Imagine a juggler tossing balls into the air. The art of juggling is a dance between motion and pause, where the ball’s speed ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
When news breaks, you need to understand what actually matters. At Vox, our mission is to help you make sense of the world — and that work has never been more vital. But we can’t do it on our own. We ...
Emmy Noether was mathematician who was influential in abstract algebra and theoretical physics, and now she is being honored with a Google doodle. Artist Sophie Diao created the doodle that ...
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 ...
Albert Einstein is a household name. Emmy Noether? Never heard of her. Amalie Emmy Noether, born on this day in 1882, has been called a “creative mathematical genius.” She battled sexism throughout ...
