Eugene Wigner Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.

When considering the role of symmetry in physics from a historical point of view, it is worth keeping in mind two preliminary distinctions. The first is between implicit and explicit uses of the notion. Symmetry consider-ations have always been applied to the description of nature, but for a long time in an implicit way only. As we have seen, the s...
Nature offers plenty of examples of (approximate) symmetrical forms: the bilateral symmetry of human (and, in general, of animal) bodies, the pentagonal symmetry frequent in flowers, the hexagonal symmetry of honeycomb cells, the translational symmetry of plant shoots and of animals such as caterpillars, and so on. The natu-ral objects with the ric...
Consider the following cases. Buridan’s ass: situated between what are, for him, two completely equivalent bundles of hay, he has no reason to choose the one located to his left over the one located to his right, and so he is not able to choose and dies of starvation. Archimedes’s equilibrium law for the balance: if equal weights are hung at equal ...
What is the status and significance of symmetries and symmetry principles in physics? The rich variety of symmetries in modern physics means that such a gen-eral question is not easily addressed. Indeed, we might even wonder whether it is well posed, and restrict our questions instead to specific symmetries and the inter-pretational issues they rai...
Our aim in this book is to provide a structured picture of the current philosophy of physics debate on symmetry, along with a context and framework for future debate and research in this field. As such, the aim is modest: there is no intention or aspi-ration to provide a comprehensive discussion of all philosophical issues that might arise from the...
Abstract. In 1963, Eugene Paul Wigner was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to the theory of the atomic nucleus and the elementary parti-cles, particularly through the discovery and application of fundamental symmetry principles. There are no disputes about this statement.
