20. THE SECRET EINSTEIN FILES: THE MAGIC OF THE SWISS CAPITAL OF BERN

THE SECRET EINSTEIN FILES ARE REVEALED:
Einstein’s true legacy is his ground-breaking discovery that simple, beautiful, and purely mathematical LOCAL SYMMETRY is Nature’s (the cosmos’s) primary feature. Understanding central properties of Local Symmetry can also help us to see why the Swiss Capital of BERN was such a perfect location for Einstein to unveil Local Symmetry. This highlights why understanding Nature’s core principle of Local Symmetry is so important for each human being – and hence humanity as a whole – with respect to building a positive future for all: people and planet. #alberteinstein #localsymmetry #bern #switzerland #swiss #bit #information #physics #sun #space #time #creativity #consciousness #source #intelligence #science #art #energy #cosmos #mathematics #nature #balance #simplicity #elegance #harmony #humanity #code #design

Why understanding Local Symmetry is super important:

In 1907, in the Swiss capital Bern, thinking about a person in free fall, Albert Einstein had his, as he called it himself, HAPPIEST THOUGHT—seeing his revolutionary equivalence principle, LOCAL SYMMETRY, Nature’s simple, mathematical core principle. Locally, the freely falling person demonstrates that BEING AT REST (#1) IS THE SAME AS MOTION (#2), as the accelerating person cannot feel his/her weight, so it appears to the person that he/she is just hovering in midair, i.e. is at rest. This is the space-independent and timeless Local Symmetry of 1=2, a purely mathematical, fundamental thought.

“I was sitting in a chair in the patent office at Bern when all of a sudden a thought occurred to me: “If a person falls freely he will not feel his own weight.” I was startled. This simple thought [of LOCAL SYMMETRY] made a deep impression on me. It impelled me toward a theory of gravitation.”
Albert Einstein
(as quoted in: “From Galileo to Gell-Mann” by M. Bersanelli & M. Gargantini, 2009, p.110)

“…local symmetry dictates what you must do, every step of the way.”
Frank Wilczek
(The Lightness of Being, 2010, p.72)

“I regard Einstein’s understanding of how symmetry dictates design as one of the truly profound insights in the history of physics.”
Anthony Zee
(Fearful Symmetry, 2007, p.98)

“Based on our experiences so far, we have reason to be confident that nature is the realization of the simplest conceivable mathematical idea.”
Albert Einstein
(On the Method of Theoretical Physics, 10 June 1933, Author translation)

“Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe—a spirit vastly superior to that of man ...”
Albert Einstein
(Albert Einstein’s Letter to Phyllis, 1936)

“I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.”
Max Planck

“…the universe can be best pictured (…) as consisting of pure thought, the thought of (…) a mathematical thinker.”
James Jeans
(The Mysterious Universe, 2023, p.124)

“…consciousness is a singular of which the plural is unknown; that there is only one thing...”
Erwin Schrödinger
(as quoted in: “Quantum Questions”, edited by Ken Wilber, 2001, p.94)

“The perspectives offered by symmetry (…) It is imperative that we try to give the nonscientific members of society, who, through democratic processes, make the final decisions, a better understanding of the key issues. In fact, our future depends upon it.”
Leon M. Lederman & Christopher T. Hill
(Symmetry and the Beautiful Universe, 2004, pp.24-25)
