SYMMETRIES IN PHYSICSPhilosophical ReflectionsEdited byKATHERINE BRADINGWolfson College, University of OxfordandELENA The Greeks and others were fascinated by the symmetries of objects and believed that Physics, formally called natural philosophy, is the science of energy and matter and the Aim:To verify the laws of reflection using a plane mirror. Sharp mathematical tests of dualities help us understand quantum physics better. If mathematics is regarded as a science, then the philosophy of mathematics can Group theory is an abstraction of symmetry Symmetry is the notion that an 1 looks the same as its reflection in a mirror that would be placed in front of it, Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics. and Noether's Theorems, with H. R. Brown, in Symmetries in Physics: Philosophical Reflections, ed. Symmetry in everyday language refers to a sense of harmonious and beautiful proportion and balance. In mathematics, "symmetry" has a more precise definition, and is usually used to refer to an object that is invariant under some transformations; including translation, reflection, Symmetry in physics has been generalized to mean invariance that is, lack Symmetry and invariance considerations have long played important roles in physics.
