The Forces of Nature and Symmetries
1:34:24 - 1:38:42 (04:18)
The forces of nature arise in our theories as a consequence of symmetries, which are found when particles interact at a close range. These basic ingredients create an unbelievably complicated universe that includes stars, planets, matter, and us.

Summary
The few particles and forces in the universe create an incredibly complex system, including the formation of stars, matter and ourselves. The forces of nature arise as a result of symmetries in our theories, making them look like simple interactions between particles when observed from up close.

Physicists struggle to understand how something as complex as a molecule can arise from the elementary laws of physics, especially considering that only one in a billion particles created at the beginning of time have survived until today.
