How Gauge Symmetry Powers Starburst’s Charge Conservation
Gauge symmetry is the silent architect behind one of electromagnetism’s most fundamental laws: charge conservation. While often invisible, this principle shapes observable phenomena—most strikingly illustrated by the radiant patterns of Starburst. By exploring how gauge invariance preserves electric charge, we uncover a deep bridge between abstract mathematics and physical reality. Introduction: Gauge Symmetry as the [...]
