Emmy Noether did not contribute a lot of value to the evolution of mathematics. Pretty much everything was already explored by the French, François Sturm, Évariste Galois, Joseph Liouville, Jacques Hadamard... Louis Cauchy introduced rigor to the lax system.

N101N, you really should tell us who you are and where you come from. I detect severe cultural bias here. 🙂

Emmy Noether, an insignificant mathematician? 😕

She practically founded Quantum Mechanics within the Standard Model.

Close friend of David Hilbert, who was not shabby himself. Most of our loudspeakering efforts are based on the Hilbert Transform. How simulators work. 🙂

I think you might be a Physics Hustler. Well, remember you can't hustle everyone. 😀

Her name did not appear anywhere in the context of the development of the Calculus of Variations, Algebraic Geometry, the Theory of Differential Equations of Infinite Order, the Concept of Function and Mathematical Analysis.

Don’t allow yourself to be misled by hustlers. Make your own judgments.
 
The whole of Portsmouth holding its head in its hands this morning.... 🙁



We are all either deeply hungover or still drunk from last night. 😱

At midnight bangers and rockets went off. Some distant exiled relative of Scotsman Galu decided to play "Scotland the Brave!" on the baggies. Which, TBH, is a better tune than "Play up Pompey!"

All terrific fun.

ANYHOO, I have been further investigating this strange anomaly in the Universe:



16 minutes turns out to be a 16 Nautical miles. Nautical mile - Wikipedia.

Should we care? I think so. It's a matter of life and death if you are on a ship on a dark and stormy night and want to avoid the rocks. 😀



BTW, my new theory of the Universe is coming on. I have decided to call the North Pole (0,-0). Progress. 😎

Aha! As I have always suspected, the ancients that built Stonehenge were into skittles
 
Ha! Ha! I'll add this post in case the context of your reply has been lost.

This giant skittle shaped analemma in the attachment appears over the Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis.

Unfortunately, I can't find an image of one over Stonehenge. 😉

Old System7 (Steve) has actually been to Stonehenge. 😀

Vastly overrated IMO. Just a bunch of old rocks. Dull as anything. 😕

My favourite place in the universe is the "Crystal Palace" Pub in Bath.

Not twenty metres from the old Roman Baths. But a splendid place to spend an afternoon.

I also visited Stonehenge in the days when you could actually walk among the stones, touch them and even sit on them.

You can only walk among the stones nowadays during special access visits which only take place outside public opening hours (i.e. dawn or dusk). Otherwise you cannot go beyond a rope fence bordering a footpath.

So little chance of communing with the ancients via the stones. 🙁

All those thousands of visitors were eroding the stones you know! 😱

P.S. I believe there is a public right of way footpath that can get you get close enough to see the stones well enough without paying for admission through the security gate.
 
It was five thousand years ago that the ancient Neolithic inhabitants of Orkney erected complex stone structures, including one of the largest roofed structures built in prehistoric northern Europe.

As well as the Ring of Brodgar, there is second ceremonial stone circle, the Stones of Stenness.

Closeby is Maes Howe, an enormous chambered tomb. Its entry passage is perfectly aligned to receive the rays of the setting sun on the eve of the winter solstice, illuminating its inner chamber on the shortest day of the year.

The people who built these things had big ideas!

P.S. There are 508 stone circles in Scotland alone!

I am quite the fan of winging it if you don't really know what is going on. Something might turn up. 😱

IMO, this was a serious attempt to build a Large Hadron Collider years before its time. But ancient 5,000-y-o Druids had no understanding of Electricity and Magnetism.

As a descendant of the Druids, considered disrespectable in Modern Parlance, because I come from Drewsteignton, Devon.

As a Physics theory, this one probably falls flat on its backside:

But something in it. 😀
 
Life is too short to visit every place in the Universe. But I think I have seen Zennor, at least from a distance!

Hovering over Penzance, Cornwall, I am pretty sure Zennor is in the Northern distance. 🙂
