====== Angular Momentum ====== Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party. * [[https://www.wired.com/story/what-is-angular-momentum/|What is angular momentum anyway]] by WIRED magazine The motto in this section is: //the higher the level of abstraction, the better//. Angular momentum is together with energy and ordinary momentum one of the basic fundamentally conserved quantities in physics. Angular momentum arises as a conserved quantity in every system which is rotational symmetric. This follows from [[theorems:noethers_theorems|Noether's theorem]]. -->Is Angular Momentum truly fundamental?# see https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/822/is-angular-momentum-truly-fundamental <--
