n the male-dominated world of 1950s physics, one woman's meticulous hands conducted an experiment that would shake the very foundations of scientific understanding. Chien-Shiung Wu, working alone in a frigid laboratory while her male colleagues celebrated at a party, discovered that the universe doesn't always behave symmetrically. Her groundbreaking work challenged fundamental laws of physics, yet when the Nobel Prize was awarded for this discovery, her name was nowhere to be found.
