“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)

“…local symmetry dictates what you must do, every step of the way.”

Frank Wilczek

(The Lightness of Being, 2010, p.72)

“Change is unavoidable (…) it has to do a lot with the hard laws of physics. We need to change (…) The whole economy has to change (…) You can simply not manage the 21st century with short-termism anymore (…) If there is anything from which we can learn, it’s absolutely nature; because nature, it’s the biggest and the best circular economy (…) We belong to (…) nature. And that’s why we have to behave like we are part of (…) nature (…) Environment and economy are two sides of the same coin.” Janez Potočnik

(New environmentalism and the circular economy: Janez Potočnik at TEDxFlanders, 04 April 2014)

“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)

“The central guiding principle, local symmetry, is as beautiful as it is deep.”

Frank Wilczek

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

PART 1

“…there is only one word which really solves the whole puzzle in all its forms.” Albert Einstein

(Out of My Later Years, a collection of essays by Albert Einstein, 1995, p.64)

A WORD ABOUT LOCAL SYMMETRY

When a physicist speaks of LOCAL SYMMETRY, he or she, is referring to:

The primary feature of the Cosmos (Nature), with its myriad of synonyms, such as:

Sameness (continuously being identical)

Equivalence (being equal)

Invariance (no change, staying unchanged)

Covariance (independence of the used coordinate system to describe Nature’s local laws)

Balance

Harmony

Constancy (e.g., the constant lightspeed in vacuum)

Conservation (staying the same)

Unity, Wholeness

Simplicity

Elegance

Most people think of symmetry only as reflection symmetry, like the sameness of two butterfly wings.

In physics, however, symmetry is a much broader, or general term, and thanks to Albert Einstein, LOCAL SYMMETRY is considered to be Nature’s amazingly simple and beautiful, all-underpinning core principle.

PROLOGUE

“I so wonder what happened two years ago?” said Elli Chang, the sixteen-year-old teenage girl, gazing into the evening sun. Her purple hair glimmered magically under the influence of the last warm rays of the sun. Next to her, a sparkling fountain, with a rotating globe of planet Earth in its middle, made relaxing lapping noises.

Zac Palmer as Elli Chang’s sixteen-year-old boyfriend, U.S. President Terence Mitchell, Mala-Am, a small green alien, her husband Bobo-Am, and James, the robot, all nodded along. They sat together, in the beautiful garden of the magical white temple set on top of the island, with its abundance of wildlife and observed the most gorgeous sunset over the vast ocean surrounding them.

Not so long ago, for two long years, the sky had been dark and covered with evil-looking, toxic clouds out of which the ugly B-Minus-Birds had shot out on their patrol flights, guided by the ruthless, ruling AGI system, called AGI Lord Master.

But now, thanks to the previous brave and risky actions of Zac, Elli and their die-hard cohorts during several fierce battles, they had eventually defeated AGI Lord Master and his vicious army of robots and drones, making them their allies, and thus turning the sky beautifully blue again.

In addition, due to their relentless researching, they were also aware of the most significant scientific discovery that Albert Einstein had made. That the primary feature of the Cosmos is Local Symmetry. They were able to see what a prosperous, eco-intelligent and climate-smart reality for all people and planet Earth could look like and how it functioned.

Given all that, they should have felt happy, and been more at ease with themselves and the universe. The colorful birds in the garden were singing, bumble bees were humming and buzzing around, and the fine scent of the countless, diverse types of flowers was both intoxicating and invigorating.

Yet, into this very amazing atmosphere, accompanied by the soothing sound of the ocean’s rhythmic waves, perfected and complemented by the elegant circling of giant eagles in the bright sky above them (formerly the half organic, half machine ugly cyborg B-Minus-Birds), a nagging question kept intruding into their thoughts.

What had mysteriously caused and suddenly created that bleak, dark reality two years ago? And, why couldn’t anyone remember what had occurred?

“It must have been something really big”, Zac finally murmured, still staring into the void, while the emerging night sky displayed the first stars and crescent moon. “It had to be something major, kick-ass and super bad, and I am sensing we need to know what happened in order to build a better world…”

“I think the answer is on its way,” James, the robot, announced, pointing up into the sky. “AGI Lord Master just signaled that he found two teenagers who can provide us with that information.”

