Is Symmetry Breaking Occurring in Our Physical System Experiments?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the occurrence of symmetry breaking phenomena in a complex physical mathematical system, with participants noting similarities to translatable symmetry and the process of freezing in materials like water and silica. The experiments are still in the lab phase, and no formal publications have been made. Participants emphasize the importance of peer-reviewed publication before further discussion can occur, as the total entropy of the system is reportedly decreasing, which is a critical factor in understanding the symmetry phenomena observed.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of symmetry breaking in physics
  • Familiarity with complex physical mathematical systems
  • Knowledge of entropy and its implications in physical systems
  • Experience with scientific publication processes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of symmetry breaking in quantum field theory
  • Explore the relationship between entropy and phase transitions in materials
  • Study the process of peer review in scientific publishing
  • Investigate experimental methods for observing symmetry phenomena in physical systems
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, researchers in complex systems, and students studying thermodynamics and symmetry in physical phenomena will benefit from this discussion.

TL;DR
Found some symmetry (breaking) phenominon in complex physical mathematical system, is there a possibility symmetry breaking is occuring?
In some experiments of a complex physical mathematical system, we found some symmetry phenomenon, very similar as symmetry breaking phenomenon, say, as translatable sysmmetry etc. These symmetry (breaking) phenomenon occurs in most of the parts of the system or some parts of the system. Can you say symmetry breaking is occurring in this system? You can think it as a voting. Do you support or deny it is occurring? Or give a probability that you think it is occurring. Thanks in advance!

Can you post links to the journal articles describing these experiments? That will help to facilitate the discussion. Thank you.
 
Sorry, mentor. Factually our experiments are still in the labs and we have not published any paper about it yet Factually it is a complex physical mathematical system. And we know the total entropy of it is decreasing. Then in the experiment we found some symmetry phenomenon, say, translatable symmetry, very similar to, or at least a little similar to the process of water(or silica) freezing into ice(or glass) where symmetry breaking is occurring. .
 
This is way too vague...

If your system is not closed you'll need to describe the environment too (in addition to the system, that is still completely unclear). But if this is not published, and you think it is something new, please do publish it first. Once it passed peer review we can discuss it here.

Sorry, per our rules we cannot discuss it at this point. We do not give any sort of pre-publication support, advice, or feedback. Once it has been published in the scientific literature, then we can discuss it here. Until then, this thread is closed.
