The article deals with the mirror (looking glass) asymmetry of a three-dimensional Euclidean space which occurs where a real experimental situation is described by a set of real vectors and pseudovectors. The results are applied to the analysis of spatial parity non-conservation in processes of the particles.

In the article the well-known experiment of C.Wu (1957) on the detection of P-parity non-conservation in weak interaction processes is analyzed from a new point of view.

Keywords: symmetry mirror (looking glass), real vectors, pseudo-vectors, weak interaction, spatial inversion, spatial parity.
