CURIE'S PRINCIPLE

Abstract

A reading is given of Curie's Principle that the symmetry of a cause is always preserved its effects. The truth of the principle is demonstrated and its importance, under the proposed reading, is defended.

“As far as I see, all a priori statements in physics have their origin in symmetry.” (Weyl, Symmetry, p. 126)
