Breaking the Walls between Economics, Physics and Geometry | Cédric Villani

How Optimal Allocation of Resources and Entropy Meet in the Non-Euclidean World, Falling Walls 2011.
Villani shows the link between the apparently unrelated theory of optimal transport and the concept of curvature, arising from non-Euclidean geometry, and playing a key role in Einstein's theory of general relativity. This is a story where physics, economics and geometry intertwine and lead to applications such as the improvement of efficiency in the transportation of goods.

I love this guy.. He takes me back to what academia would have been in the classical days..

[@hamzaelouakili2438]

Exactly!!!

I love you so much thank you so much for doing this. This talk was amazing and inspired me

Cédric Villani is awesome!

Very inspiring👏🏻

Looking forward to what math and physics resulted in -dS/dt in the lazy gas paper. It appears to imply self-assembly, i.e. life. Does energy enter or exit the system? Schrodinger's What is Life book delves into this as well.

Great lecture by Cedric. He typically wears a spider pin or the like on his coat, but there was not a sufficient close-up.for me to discern whether he had a spider or a microphone on his coat's left lapel.

[@siddhantritwick287]

There is a spider

Cool

I think is planck who gives the second formula of Bolzmann its like attributing wrongly e=hv to Einstein but its Planck formula!!!
