Wheel of fortune
6
Concept of symmetry (The recipe:) Transform your object. See whether your object looks/behaves the same. What quantity is conserved? Self similarity under some change:

סימטריה בפיזיקה – משפט נתר הלגרנז ' יאן כקוד פיזיקלי. סימטריות של הלגרנז ' יאן. מטען נתר, זרם נתר.

Some surprising partnerships… the conjugate couples. Location Momentum (Umph) Rotation (Angle)Angular momentum Time Energy
13
Symmetries in physics: spatial symmetry
15
Symmetries in physics: temporal symmetry

So how DO choppers hover? Simple: Momentum conservation (tweaked) There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. … Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties. HHG: Life, the Universe and Everything Or in physics: “Throw enough momentum down, to postpone your demise just one more second…”

Higgs for dummies speaker included Mass as resistance to change Mexican hat potential: Allowed movement near the top. Allowed movement in the trough. Breaking ones dreams and hopes… (err… breaking of symmetry) The goldstone mechanism: eating away at degrees of freedom.
19
An immensely rich field of research Order parameters Gauge symmetry – global, local – U(1)xSU(2)xSU(3) = standard model Broken symmetries and the Higgs mechanism. And oh so much more…..
