Literally how do you even understand its implications without having a PhD in maths?

The Grothendieck–Riemann–Roch (GRR) theorem has profound implications in several areas of mathematics, particularly algebraic geometry, topology, and complex analysis. Here are some of the key implications:

Bridge Between Geometry and Algebraic Topology: The GRR theorem connects algebraic and topological invariants of coherent sheaves on complex manifolds, enabling complex analytic and algebraic information (like sheaf cohomology) to be translated into topological data (like Chern classes and characteristic classes). This creates a pathway between algebraic geometry and topological K-theory, broadening the scope for deeper insights in both areas.

Foundation for Index Theory: The GRR theorem serves as a conceptual foundation for the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem, which calculates the index of elliptic operators on compact manifolds. By relating the Euler characteristic (a topological invariant) of sheaves with integrals of Chern classes, GRR provides tools to handle complex calculations in index theory and differential geometry.

Tool for Computing Intersection Numbers: GRR allows for the computation of intersection numbers and dimensions in a more straightforward manner through the use of Chern classes and K-theory. This has practical applications in enumerative geometry, where the aim is often to count the number of solutions to geometric problems.

Unified Framework for Riemann–Roch Type Theorems: The classical Riemann–Roch theorem is a specific case of the broader GRR framework. By generalizing Riemann–Roch to higher-dimensional varieties and more general morphisms, it gives a unified theory for computing Euler characteristics across different contexts, from curves to complex varieties.

These implications make the GRR theorem a central result in modern geometry and have led to significant advances in the study of moduli spaces, mirror symmetry, and string theory, where connections between geometry, physics, and topology are explored.

You may have heard of the study published in PNAS in 2020 concluding that Black newborns have higher survival rates when Black doctors attend to them.
https://www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1073/pnas.1913405117
It got a huge amount of coverage in the popular press. It was even cited by Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in her dissent last year on the court’s ruling against racial preferences in college admissions. The newborn research, Brown Jackson claimed, shows the benefits of diversity. “It saves lives,” she wrote.

The same journal just published a reanalysis of the data.
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2409264121
It turns out that the effect disappears once you take into account that Black doctors are less likely to see the higher-risk population of newborns that have low birth weight.

It’s like what someone once said about Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire: They’re both going through all the same moves, but Ginger Rogers is doing them backward and in high heels. A published finding that clashes with the political prejudices of reviewers and editors is a Ginger Rogers Finding. It had to be twice as good.

Everything is just a dream. I believe that there are infinite number of universes which have their own time passage and laws of physics. We are experiencing some of them trough dreams. Including this one universe. In every dream we have different ammount of power to change things around us. We just appear somewhere and live the experience. There are people who lived whole other lifes in their dream and when they woke up they fall into depression because they lost their loved ones in that dream.

>>Recently, for example, I’ve been looking into the causes of pain vocalizations—why we say “ow” or “ouch” when we’re hurt. It’s actually quite fascinating: our responses are automatic, and yet they vary across cultures. You might say “ay” in Spanish, but “jao” in Croatian or “aya” in Korean, because there is a level of societal variance to it. All these sounds share some kind of /a/ or /o/ vowel, but we end up getting so used to our culture-specific versions that our brains encode them as part of our instinctive reactions to things.
I say a variety of those, like "aah" "ou" "ay" or a muzzled "mmmmmmmhh" , and I suspect the majority of people do too. Never heard anyone simply say "ouch" every time because of their nationality lmao

if the amount of sides of a polygon goes to infinity, then the interior angle goes to 179.999...° = 180° , making it a flat line, or a circle.

We've never had operational cameras on the night side. Apollo missions landed in daylight and left before night fell. Soviet and Chinese have landed rovers, but they are solar powered and go into hibernation when night falls.

No one has really put any effort to night photography on the moon because the stars would essentially identical as they do from Earth or Earth orbit. There's no scientific value.
There are some photos of the stars from Apollo 15 when they were orbiting over the night side of the moon, but the main purpose was just to test the cameras in low-light conditions.

Except if you are at the top in one country there is no guarantee you will also be at the top in another one - thus the people who emigrate are never the best or the highest class. Also if you emigrate then there is no guarantee your spot back home won't be filled by somebody else.

That's not how regression to the mean actually works though. The regression happens when outliers in a population mate back within the general population. Hence it regresses back because the source genome is being redrawn from again and again.

The situation with immigration is different because you are taking outliers, isolating them into a new environment, to which they aren't drawing from the original source as much anymore. So if any "regression" does happen it will generally be to a higher IQ average (since that's among the traits being selected for in this situation) because the genome has been severely restricted (specifically the """randomness""" of the genome). In part due to no longer having broad access to the source population (which itself is more "random" in nature).

Fantastic. That means we must have all indians come to the US. Just imagine all the problems we could solve!

im stuck in a limbo where i know all the standard math taught in an engineering degree but i dont really feel like i know it well enough since i never cared much about it and just passed exams, but now i do care.
it's very similar to the tutorial hell for programming: books/videos/lectures are either too slow or too fast with no in between.
there's ton of resources for math out there but i don't have the time and ability to filter them and not waste my time.
i'm asking to the people that were in a situation similar to mine, what did you do?

that was literally what I was talking about
color is brains interpretation of signals sent by the retina
you could see color with zero waves entering your eyes, just stimulate optical nerve accordingly
if you modified someones retina so that red receptors got triggered by shorter blue wavelenght then he would see all blues as red
and all color perception is by definition 100% subjective
