I commend you Thomas on the detail fact finding missions you must go on in your Super Facts blog…. It must take time to put together for your posts.. Something I appreciate ..
Wishing you a great weekend.. 🙂

]]>Thank you so much Denise. Yes it is a good example of mathematics revolutionizing science/physics. I just added this concluding summary.
Noether’s Theorem changes how we view the Universe and the laws of physics. For example, the conservation of energy is not just something we empirically discovered. It follows mathematically from physical laws not changing by time. It represents a paradigm shift in science that arguably is as important as quantum mechanics or relativity and yet very few people have heard of it. I find that quite shocking.

]]>Yes she revolutionized physics and all of science, and mathematics of course. I think that one reason her theorem has not received as much attention as let say quantum physics or relativity is because it is difficult to explain even in its simplest form. It does not advertise itself well. But maybe it also because she is a woman. It makes it harder get attention.

This is a huge discovery and paradigm shift arguably as important as quantum of relativity, and yet it is completely unknown. The fact that we can mathematically derive conservation laws (such as conservation of energy) from continuous symmetries like physical laws don’t change by time changes how we view physical laws, and it is very practical too.
