Xfm. 7 November 2007〕 On 26 and 28 August 2011, Muse designed and performed a special set at the Reading and Leeds Festivals to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''Origin of Symmetry''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Muse to play 'Origin Of Symmetry' in full at Reading And Leeds Festivals )〕 The album was played from start to finish, marking the first time certain songs (such as "Darkshines" and "Hyper Music") had been played in several years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Muse Concert Setlist at Reading Festival 2011 on August 28, 2011 - setlist.fm )〕 ==Background== The development of the album came about during the band's extensive touring in promotion of ''Showbiz'', with some of the material written and performed whilst on the road. The name and theme of the album comes from the book ''Hyperspace'' by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. In it he discusses how a future book about the discovery of supersymmetry should be entitled "The Origin of Symmetry", due to its implications in physics, in reference to the impact Charles Darwin's ''On the Origin of Species'' had on biology. As is cited by Matt Bellamy: "The name of the album, 'Origin of Symmetry', is from a book about geometry of the universe and how it's all in beautiful balance, a perfect thing in ten dimensions. It explains all the mysterious forces we invented religions around." According to Bellamy, "everyone's been writing about the origin of life so now they'll start looking at the origin of symmetry; there's a certain amount of stability in the universe and to find out where it originates from would be to find out if God exists."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=English Articles )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Origin of Symmetry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
