and I found this review. I think the article is good, but not great. Its major weakness is that it skips over the real principle behind the experiment very quickly: there's a lot of exposition about the setup and the decay, but then what you expect to see, and crucially why, is left to a sentence or two. The diagram in "The Experiment" section that endeavours to explain the theoretical setup could also be better, or at least far better explained. I can try to add a few sentences to effect these emendations and you can judge for yourself if that's any better. Krea (talk) 17:52, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
