Symmetries and explanations
the lessons of elementary particle physics
pp. 343-355
Abstract
Symmetries play an important role in the history of science and art.3 In the development of modern physics the use of symmetry arguments changed radically in the beginning of the 20th century. To a considerable extent the new rise of symmetry in theoretical physics is due to A. Einstein, H. Weyl, and E. Wigner.4
