To What Extent is the Poincaré symmetry exact?


Submitted by Yasaman Farzan, SLAC graduate student.

Looking back on the history of science, discovering that different symmetries are not exact has ushered in a new era. Poincaré symmetry is particularly interesting because it is currently considered the most sacred geometry. Moreover, its evolution to the form we learn about today has marked great revolution in physics, in the past.
