What are the thinking processes and knowledge resources involved in a complex discovery?Â How can the physics of solids, the physics of nuclei, and elementary particle physics cross-fertilise in spite of the widely differing domains and energy scales they deal with?Â This book addresses the questions by reconstructing and examining from the historical epistemological perspective the fascinating heuristic path to the concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking. This analysis especially brings to light the role that analogical reasoning and mathematical reformulations played inÂ the discovery process, as well as the influence of the JapaneseÂ milieu andÂ approach to physical problems.
