I 193 Laws of nature: E.g. (conserved) momentum is invariant under translations in space. Energy: in translations in time angular momentum under rotations in space This follows from the fact that the laws of nature are neither dependent on the place nor the time, nor on the orientation. Symmetry: has higher rank among scientists, as the equations that explain the changes. I 491 Sizes/Independence/System/Barrow: to make sizes independently of a system, we need the basic variables only as ratios of magnitudes of the same kind. >Independence, >Systems.}, note = { B I John D.
