The Importance of Noether's Theorem in Particle Physics

Noether's story is an important peak into what it really takes for someone from a marginalized identity to make it in a field that doesn't ordinarily accept them. It took being able to survive for years without pay and the help of male allies to help her get where she did. There are lots of ways that physics is still gate kept from brilliant people who could potentially make huge impacts if they were given the tools to. And think about the people today who are facing marginalization in the field of physics. Think of people of color, women, women of color. People who might not have mentors looking out for their success or maybe even a lack of financial support.
