I Symmetry in Physics: Books/Papers for Physical Theories

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on seeking recommendations for books and papers that explore symmetry principles in physics, particularly in relation to deriving physical theories. Notable mentions include "Symmetries in Fundamental Physics" by Sundermeyer and "Physics from Symmetry" by Schwichtenberg. Additionally, Landau & Lifshitz's "Mechanics" is highlighted for its explanation of how conservation laws emerge from symmetry principles. Participants are encouraged to share any relevant literature on the topic. The conversation aims to enhance understanding of the role of symmetry in physical theories.

I am looking for books/papers pertaining to symmetry principles in physics. I am particularly interested in literature aimed at deriving physical theories from their underlying symmetries, but all recommendations are welcome. I already know of the books Symmetries in Fundamental Physics by Sundermeyer and Physics from Symmetry by Schwichtenberg.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Landau & Lifshitz's Mechanics (vol. 1 of their Lectures) shows how the common conservation laws follow from symmetry principles.
 

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
