I find on a website as ours, we shouldn't have forgotten this:
On January, 25th it has been 100 years, a complete century, since Emmy Noether published her paper "Invarianten bestimmter Differentialausdrücke" (Invariants of Certain Differential Expressions, Göttingen 1918). It is still the basic concept of so many physical models, from classical mechanics to the standard model of particle physics. Funnily enough that I recently came upon an article, in which a physicist defended his opinion, that we need a new physics without symmetries. As I couldn't imagine how this would look like, especially because of Emmy Noether's theorems, I didn't give it much attention and can't remember source and name. Maybe someone else has read it and remembers, so that we can have a discussion about it.
The paper(s):

The thread which reminded me:
