Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights continue to shape physics. In the fall of 1915, the foundations of physics ...

Imagine a juggler tossing balls into the air. The art of juggling is a dance between motion and pause, where the ball’s speed slows as it ascends, and then quickens on the way down. This dance reveals ...

In this video, we explore the concept of symmetry, regarded as the root of physics. We delve into the significance of symmetry and its connection to group theory, particularly Noether's Theorem, which ...

Isabel Rabey reviews Einstein’s Tutor: the Story of Emmy Noether and the Invention of Modern Physics by Lee Philips In his debut book, Einstein’s Tutor: the Story of Emmy Noether and the Invention of ...

Flawed conservation laws are consequences of a much deeper principle: Noether’s theorem. Conservation laws are among the most important tools in physics. They feel as fundamental as you can get. And ...

Birkhoffian systems represent a natural extension of classical Hamiltonian mechanics, offering a flexible framework to describe the dynamics of nonconservative systems. Emerging from the work of ...

Noether's theorem is a thread woven into the fabric of the science. We are able to understand the world because it is predictable. If we drop a rubber ball, it falls down rather than flying up. But ...

Emmy Noether may be the most influential mathematician you’ve never heard of. In 1918, she solved a puzzle in Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity. To do that, she created a mathematical ...
