On the conservation of energy: Noether's theorem revisited

This paper studies the dynamics and conservation of energy. It evaluates the validity of Noether's theorem as a formal argument supporting the law of conservation of energy in physical systems. The analysis examines the role of nonconvexity in energy dynamics. The paper argues that nonconvexity...
