Question: Does the principle of conservation of angular momentum according to Noether hold true, while the linear principle does not?
You know that Noether's Theorem explains that for every conservation law there is an associated symmetry, and that the principle of conservation of linear momentum doesn't hold because translational symmetry breaks down over long distances. But I've never heard this said about angular momentum. Can you tell me if it holds true or not? If it does, why is it that many people imagine rotation as a form of combined linear momentum? I asked the AI, and it can't answer because it doesn't like to contradict classical physics.
