Abstract
This is an eclectic survey of concepts around superfluidity and symmetry breaking, prepared for the celebration of Phil Anderson's 90th birthday in October 2013. I emphasize, through major examples, that the concepts Anderson pioneered in this field have very wide scope, penetrating in particular into many central issues of high energy physics: electroweak symmetry breaking, confinement, chiral symmetry breaking, and Majorana mass. I also illustrate how Anderson's pseudospin method can be used to exemplify breaking of time translation symmetry.
