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 ...

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 ...

The first of two Perimeter Institute public lectures this week. Emmy Noether was a giant of mathematics, whose work tied together two fundamental concepts: conservation laws and symmetries in nature.

The year 1915 was a big moment for physics. That was when Albert Einstein published his general theory of relativity, one of the most transformative ideas about the universe ever formulated. And that ...

One of the most important, powerful and beautiful ideas in modern physics is Noether’s theorem. This essentially says that the fundamental laws of physics are a manifestations of symmetry in 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 ...

Tonight marks the longest lunar eclipse this century with the spectacular event being visible for most people except those in North America. A total lunar eclipse is when the Sun, Earth and Moon ...

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 ...
