EXPANDED 3rd EDITION: Largely unnoticed by the general public, four intellectual giants of the 20th century, Kabbalist Rav Yehuda Ashlag, mathematical physicist Albert Einstein, mathematician Emmy Noether and the pioneering value investor Benjamin Graham, revealed the central role of symmetry in what we call reality.The most symmetric form is the Circle. Nature largely builds its diversity and abundance on circular motions and cycles. Yet, our linear economic model does not respect the central role of symmetry (balance, harmony, unity), and consequently disregards the holistic benefits of Nature's positive circular motions.The book details how Nature, the cosmos, universally communicates in the super simple language of symmetry. It examines how Rav Ashlag, Einstein, Noether and Graham along with other scholars from around the globe, unveiled that symmetry is the creative principle which can build a prosperous future for Man, Artificial Intelligence and Nature together, via a symmetric, positive, eco-intelligent and climate-smart Circular Economy.

SYMMETRY: THE SIMPLE MATHEMATICAL GUIDE OF PHYSICS TO NATURE’S UNITY LANGUAGE

THE AMAZING SIMPLICITY OF SYMMETRY

Symmetry is so simple (elegant) that we constantly overlook it. Someone who did not overlook it, but loved the beauty and simplicity of symmetry, was Albert Einstein. His revolutionary theories of relativity, as indicated, mean just one thing: SYMMETRY

“… it is the inherent symmetry of the fourdimensional continuum of space and time that relativity deals with.”

Hermann Weyl

(Symmetry, 1980, p.132)

It is difficult:

• for our senses to recognize simplicity (symmetry) as it is so abstract, hence general (transcendent) and in an immaterial (mathematical) way omnipresent,
• for our senses not to be overwhelmed by symmetry’s creativity (abundance, local presence in infinite scenarios) which to our senses can be displayed in seemingly countless (infinite) different manifestations (diversity).

“Einstein (…) he is a key figure in the history of symmetry: it was Einstein, above all others, who set in motion the web of events that turned the mathematics of symmetry into fundamental physics.”

Ian Stewart

(Why Beauty is Truth, 2007, p.173)

“Despite what you’ve been told, beauty is not really in the eye of the beholder (…) One of the primary determinants of attractiveness is a signal that has proven useful over millennia for finding healthy and fit partners to have babies with (…): bilateral symmetry (…) It doesn’t get much conscious attention because your brain is so good at assessing symmetry that it constructs your feeling of attraction almost instantaneously.”

Nicholas Epley

(Mindwise, 2014, p.25)

“…The Language of the Kabbalists is the Language of Branches (…) This means that the branches are determined by the roots which are their stamp that must exist in the Upper World (…) they understand one another completely through precise definitions that cannot be misunderstood since every single Branch has its own specific natural definition…”

Rav Yehuda Ashlag

(The Wisdom of Truth, 2008, p.107-109)

Let us acquaint ourselves with this language by doing a super simple exercise using the fundamental, symmetric language of Nature

All the bold words and words in (brackets) are synonyms, i.e., words with the same meaning for symmetry.

Put differently, these words essentially have the same root as they are offspring (branches) of symmetry.

Keep looking for these bold words as well as the words in (brackets), as they highlight all words denoting symmetry. Yes, symmetry is about sameness (being identical, being one), and the fun is to learn to see that in the infinite abundance (creativity) of Nature, we can constantly rediscover symmetry. This infinite abundance of Nature, which we will see is part of symmetry, already tells us that all words are branches (units) stemming from symmetry. That is why symmetry is the language of UNITY (that encompasses all).

“We must stop somewhere, and for science to be possible we must stop where we have found simplicity. That is the only ground on which we can erect the edifice of our generalizations.”

Henri Poincaré

(Science and Hypothesis, 1952, pp.148-149)

“In the general order of things, physical action is used to reveal the consciousness or the abstract idea so that the action can bring cleaving to the idea in a complete way.”

Rav Yehuda Ashlag

(The Wisdom of Truth, 2008, p.289)

THE SIMPLE CODE OF NATURE’S SYMMETRY PRINCIPLE

Let’s take a look at just how simple (universal) the configuration (structure, code, system, rule, law) of symmetry is.