“There she is!” President Mitchell exclaimed as he saw Goldy, their spaceship, coming out of hyperspace.

“So very exciting three times, times many more times” Mala-Am said with radiating eyes. Bobo-Am winked at her with a smile, “Let’s see, honey, who the Cosmos is presenting to us now!”

Goldy stopped in midair, hovering above the temple. Two light beams emerged from the spaceship, and seconds later a teenage boy and girl appeared in the garden. The boy had bright blue hair, and the girl had green. Looking a little nervous, they smiled at the crew in the garden.

“If what they are going to tell us is as colorful and surprising as their hair, I think we are in for a ride,” said Zac.

TWO YEARS EARLIER…

CHAPTER 1

“The laws of Nature, always the same,

Nature has a symmetry frame.

What we now need, a global green deal,

System Change Compass, the steering wheel.”

Isaac Kirby reached over from his bed and turned off the radio alarm clock, that had just woken him to the chorus of the famous Einstein rap song.

“What I now need, is a yummy breakfast fast,

A bagel and some cream cheese, that’ll be a blast.”

Continuing with the rap rhythm Isaac jumped right out of his bed and as usual, tripped over his slippers. “Oh, man!” he yelled.

“What happened, Isaac?” his mother asked from down below.

“I stumbled over my slippers again.”

“Again?” the voice of Isaac’s dad could be heard from the kitchen, too.

“Yeah, Mom, Dad, again. I’m telling you, if you allow me to skateboard inside the house, we’ll be all much safer!”

“Not gonna happen, not gonna happen!” Sarah, his little sister shouted in a sing-song kind of way.

“Hurry up, Isaac. Your bagel is getting cold, and your dad is about to eat it.”

“Parents!” Isaac exclaimed, putting on his jeans, T-shirt, and sneakers with lightspeed. He grabbed his backpack with his books for school along with his handheld console (just in case things got too snoot-fest-type boring, which for an above-average whizz-kid like Isaac could easily happen). Isaac sped down, or rather slid down, the stair railing like a fourteen-year-old superhero from a multi-million-dollar action movie ready to save the world, but this morning it was just his bagel that he was saving. Anyway, the important point is, action heroes are always purpose-driven when they release their never-ending badass energy supply with this magical sense of urgency. Isaac, who was a bit skinny and had funny looking blue hair (brown was his natural, fit-in-with-the-herd hair color), also liked to think of himself as incessantly being on a world-saving mission.

“WOW!” Isaac bellowed as he almost crashed into his dad when he flew off the end of the banister to land somewhere in the hallway.

“Easy, tiger!” said his dad with a smile and a bit of head shaking, as he stepped out of the kitchen. “You know, technically, you could set the alarm to go off a bit earlier, Isaac, so we wouldn’t…”

“What’s fun about that?!” interrupted Isaac.

“Right. So, let’s change the subject to …this,” Isaac’s dad handed him his most important item for starting the day, the bagel with oh-so-heavenly cream cheese and several drops of strawberry jam to also make it into a bit of a pastry. Two in one, that was the brilliant, cosmic deal for Isaac, whose full name actually was Isaacson. But Isaac rocked much more, and it was obviously much shorter, and saved time, especially if you were to run into super big, super angry aliens and had to introduce yourself very quickly, and then hand-signal a lot of friendly gestures and eventually sign an intergalactic peace treaty. So, of course, it felt more self-determined to leave out the ‘son’ part of his name.

“Thanks, Dad!” Isaac grabbed the symmetrically round-baked bagel and rushed out of the door before his mom, a kindergarten teacher, could shout, “Love you!” and his little sister, “Hate you!”, and he had to respond in a semi-appropriate fashion, like, “Love and hate you more!”

“Hey, Isaac. Don’t you wanna take a sweater with you? It’s still chilly spring outside!” his dad remarked as his son whizzed out of the door.

