Noether's theorem or Noether's first theorem states that every differentiable <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiable_function> symmetry <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_in_physics> of the action <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_(physics)> of a physical system with conservative forces <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_force> has a corresponding conservation law <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_law>. For example, symmetry with respect to time gives rise to the law of conservation of energy, maybe the most important conservation law in physics. Any solution of the equation is independent of the direction of time, the solution does not depend explicitly on time. So energy conservation results. Every conservation law has an associated symmetry. When a symmetry is broken, so too is the associated conservation law. LENR overunity is accompanied by spontaneous symmetry breaking. The Mexican hat potential is associated with spontaneous symmetry breaking. [image: 270px-Mexican_hat_potential_polar.svg.png] Both superconductivity and the Higgs field are derivative of this potential. This potential is how superconductivity and the Higgs field are connected. They can break energy conservation when spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs. If the vacuum expectation value is changed, the mass of any particle that exists under that state will change. In LENR, this is how the charge in the mass of the up and down quarks produces transmutation under the Higgs mechanism. What is important in LENR, condensed matter systems involving superconductivity produce changes in the vacuum expectation value and can change what the Higgs field does. When you can change what the Higgs field does, you can change the way the universe works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0OC7e45k5c
