Shouhong Wang : Physical Laws of Nature vs Fundamental First Principles

In this talk, we attempt to derive some experimentally verifiable physical laws of nature based only on a few fundamental first principles. First, we present two basic principles, the principle of interaction dynamics (PID) and the principle of representation invariance (PRI). Intuitively, PID takes the variation of the action under energy-momentum conservation constraint. PID offers a completely different and natural way of introducing Higgs fields. For gravity, we show that PID is the direct consequence of EinsteinÂ?s principle of general relativity and the presence of dark matter and dark energy. PRI requires that the SU(N) gauge theory be independent of representations of SU(N). PRI has remarkably rich physical consequences. Second, we show that the physical laws of the four fundamental forcesÂ?gravity, electromagnetic force, weak and strong forcesÂ?are dictated by 1) the Einstein principle of general relativity, 2) the principle of gauge symmetry, 3) PID, and 4) PRI. The new theory will lead to solutions to a number of longstanding problems in particle physics and cosmology. The talk is based on recent joint work with Tian Ma.
