In the early 1900s, mathematician Emmy Noether came up with a theorem to help resolve some problems with Einstein's theory of gravity, general relativity. Little did she know it would change physics ...

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 ...

This year is the centennial of Noether’s theorem, which is often called the most beautiful result in mathematical physics. Developed by Amalie Emmy Noether (1882-1935), the theorem resolves questions ...

Noether’s theorem is a fundamental result in physics stating that every symmetry of the dynamics implies a conservation law. It is, however, deficient in several respects: for one, it is not ...

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 ...

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 ...

Einstein referred to her as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. Her theorem has been recognized as “one of the most important mathematical theorems ever proved in guiding the ...

Among the most creative and original mathematical thinkers (explanations of her work are virtually incomprehensible to us mortals who communicate in words rather than symbols), Amalie “Emmy” Noether’s ...

On a warm summer evening, a visitor to 1920s Göttingen, Germany, might have heard the hubbub of a party from an apartment on Friedländer Way. A glimpse through the window would reveal a gathering of ...

Among the most creative and original mathematical thinkers – explanations of her work are virtually incomprehensible to us mortals, who communicate in words rather than symbols – Amalie “Emmy” Noether ...
