Everything about Global Symmetry totally explained

A global symmetry is a symmetry that holds for all points in the spacetime under consideration, as opposed to a local symmetry that only holds for an open subset of points. Most physical theories are described by Lagrangians which are invariant under certain transformations, when the transformations performed at different space-time points are linearly related—they have global symmetries.
   In quantum field theory, for example, a global symmetry is any symmetry of a model which isn't a gauge symmetry. A gauge symmetry is a local symmetry which only allows us to predict the future evolution of a state given its current state up to a gauge transformation. So, a global symmetry is any symmetry, which acting upon any state, never acts to leave the current state invariant but yet changes the future or past state simultaneously.

Do you know how hard it is to get a link from a large encyclopaedia? Well we're different and will prove it. To get a link from us just add the following HTML to your site on a relevant page:

    <a href="http://global_symmetry.totallyexplained.com">Global symmetry Totally Explained</a>

Then simply click through this link from your web page. Our crawlers will verify your link, extract the title of your web page and instantly add a link back to it. If you like you can remove the words Totally Explained and embed the link in article text.
   As long as your link remains in place, we'll keep our link to you right here. Please play fair - our crawlers are watching. Your site must be closely related to this one's topic.
