Symmetry Rules - How Science and Nature are founded on Symmetry
Joe Rosen, 2008 - The Frontiers Collection, Springer
http://www.ciberdigital.net/books/Symmet
The purpose of this book is to show that science – even in its broad conception – not o...nly makes much use of symmetry, but is essentially and fundamentally based on symmetry. Indeed, science rests firmly on the triple foundation of reproducibility, predictability, and reduction, all of which are symmetries, with additional support from analogy and objectivity, which are symmetries too. So it is not much of an exaggeration to claim that science is symmetry. Or perhaps in somewhat more detail, science is our view of nature through symmetry spectacles. [...] In addition to an exposition and justification of this central idea, that science is founded on symmetry, the author also looks into how symmetry is used in science in general and in physics in particular (Rutherford’s ‘real science’). And we find: symmetry of evolution (symmetry of the laws of nature), symmetry of states of physical systems, gauge symmetry of the fundamental interactions, and the symmetry inherent to quantum theory. So not only do we view nature through symmetry spectacles, but we understand nature in the language of symmetry. [...] All that leads to deep questions that await clarification. What is the source of all this symmetry? What is nature telling us? Is nature symmetry, at least in some sense? If not at the level that physics is presently investigating, are deeper levels of reality involved with symmetry in a very major way? Or even, will symmetry turn out to be what those fundamental levels are all about? Is symmetry the foundational principle of the Universe?Read More

Want to take a peek at what happens (almost live!) at the Atlas detector at CERN?

Roman Volkovsky How do you explain the fact that when you pour hot water it makes a different sound then when you pour cool or cold water?! Something to do with partical movement due to temperature i suppose.. but really, any ideas?
Eric Orton With the developpement of super-cavitating torpedoes capable of velocities up to 800 km/h, is it actually possible to break the sound barrier under water?
