„I first heard the term “Lie Symmetry” on the radio segment „Finding Beautiful Symmetry Near Absolute Zero“. There, physicist Alan Tennant described his study of transitions in the quantum states of deeply cooled ions – “when water goes from ice to liquid, there are transitions between these states. At the exact point where you change from one state to another, that‘s where you get the really important stuff … In fact, [these transitions] are quite beautiful. The quantum aspect of the system provides a kind of a simplification, an extra layer of order that you wouldn‘t expect.” This order or symmetry is known as E8 or Lie Symmetry“.
