In 1915, Emmy Noether was invited by David Hilbert and Albert Einstein to the University of Gottingen to solve a problem they were having with their general theory of relativity. While solving their problem, she discovered something deeply fundamental about the universe. I wanted to take some time during Women's History Month to honor her.
