The discovery of parity violation in weak interactions revolutionized our understanding of nature. In this talk, I will first discuss how parity violation serves as a powerful tool for precision tests of the standard model and searches for new physics, illustrated through low-energy Moller scattering. I will then explore how parity, along with the environmental effects, influences quantum entanglement in fermion pairs. This connection opens new avenues for probing quantum foundations and potential new paradigms beyond the quantum field theory.
