Why do scientists think symmetry is beautify?

You're biologically programmed to do so. Human facial beauty essentially requires symmetry; somebody with a nose bent to one side or a missing tooth or a lazy eye is less attractive because their face is asymmetric. Symmetry indicates a lack of defects.

I would say because symmetry gives you lots of information about something. Like in your pic those can be seen as group structures with plane geometry. We can define transformstions, invariant points, geometries etc.

Because it can significantly reduce computational costs of simulations. Mechanical engineer speaking, for all it matters.

/sci/ fags are so very susceptible to circular arguments.
We can study symmetry, so lets define beauty as symmetry. Now we can extrapolate evolutionary argument.
Thus is created a floating city of circular references.

And circle have a high degree of symmetry, so this is all good.

OP has some comedy-cliché notion of scientists in lab coats with clipboards calling him names because he barged into a laboratory and upended a colourful test tube

Are there any shapes whose symmetry group is Z/4Z? A bit stumped on this homework problem

Literally easier to compute. Think another way, without symmetry even simple physical experiment would be pain in the ass. Yet, current physical formalism isn't that perfect. Just estimating things.

If you have a simmetry, then by Noether's theorem you also have a conserved quantity
>time translation simmetry -> conserved energy
>space translation simmetry -> conserved momentum
>rotational simmetry -> conserved angular momentum
>U(1) gauge simmetry -> conserved charge
>you get the idea

All these conserved quantities make calculations way easier.
