1955 · 355490725889 — 1955. Symmetry of Physical Laws - Part 1 Symmetry in Space -Time and Balance Theorems & Part 2 Q-Number Theory of Space-time Inversions and Charge Conjugation. Published by: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School Monterey California circa 1955-1956. Two stapled papers offprints from Review of Modern Physics - “Reprinted from Review of Modern Physics Vol 27 No. 1 pp 26-39 and pp 40-76 January 1955 printed in the U.S.A". Watanabe Satoshi 26 May 1910 – 15 October 1993 was a theoretical physicist. He studied various topics such as the time reversal of quantum mechanics pattern recognition cognitive science and the concept of time. He was the first physicist who claimed that quantum probability theory is time-asymmetric irreversible; non-invariant under time reversal and reject the conventional analysis of the time reversal of probability laws. He developed the Double Inferential Vector Formalism DIVF later known as the Two-state vector formalism TSVF which is sometimes interpreted as contradicting his claim of time-asymmetry but this is a misunderstanding. Watanabe investigated how symmetries in space-time relate to various "balance theorems" which are consequences of inversibility and reversibility. EXTREMELY RARE AND IMPORTANT. No results on COPAC.
