The Democritean vision of elementary particles as miniature snooker balls, however, has been somewhat vitiated by quantum theory, and it is not merely the classical notion of a particle as a localisable entity which has been undermined, but the mereological notion that a composite system has a unique decomposition into elementary entities. Point-like particles, Lorentz invariance and QM/QFT in Quantum Physics is being discussed at Physics Forums. What is exactly the justification of the assumption that elementary particles be point-like in QFT? Symmetry has been a powerful concept in physics for nearly 100 years, allowing scientists to find unifying principles and build theories that describe how elementary particles and forces interact now and in the early universe. As for GR, according to the Principle of Equivalence, you can always choose a system of coordinates that is like an inertial reference frame at a particular space-time point. I was reading Sakurai's "Invariance Principles and Elementary particles". Given that these modes of excitation satisfy the principles of quantum theory, they are often dubbed 'excitation quanta'. Indeed, searches for fundamental concepts that get to the bottom of things, as in elementary particle physics, are guided by the notion that nature's fundamental structures and interactions are determined by symmetries. The symposium began with a focus on work at Dubna, starting with the unveiling of a monument to Vladimir Veksler, who invented the principle of phase stability (independently from Edwin McMillan in the US) and founded the 10 GeV Synchro- phasotron in The dipole moment of fundamental particles violates both parity and time-reversal invariance. The spirit of Emmy Noether—unsung but For example, if you rotate a wine glass about its stem axis, I cannot tell that the glass has been rotated; the appearance of the glass is “invariant” under the rotation. One of the difficulties here concerns how the PDFs evolve with a change in the wavelength of the probe particle. Harmonic oscillator, superposition, wave-particle duality etc).
