| Laws | Barrow | I 54f Laws/Natural Laws/Barrow: there is no system of mechanical rules or laws that can be verified other than statistically. - There are always uncertainties, which can be reduced only by repetition. >Repetition, >Laws of nature, >Experiments, >Verification, >Knowledge, >Ignorance. I 55 A statistical law can never be falsified because the result of observations in the future may always be different. >Falsification, >Rules, cf. >Rule following. I 186 Universal Law/Laws/Theory of everything/TOE/Great Unifying theory/GUT/Universality/Eugene Wigner: if the universal law of nature should be discovered, invariance principles would only be mathematical transformations that leave the law invariant. >Theory of Everything, >Invariants. I 187 Relativity/Barrow: when we say that the natural laws match that does not mean that different observers will measure the same quantities. >Observation, >Relativity, >Measurement, >Coordinate systems, >Quantities/Physics. |

| Prediction | Kauffman | I 32 Explanation/forecasts/theory/Kauffman: Difference: a tide table predicts events, but does not explain them. >Explanation, >Causal explanation, >Levels/order. Newton's theory predicts and explains events. Darwin: in the opinion of many, his theory has little predictive value. GUT/Great Unifying Theory: our final theory of physics should provide explanations, but also no predictions. >Great Unifying Theory, >Theory of everything. |

| Symmetries | Kanitscheider | I 277 Symmetries/Kanitscheider: electromagnetic interaction: quantum electrodynamics, symmetry U(1), Strong Interaction: Quantum Chromodynamics, Symmetry of Color SU(3) Weak WW: Group SU(2) First unification step: Salam/Weinberg: gauge theory with the group structure SU(2)xU(1) Georgi/Glashow: (1974) 'Unification of the electroweak with the strong interaction: GUT/Great Unifying Theory: fundamental symmetry SU(5), which as a subgroup is the product of the three original forces SU(3)cxSU(2)xU(1) with included. I 276 Symmetry breaking/Kanitscheider: the spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs when the symmetric solution is unstable with a symmetric basic law. This transitions the system into an asymmetric state that obscures the original symmetry of the law. A broken symmetry is epistemically a hidden symmetry. I 279 Symmetry/Kanitscheider: a completely isotropic liquid can become anisotropic because of its crystalline character. Permanent magnets lose the common alignment of all elemental north and south poles when heated. In general, a system has higher symmetries at high temperatures than at lower ones. |

| Anthropic Principle | Kanitscheider Vs Anthropic Principle | Kanitscheider I 279 VsAnthropic Principle/AP/Kanitscheider: this shows how a stronger explanation than "s = 10 exp 8, because we are here"... can look. However, it remains the case that a change in the value of s would be fatal: a lowering would have led to the fact that due to the low radiation pressure matter would have been transformed early into heavy elements and then no energy sources would have been available. I 280 A lift of s also did not provide any energy sources, because the galaxies could not have formed because of the high radiation pressure. Nevertheless, a causal explanation by means of a GUT (Great Unifying Theory) is superior to the AP (Anthropic Principle). Kanitscheider II 88 Flatness Problem/Kanitscheider: Standard model: must accept any kind of space curvature as a contingent fact. After that it is amazing that the universe has expanded just as it is and has made our existence as thinking beings possible. (Or at any moment has Euclidean Geometry). In the General Relativity Theory, the flat metric has no excellent position. InflationVsAnthropic Principle: Inflation is a heuristic principle that sets in motion the search for hot and cold dark matter to causally explain its actual nature. Great Unifying Theory/Kanitscheider: no longer up to date today. It makes it possible to understand the Weinberg angle and the amount equality of the charge of proton and electron as necessary traits of nature. II 81 VsGreat Unifying Theory: it turned out that the lifetime of the proton is considerably longer: at least 1032 years half-life, if not infinite. Now there are other symmetries, e.g. SO(10), which predict a longer lifetime. |

| Various Authors | Penrose Vs Various Authors | Dennett I 626 GUT/ theory / PenroseVsWeinberg: if there is a unified theory, it must be quite different. It cannot be a physical theory in the traditional sense, there must be more of a principle, which includes even non-mechanical subtleties (and perhaps creativity). (GUT = Great Unifying Theory). |
