28 - How Emmy Noether Changed Physics Forever

Why This Universe?

CHAPTER

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.

People who might not have mentors looking out for their success or maybe even a lack of financial support.

Speaker 1

cost? It seems like a very sophisticated understanding of cell phones. It's all just radio
