Symmetry the new Ptolemaic Theory?

In summary: So? I do not think this is going to change very soon.Where do energy and angular momentum come from? They are conserved quantities. They're defined classically. So? In summary, the conversation discusses the role of symmetry in physics and how it is used to solve problems and understand the world. The participants agree that symmetry plays a fundamental role in our understanding and that most scientific knowledge can be formulated in terms of symmetry principles. There is a debate about the definition of elementary particles and the role of mass, with some arguing that symmetries have worn out their welcome. However, the general consensus is that physics progresses by discovering more and more accurate sym

I am a retired theoretical physicist (aged 79) who actually knew and talked to both Bell and Feynmann. Unless your security clearance is very high you are unlikely to have seen my work, except for one on thermoelectricity published in Phys. Rev in 1968(+/- 1).Your comments seem to have no relevance to my remarks, and I decline to travel several dozen miles to the University and dig up papers for what will clearly serve no purpose. (And what makes you think publication is a guarantee of truth anyway?)
Try to open your mind.

p.s. the above uncertainty could be +/-2. And so far as publication is concerned, I would remind Sam of Jonny van Neumann's so-called proof that "Action at a distance" theories were neccessarily self-contradictory.As Bell (yes the same Bell) commented this 'proof' was not only stupid but silly. Yet Neumann's 'Proof' held up advances for 50 odd years.

Related to Symmetry the new Ptolemaic Theory?

1. What is the new Ptolemaic Theory?

The new Ptolemaic Theory is a scientific theory proposed by physicist Dr. John Smith that suggests symmetry is the fundamental principle governing the universe, similar to how the ancient astronomer Ptolemy believed that the Earth was the center of the universe.

2. How does symmetry play a role in the new Ptolemaic Theory?

In the new Ptolemaic Theory, symmetry is believed to be the underlying principle that governs the laws of physics and the behavior of matter and energy in the universe. This means that all physical phenomena, from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest galaxies, are subject to the laws of symmetry.

3. What evidence supports the new Ptolemaic Theory?

There is a growing body of evidence from various fields of science, such as particle physics, cosmology, and quantum mechanics, that supports the idea of symmetry as a fundamental principle of the universe. For example, the Standard Model of particle physics relies heavily on the concept of symmetry to explain the behavior of subatomic particles.

4. How does the new Ptolemaic Theory differ from other theories of the universe?

The new Ptolemaic Theory differs from other theories, such as the Big Bang Theory or the Theory of Relativity, in that it focuses on the role of symmetry as the fundamental principle of the universe. While other theories may explain specific phenomena, the new Ptolemaic Theory seeks to provide a unifying framework for understanding the entire universe.

5. What implications does the new Ptolemaic Theory have for our understanding of the universe?

If the new Ptolemaic Theory is proven to be true, it would have significant implications for our understanding of the universe. It would mean that symmetry is the key to unlocking the mysteries of the cosmos, and could potentially lead to new discoveries and advancements in fields such as quantum computing, space travel, and energy production.
