I agree, this is an excellent episode. If it whets your appetite to know more about Emmy Noether, you might want to check out amzn.to/3YZZB4W

American Scientist: “Some of the most elegant science communication in the book unfolds as Phillips walks us through what symmetry means in Noether’s theorem.”

Instructive and fascinating article by Christopher Rackauckas, the main developer of the amazing #julialang package DifferentialEquations. The shadowing lemma is the most interesting thing I’ve learned about this week!

Emmy Noether laid the basis for the Standard Model of particle physics while working without pay, because she was a woman.
Yesterday’s NYT carries the obituary of the Mary Gaillard, who wielded the Standard Model, often working without pay, because she was a woman.

“I have come to think that physics is a never ending quest.”
Isaac Isidor Rabi discovered a method to measure the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei, research that would later be used for MRI and atomic clocks.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 1944.

I’ve only listened to the first part so far, but this is great.

Can machine learning truly predict chaotic systems? In this blog, Chris explains why it’s much more difficult than it looks—and how small errors can lead to big mistakes. A must-read for anyone working with #simulations or #AI. www.stochasticlifestyle.com/how-chaotic-...

Classical #physics is an active research area, is fundamental, and is still full of interesting and even controversial problems. Does your physics professor understand how airplanes fly? Good chance the answer is “no”.

I explain in lwn.net/Articles/102... why scientists in particular should not use Word (which I describe in that article as an “abomination”).

Many people (even physicists) are surprised to learn the the universe doesn’t conserve energy, as @neiltyson pointed out in a recent podcast.
Even most physicists who know this don’t know who first figured it out. Her story is here:
