SUMMARY

Caltech recently hosted a seminar celebrating Richard Feynman's 100th birthday, featuring talks from his sister and daughter. The event highlighted the coincidental timing of Feynman's birth in the same year that Emmy Noether published her renowned theorems. This connection was noted as a significant symmetry, emphasizing the interplay between Feynman's contributions to physics and Noether's foundational work in mathematics. The discussions included playlists that further explore these themes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Richard Feynman's contributions to physics
  • Familiarity with Emmy Noether's theorems and their significance
  • Knowledge of seminar formats and academic discussions

Hmm, Feynman was born in the year Noether published her famous theorem(s). Although uninteresting then, it makes a funny coincidence a hundred years later when we celebrate both anniversaries.

That's no coincidence! That's a conservation law and there must be a symmetry in there somewhere. ;-)
