In this video I will prove noether's theorem and use it to derive equation 2.18 and 2.19 from peskin and schroeder's QFT book. We will find the conserved charges associated to the Klein-Gordon field under spacetime translation, which will turn out to be the energy and momentum of the field!

My name is Nick Heumann, I am a recently graduated physicist. I love to teach physics, so I decided to give YouTube a try. English is not my first language, but I hope that you can understand me well enough regardless.
