I thought he was trying to figure out Navier-Stokes existence. Maybe he failed and it broke him
>>
he can't be THAT smart if he turned down a free $1,000,000. no amount of retarded ascetic principles could justify that
>>
>>16971694
If the millenium problems were invented to commemorate the year 2000, why isn't the prize money 2 million instead of 1 million? idgi
>>
>>16971694
what is lying chinks and the refusal to call them out by the mathematical community for 500, please
>>
>>16971694
>he was 27 in that pic
jesus. back then I was still a twink and got carded everywhere
>>
>>16971773
To be honest, it is kind of based.
>>
>>16971773
The only reason that you would want to take the money is because thats what society insists you do. Clearly this has no influence on Grigori, he is his own person. You however, will never be free my friend.
>>
I have no money and have rich people stealing as much as they can, to the point they're removing products when i walk towards stores and charging me wrong to see if I don't notice. So being a millionaire nerds in Russia would probably be quite tough.
>>
>>16971694
How many times are you going to post this guy? If you're so inspired by his story go fuck off and do drop from society like he did.
>>
>poincare conjecture
>any shape that doesnt have a hole in it can be calculated as a sphere

This is the shit that keeps mathematicians awake?
>>
>>16971694
He's the bulwark of a revolution against mathematicians. He quit because he hated how the mathematicians erroneously assigned credit while also trying to discredit him. This is beyond based. We need a word for someone like this.
>>
>>16971694
>invents award and awards it to himself
>calls it the nobel of mathematics
Bros why is he like this
>>
>>16971775
Millenium = Million Dollars
>>
>>16972402
millenium means thousand btw
>>
>>16972406
It's a thousand thousand
>>
>>16971773
you are a literal NPC
>>
>>16972299
Do you even know what poincare contributes to
>>
>>16971773
He is being paid by the russian government and has enough money to play with
They can't afford to lose him to the americans, he might even get killed off if he did
>>
>>16972836
Is it related to poindexters
>>
>>16972306
Reminds me of a blog I read some time ago by a guy who was getting shit from his colleagues and reviewers for focusing on counterexamples to niche conjectures in his specialty.
Apparently his disproving a couple of these meant he was a brainlet with no talent to speak of because "affirmative proof was much smarter and more beautiful" - as if there was the option to pick whether something became true or false depending on the researcher's whims.
Absolute sophists. I'm still fucking seething on his behalf.
>>
>>16971822
This.
Taking the money means you did it for the money.
Fuck the people with all that money just wanting you to do it for them.
Probably came with strings like fucking a kid.
>>
>>16972936
sounds like a bullshit victim narrative with little basis in truth.
>>
>>16972936
>>16972977
You need to affirm their validity as women or they get really mad.
>>
>>16971694
post creative depression
We are all undeserving of his ingenuity
>>
>>16971694
What MP falls next? and will it be with AI?
>>
>>16972987
AI is a given by now. Even if the person will claim that they didn't use AI, nobody will believe them.
