Noether’s Theorem: Symmetry→Conservation Law.

Symmetries of the action imply conserved quantities per Noether's theorem.

A path q(t) is shifted by δq = φ but smoothed in transition layers τ wide at t0 and t1, where Δq̇ ≈ φ/τ. Action changes there approximate ΔS ≈ (∂L/∂q̇) Δq̇ τ ≈ −(∂L/∂q̇ φ)(t1) and ≈ +(∂L/∂q̇ φ)(t0).
Symmetry sets total ΔS = 0, hence (∂L/∂q̇ φ) is conserved from t0 to t1.

Momentum conservation's derivation from space translation symmetry and energy conservation from time translation symmetry in mechanics and physics is done by it.
