I think this is called spontaneous symmetry breaking.- Sagittarius A-Star

Undergrad Gerard 't Hooft on the incompleteness of quantum mechanics
Yes, but the initial condition of the system is not symmetric, because one side is up before the coin is thrown. There exists a "same-side-bias" of 50.8%.

Undergrad Gerard 't Hooft on the incompleteness of quantum mechanics
Please consider a 1 photon double-slit experiment, which is symmetric regarding left/right. If a photon is detected on the left side of the photographic plate, how can a deterministic process in a symmetric setup create an asymmetric result?- Sagittarius A-Star

High School Doing more work walking from the pole to the equator
In the co-rotating frame, the centrifugal force does work, because the marble moves away from the Earth axis. It is compensated by negative work of Earth gravity.- Sagittarius A-Star

No. Both, plus calculating to solve problems, are needed for successful lerning.- Sagittarius A-Star

Undergrad Problem in understanding how upwards acceleration works (General Relativity)
Yes. To be more precise: For the free-falling observer, a nearby body on the ground has locally a coordinate-acceleration relative to the falling (=inertial) frame of approximately ##9.81 \ m/s^2## (for ##v<<c##). An observer in a locally free falling elevator-cabin can throw a ball an notices...- Sagittarius A-Star

Graduate Can exact Lorentzian kinematics emerge from Euclidean space?
Yes. It is the unphysical first case ##K=-1## in posting #2, which is an Euclidean rotation in the ##xt## plane. ##\begin{pmatrix} x'\\ t' \end{pmatrix} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-Kv^2}} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -v\\ -Kv & 1 \end{pmatrix}## ##\begin{pmatrix} x'\\ t' \end{pmatrix} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+v^2}}...- Sagittarius A-Star

Graduate Can exact Lorentzian kinematics emerge from Euclidean space?
That's true, but I didn't claim that it is the same. With "4D-Euclidean metric" I referred only to the OP.- Sagittarius A-Star

Graduate Can exact Lorentzian kinematics emerge from Euclidean space?
Given the assumptions in the paper "Nothing but Relativity", including group properties of a transformation (two boosts in one direction are equivalent to one boost of the same form), https://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0302045 the Lorentz transformation as physically relevant follows only for one of...- Sagittarius A-Star
