FRAGMENT FROM NATURE for this and next weekend focuses on an article entitled Symmetry Principles in Physics, the Brookhaven Lectures of 1965, by Frank Yang. Symmetry has been an obsession in art, physics, chemistry and mathematics for a long time. It turns out at a subatomic level it is hugely important. It is one of the great stories in science. https://lnkd.in/dqXS2nnQ View in LinkedIn

PLATO’S CAVE. “Amazingly, the best understood fundamental theories in physics that correctly describe nature as we know it today in 3+1 dimensions, namely the standard model of particles and forces and general relativity, have been shown to be “shadows” of more symmetric field theories in 4+2 dimensions.” https://lnkd.in/dTA-PHpP View in LinkedIn

THE BIG PICTURE. “It is important to note that the clusters and groups of galaxies of Laniakea move gravitationally around the centre at the ‘Great Attractor’ showing the supercluster to be matter in composition, cognisant with the metagalaxy.” https://lnkd.in/dhrW--56 View in LinkedIn

METAGALAXY. “Alfven proposed that a metagalaxy could consist of 10 billion galaxies and span billions of light years. In 2014, evidence has been provided for a metagalaxy in the ‘Laniakea’ supercluster of galaxies that encompasses the Milky Way galaxy.” https://lnkd.in/dhrW--56 View in LinkedIn

CONGLOMERATES. “The Klein/Alfvén cosmology posited that regions of the same matter content would attract each other but repel those of opposite content, and therefore larger and larger regions of matter and antimatter would coalesce.” https://lnkd.in/dhrW--56 View in LinkedIn

ISLANDS OF ANTIMATTER. “According to Alfven, a Nobel prize winning plasma physicist, matter and antimatter will separate into different regions of the Cosmos due to electromagnetic and gravitational forces and the different matter regions were termed ‘metagalaxies’.” https://lnkd.in/dhrW--56 View in LinkedIn

REACTOR POTENCY. “Hence for the same beam volumes (equal length and radius), the ratio of the densities of the antiproton beam to the electron beam would be 5.45 × 10(-4) thereby reducing the necessity of producing intense antiproton beams.” https://lnkd.in/gPGmqA_x View in LinkedIn

“A REACTOR in which antiproton beams are made to collide with electron beams of the same velocity should be an advantageous scenario to consider since the antiproton is 1836 times heavier than the electron.” https://lnkd.in/gPGmqA_x View in LinkedIn
