Continuous Symmetries & Emmy Noether's Theorem
Felix Bloch Professor of Theoretical Physics
2:02:13·2011·undergraduate level
Proves Noether's deep theorem directly from Lagrangian invariance: translation yields linear momentum, rotation yields angular momentum, and time-shift yields energy.
(October 24, 2011) Leonard Susskind discusses different particle transformations as well as how to represent and analyze them using tools like the LaGrangian.
This course is the beginning of a six course sequence that explores the theoretical foundations of modern physics. Topics in the series include classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, theories of relativity, electromagnetism, cosmology, and black holes.