How did Albert Einstein recognize this amazing simplicity (symmetry) of Nature?

Einstein, based on the work of great scientists before him, such as Galileo Galilei or Isaac Newton, knew that each massive object in the universe (cosmos) actually has two, identical (same, equivalent, symmetric) masses.

Such objects are, e.g.: stars, planets, stones, trees, humans, flowers, bees, electrons, and so on.

As you can see, there are basically infinitely many such objects in our universe.

Each massive object that we perceive as one UNIT (wholeness, oneness) actually consists of TWO identical (symmetric, equivalent) masses. So, if one mass (#1) grows, the other mass (#2) grows along in total harmony by the same amount.

For a moment let us leave aside what these two masses do. Let’s just make ourselves aware of the simplest, purely mathematical wholeness (unity, unit, system, oneness) that Nature presents to us. This is the idea Albert Einstein took seriously, and which his unrivalled genius is all about: BEING SIMPLE AND LOVING SIMPLICITY (Elegance, Harmony, Beauty).

“Einstein (…) was driven by a passionate belief that the deepest understanding of the universe would reveal its truest wonder: the simplicity (…) on which it was based (…) allowing us all to stand in awe of its sheer beauty and elegance.”

Brian Greene

(The Elegant Universe, Preface 2003, p. xiii)

There are TWO SYMMETRIC (IDENTICAL, EQUAL) MASSES IN ONE MASSIVE OBJECT, DENOTING A UNIT (UNITY, ONENESS).

What mathematical sign can we use to express this equality?! Yes, it is, indeed, the simple EQUAL SIGN:

“… order means to recognize what is equal …”

Werner Heisenberg

(Physics and Philosophy, 2007, pp.36-37)

“Mathematics is the articulation of pattern. Using a handful of symbols we can encapsulate pattern with economy and precision.”

Brian Greene

(Until the End of Time, 2021, p.161)

“Symmetry intimately involves the most basic of mathematical concepts: equivalence. When two things are the same thing, or equivalent, in mathematics, we say that they are equal, and we use the ubiquitous = sign.”

Leon M. Lederman & Christopher T. Hill

(Symmetry and the Beautiful Universe, 2004, pp.14-15)

The EQUAL sign is at the heart of the code (master equation, standard, idea, pattern, principle) of Nature’s symmetry.

Symmetry is a purely mathematical and, therefore, immaterial STRUCTURE unifying two aspects which are related. This abstract relationship of sameness (wholeness) describes a dynamic, most generalized, i.e., SIMPLE PATTERN. The constant interaction of its identical parts creates systematic properties, i.e., interconnected, self-similar and self-organizing phenomena (parts and laws linking the parts) that constitute holistic, evolving reality (Nature). The all-underpinning equation of symmetry, as it describes wholeness in the most abstract, general, immaterial fashion, always stays the same.

“…a complete description (…) such a description of objects in this external reality and the relations between them would have to be completely abstract (…) the only properties of these entities would be those embodied by the relations between them (…) a mathematical structure is precisely this: a set of abstract entities with relations between them (…) mathematics is the formal study of structures, that can be defined in a purely abstract way…”

Max Tegmark

(Our Mathematical Universe, 2014, pp. 258-259)

“Symmetry is evident all around us (…) a ball looks unchanged as you turn it around (…) In physics, symmetry manifests in much the same way. If we do something to an equation but the equation doesn’t change, then the thing we did is said to be a symmetry of the equation.”

Brian Cox & Jeff Forshaw

(Why does E=mc²?, 2009, p.187)

Let’s write down this stunningly simple concept (mathematical configuration, equation, piece of information, structure) of equality, equivalence, sameness, symmetry which was scientifically, with the help of mathematics, discovered in Nature and that Albert Einstein focused on.

Or even more mathematically simplified (more generalized):

This is the most abstract, purely mathematical STRUCTURE representing immaterial, creative wholeness as we will now discover. So, Nature, e.g., via its massive objects, presents this simple mathematical MASTER EQUATION (unity, wholeness, statement, state of being) to all equally informed observers. This was the equation on which Einstein focused.

Since equality denotes UNITY, these two identical masses (exhibiting the s...
