I just watched the BBC clip on Emmy Noether :) Absolutely astonished and recommend it to anybody in mathstodon.xyz. I knew she was famous and intelligent; I never knew how extensive and foundational her other work was; "modern algebra", topology, gauge theory, ....
From the broadcast, I would put her up with the heroes of mathematics; Euler, Gauss, ..
I know I am smart but I also know that there are people who are _really_ really smart, and it's clear that Noether was one of them.
Before I watched it this morning, it occurred to me "what would the world be like if Godel and Noether had married" (or worked together); I found it beyond even my SciFi fueled imagination :)
