Thanks! I am trying to find some work I read years ago where it describes some mathematicians' (I recall John Von Neumann) deep fascination with the hypothetical perfect symmetry that existed just prior to the Big Bang and how exquisite it's properties are. Any place you can point me to for this?

How certain can we be that the four fundamental forces as identified in modern cosmology, owe their existence to broken symmetry?
