Einstein’s theory of general relativity is often regarded as the best theory of gravity that we know. Yet, this theory often manifests itself under conditions where no symmetry is present and nonlinear dynamics dominates. I will discuss how these conditions are systematically accompanied by the restoration of some degree of symmetry. Hence, despite gravity appearing often under conditions devoid of symmetry, asymptotic solutions tend to restore symmetry.
