The principle of symmetry and complementarity seem to play some role in the macroworld too but in the micro world, we have, in addition, the Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle, Pauli's Exclusion principle, Entanglement and some others. Before we discuss the quantum behaviour, we will briefly introduce some of these principles which have helped us in understanding the nature of the universe.
