      Agreed. She really doesn't seem like the type person who cared whether the general public hallowed her name. The fact that Einstein publicly proclaimed her genius, and later went out of his way to secure a professor position for her at one of the USA's finest universities was surely more than enough for her modest ego.

    I actually knew about Emmy before this video. I had a wonderful math teacher in middle school, Mrs. Tent, who was one of the only math teachers who made me enjoy math. She was brilliant and even wrote our textbook. She would give school wide lectures on prominent mathematicians and those who were also not well known. And we actually paid attention because we loved her so much. She wrote a book about Emmy and Leibniz who has also been covered on this channel. Mrs. Tent passed a few years ago and this video made me think of her and how much I enjoyed her classes. I also appreciate learning more about Emmy and glad to see her getting more recognition!

What makes gravity, ON BALANCE, a constant force is that it cannot be shielded (or blocked). Gravity is ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy (in and WITH TIME) consistent WITH what is invisible AND VISIBLE SPACE in fundamental equilibrium AND BALANCE. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky ON BALANCE. SO, a photon IS at the center of WHAT IS the Sun; as this would then CLEARLY be consistent with the requirement of time AND SPACE. (Consider what is invisible AND VISIBLE SPACE in fundamental equilibrium AND BALANCE.) Carefully consider what is THE EARTH/ground ON BALANCE. Consider what is a TWO dimensional surface OR SPACE ON BALANCE !! Consider what is perpetual motion, AND consider TIME (AND time dilation) ON BALANCE. Consider what is THE EYE ON BALANCE. Notice what is the associated black “space” AND the dome AS WELL. NOW, carefully consider WHAT IS THE SUN (ON BALANCE); as TIME is NECESSARILY (AND CLEARLY) possible/potential AND actual (ON/IN BALANCE). CLEARLY, gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites ON BALANCE; as the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky (ON BALANCE). Consider TIME (AND time dilation) ON BALANCE. E=mc2 is taken directly from F=ma. Indeed, the ultimate mathematical unification (AND UNDERSTANDING) of physics/physical experience combines, BALANCES, AND INCLUDES opposites; as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE); as this CLEARLY explains F=ma AND E=mc2.

      * but throughout most of history, farming and transportation has not been nearly as efficient as it is now. Thus most people needed to be farmers.

      Okay, let's get things straight: H.P. Lovecraft is not even in the same dimension as Noethe. Noethe helped out Einstein, has an entire theorem in her name, and basically discovered abstract algebra. H.P. Lovecraft failed to describe any of the characters of his own making. Noethe faced head-on sexism and racism at every turn of her life. H.P. Lovecraft spewed racism and sexism at every turn of his life. People look at Noethe's work and are amazed. People look at H.P. Lovecraft's work and wonder how to make it more interesting and entertaining. The scientific community would be less without Noethe. The literary community would be unchanged without H.P. Lovecraft: Cthulu is nothing more than a novelty to spruce up otherwise uninteresting sci-fi movies; A Color Out of Space is just as vague as its villain; Re-Animator is just a pulpy take on Frankenstein.

    Dear Simon Whistler, what a beautiful love letter to Emmy Noether’s achievement. I was told about her foundational work on all of the conservation laws that we are taught in secondary school only in University. I immediately grasped the enormity of her achievement, was indignant about her obscurity, but got reassured by my professor about her position amongst theoretical physicists. That was 1979. That professor continued to get the 1999 Nobel prize for mathematically proving the unification of Electromagnetic and Weak force, work he had finished as his doctoral thesis in 1970. His name is Gerard ‘t Hooft. I love the idea of one of your audience to make this story into a scenario for a movie. I am certain you will get funded in Hollywood. Your zest in telling this story is quite compelling.

    I think one of the reasons I adore this Channel and all of Simon's channel so much is that it brings history that has been pushed to the wayside up to the forefront. I get to learn about so many places and people that were not taught to me in school. Because of this, my nine-year-old daughter gets to have history the way it should have been in the first place. The good, the bad and the ugly just like the Horrible Histories that we like to watch together as well.

    She isn't exactly forgotten in comparison to any other mathematician, it's just that no one really cares/knows about the famous mathematicians of the 20th century. She is very well known and very highly regarded in the math community. She has tons of things named after her that we learnt in 3rd/4th year algebra courses. Noetherian rings, and topologies. Her math is very elegant.

    If you want another subject of a great scientist virtually unknown to the non-scientific public, do a video on Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, who was the guy who finally pulled together all that was known of electricity and magnetism into one whole coherent subject, summarized in 4 equations, "Maxwell's equations"

    • @siobhangraham7280
      @siobhangraham7280 Před 2 lety

      It's fascinating how Maxwell found the connection between Ampere's Law, Coulomb's law, Gauss' Law, and was able to correct Ampere's Law in a very significant way in the process.
      I would love to hear a more in-depth exploration of the formulation of the Maxwell Equations!

I would consider this one of humanity's greatest flaws

    Thank you for this excellent summary! Emmy Noether surely deserves a lot more than is currently given her. Maybe a layman audience explanation of her theorem and all its consequences would help? Of course, it is quite advanced and fairly abstract. But one cannot say that as much effort has been put into popularising her work as has been put into Relativity or even quantum mechanics, which are not usually regarded as easy.
