"Symmetry is a way of saying that there's a transformation we can do to some object that leaves its essential features invariant."
"Every zero eigenvalue corresponds to some kind of invariance in your system."
"There must be something invariant, something which doesn't vary if it is translated from one language to the other language."
"The Conservation of Energy means a certain magic combination connected to the velocity of the object and to its location, U depends on x, that does not change with time."
"The space-time interval is invariant for all observers in special relativity."
"A mathematical object that measures or models dependence should be invariant under strictly increasing transformations of the margins."
"The invariance principle is an extremely important result."
"Reference frames essentially allow us to create a single invariant structure that completely describes an object or a concept."
"Most things are relative. Distance between events -- relative. Time interval between events -- relative. But this combination is somehow invariant. Everybody agrees on what it is."
"Tensors are objects that are invariant under a change of coordinates, and have components that change in some special predictable way under a change of coordinates."

"Point sets should be invariant under transformations."
"The Lorentz invariant inner product of two vectors is something which will not change when you do Lorentz transformation."
"The dot product is an invariant. This is a very important notion."
"Being invariant to the choice of parameterization seems like a good thing."

"Symmetries are operations that you can do on states of systems that don't change the equations."
"The laws of physics are invariant in any individual frame of reference."
"For a field to satisfy a gauge theory, it must be invariant to changes in the underlying field which vary in some way from place to place or from time to time."
"The electromagnetic field tensor, and the important thing about it is that it's gauge invariant."
"The coefficient of variation stays the same when we multiply every observation by three or by anything."
"Tensors are mathematical tools that are important for studying relativity because they help us write the laws of physics in a way that's the same in all coordinate systems."

"Adding a constant to each value of a one variable data set changes the mean but not the standard deviation."
"Reflections and rotations are going to preserve distance and angles."
"An eigenvector... does not change direction; it may change lengths but it won't change direction."
"Since the surface is invariant by assumption, the volume of all those points inside will also be invariant."
"The solid torus is an invariant object, surface plus interior, as well as that the surface is invariant also."
"We require that the scalar field should be invariant under a local gauge transformation."
"A reflection, a rotation, or a translation always preserve distance and angle measure; they never change the size of the shape."
"A rigid motion is any transformation that does not change the size nor the shape of an object."
"Symmetry is a transformation that maps a figure onto itself."
