<p><b>One of the most important¿and beautiful¿mathematical solutions ever devised, Noether¿s theorem touches on every aspect of physics.</b></p><p>"In the judgment of the most competent living mathematicians, Fr¿ein Noether was the most significant creative mathematical genius thus far produced since the higher education of women began."¿Albert Einstein</p><p>The year was 1915, and the young mathematician Emmy Noether had just settled into G¿ttingen University when Albert Einstein visited to lecture on his nearly finished general theory of relativity. Two leading mathematicians of the day, David Hilbert and Felix Klein, dug into the new theory with gusto, but had difficulty reconciling it with what was known about the conservation of energy. Knowing of her expertise in invariance theory, they requested Noether¿s help. To solve the problem, she developed a novel theorem, applicable across all of physics, which relates conservation laws to continuous symmetries¿one of the most important

Philosophers and poets in times past tried to figure out why the stainless moon "smoothly polished, like a diamond" in Dante''s words, had stains. The agreed solution was that, like a mirror, it reflected the imperfect Earth. Today...