“Thanks, but no thanks, for the safety notice, Mr. Weatherman. What’s cool about wearing a sweater when you wanna shine on a scooter?!” As much as Isaac loved his dad, whose name, by the way, was Walter and was eternally glad his parents had not named him Walterson, or something more drastic, he always had to tease his dad, just a little bit, about the fact that he worked at a local weather channel.

All in all, the Kirby’s were a pretty normal crazy family.

Naturally, getting the electric scooter out of the garage was not the most amazing part of Isaac’s ride to school especially as the garage door, although automatic, opened very slowly, like it was recovering from knee surgery. No, no, the best part began, when his imagination started to go wild, which, today, happened to turn out like this…

“YES!”

And “YES” meant that on either side of his scooter, two rockets appeared, ignited and gave Isaac a mega boost. He was zig zagging at high speed through the cars, many of whom stood still in a traffic jam. More than one surprised driver spilled his or her morning coffee, when they saw Isaac chasing by or jumping over their cars.

Naturally, when you travel with that much speed, well over the speed limit, of course, you owe it to yourself and the idea of coolness, to also jump off a bridge, land on top of a cargo train, then jump off again to land in a big mall, where you scare all the shoppers when you show them how much fun it is to thunder down the escalator. Since there are so many spectators, it goes without saying, that it calls for some artistic stunts as well, the crazier the better. Like only driving on the squealing front wheels and stopping right in front of an ice cream parlor and so on.

The dumb thing is, as much fun as such out-of-the-ordinary capers are, for all who want to stay forever young, time keeps ticking on in rather an unimpressed manner.

So, just to round up his action-packed trip to school, Isaac made the scooter go full speed again to jump over a river next to his school. With a loud WOOMM, Isaac landed on the square in front of his high school, fishtailing towards the entrance.

Everything worked out super cool, just as it’s supposed to when a real super-mega-ultra-action-hero appears in front of a building, be it a secret military compound, the hide-out of a terrible ugly villain, or, as in Isaac’s case, his high school.

But the Cosmos has a sense of humor and loves the unexpected. Plus, every superhero has a weak spot. Just before Isaac came to a most awesome stop with screeching tires at the entrance, he encountered his weakness: Sally Sartis, 16 years old, very pretty and with very long legs. Everything started to move in super slow motion, totally in sync with Sally’s elegant model-like walk. Suddenly, it seemed like time had stopped, and only Sally’s long, green hair magically danced slowly in the wind. The fact that almost all students had colored their hair to protest climate change did not matter, because all the background images became blurry, all the conversations and noises were indistinct now. Only Sally’s sweet, sweet laughter echoed in Isaac’s ears. So, this, being the unexpected part was also Isaac’s weak spot.

Now came part one of this ‘sort of’ hilarious aspect, however, Isaac would probably totally disagree that it was funny. Just as Isaac’s dreamy eyes had completely focused on how Sally was able to move her hair out of her face in such an inspiring way, and having no words to describe it, a badass problem entered the scene: GREG, SALLY’S QUARTERBACK-BOYFRIEND, who totally messed up the entire state of cosmic harmony between Sally and Isaac, by giving Sally a kiss ON THE CHEEK!!! OMG!!!

Part two of the comically unfolding reality was, of course, that poor Isaac, after all the daredevil stunts he had performed, and for which, had they been really real, should have gotten him several awards, lost control over his scooter. Sadly, he did not land on Sally, which could have, just maybe, been a bit of an upside of the accident. Nope, instead Isaac hit a trash can. Ouch! Yeah, dumb luck! To say the least. Sometimes…life is very unfair.

It's bad enough when all the students around laugh at you, the science nerd, the skinny geek, the clumsy dork, the one who always finishes long-throw challenges last in gym class, and Instagram and Tik-Tok your personal scooter disaster all over social media. From Los Angeles to South Africa and instantly to remote villages in the Himalaya mountains. But when such an internationally broadcast crash-landing into a trash can (never mind that what’s inside the trash can is sticky too) ends with your handheld console being broken…that is and will be a rough day.

“Shit!” Isaac, cursed summing it all up. Who said being a superhero was easy, especially when you are smart!
