Contribution
It introduces a basic informational foundation for physics based on parameter symmetries, enabling new insights and mathematical derivations.
Findings
Identification of core parameters: space, time, mass, charge
Discovery of symmetries explaining physical facts
Derivation of new mathematical theorems from symmetries
Abstract
A core level of basic information for physics is identified, based on an analysis of the characteristics of the parameters space, time, mass and charge. At this level, it is found that certain symmetries operate, which can be used to explain certain physical facts and even to derive new mathematical theorems. Applications are made to classical mechanics, electromagnetic theory and quantum mechanics.
