MUUUUUHAHAHAHAHAHA! You ASKED!

An invariant is a quantity that doesn't change from situation to situation, for example, the energy equation from relativity theory E^2 = (E_0)^2 + (cp)^2 is invariant among reference frames.

My old undergrad prof who taught us intro to quantum mechanics used to say that-- "When in doubt, use the invariant."
