Historical Roots of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking : Steps Towards an Analogy Paperback / softback
by Rocco Gaudenzi
Part of the SpringerBriefs in History of Science and Technology series
Paperback / softback
Description
What are the thinking processes and knowledge resources involved in a complex discovery?
How can the physics of solids, the physics of nuclei, and elementary particle physics cross-fertilise in spite of the widely differing domains and energy scales they deal with?
This book addresses the questions by reconstructing and examining from the historical epistemological perspective the fascinating heuristic path to the concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking.
This analysis especially brings to light the role that analogical reasoning and mathematical reformulations played in the discovery process, as well as the influence of the Japanese milieu and approach to physical problems.
