Emmy Noether’s groundbreaking theorem transformed physics by linking symmetry to conservation laws. If you were drifting alone through the vast emptiness of deep space and hurled a rock into the void, ...

Emmy Noether was a mathematician who discovered perhaps the most profound idea in contemporary physics. Noether’s theorem, which she formulated in 1915, says that symmetries in the universe give rise ...

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 ...

In the fall of 1915, the foundations of physics began to crack. Einstein’s new theory of gravity seemed to imply that it should be possible to create and destroy energy, a result that threatened to ...

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 ...

Abstract: We prove a Noether type symmetry theorem to fractional problems of the calculus of variations with classical and Riemann-Liouville derivatives. As result, we obtain constants of motion (in ...

Amalie Emmy Noether—known as Emmy—is one of history’s greatest mathematicians. Her groundbreaking work, Noether’s theorem, serves as the foundation for today’s standard model of particle physics. Some ...

Pythagoras Theorem: The Pythagoras Theorem is a fundamental principle in geometry, attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. This theorem establishes a relationship between the sides ...
