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 ...

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 ...

(via PBS Space Time) Conservation laws are among the most important tools in physics. They feel as fundamental as you can get. And yet they’re wrong - or at least they’re only right sometimes. These ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Emmy Noether is responsible for an idea so important that it ranks alongside Charles Darwin’s concept of evolution by natural selection as a central and unifying principle in science. It made possible ...
