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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

When news breaks, you need to understand what actually matters — and what to do about it. At Vox, our mission to help you make sense of the world has never been more vital. But we can’t do it on our ...
