Hey Lex! It would be difficult to do, but I would recommend you to invite Cedric Villani. He is a Fields medalist and a well knowned mathmatician. He is really interesting and was on Numberphile channel a couple of times.

[@markcarey67]

He has a great Royal Institution lecture on John Nash's theorems in geometry

Cedric Villani would be great, he is such an interesting character.

[@andrewb777]

So good! Thank you for always bringing great guests on to show .

[@markcarey67]

The unique factorization of positive integers into primes is also the reason why all musical tuning systems are approximate if they involve more than one key. A cycle of fifths (3/2^n) never meets up quite with a cycle of octaves (2^n) or a cycle of thirds (5/4^n).

[@nickfeiler375]

Keep up the good work. You seem to get more comfortable as a interviewer/host. Love to see that!

[@alientube1984]

Why am I all of a sudden interested in prime numbers first time in 40 years!

[@HigherPlanes]

Same here. Probably because we spend too much time on youtube and get exposed to things we may otherwise not be exposed to.

[@jonc6157]

Great Vid !

[@aadilansari5997]

The conversation was interrupted, complex numbers do not have unique factorisation. A set of even numbers do not have unique factorisation.

[@gerrywilliams1151]

Are you talking about distance... or similarity ?

[@georgeice4389]

HI LEX, Like to say again: You Tube Will Rhee and choose the video which mentions Fermat . Afterwards think back to what your guests mathematicians had to say about FLT. HAVE FUN!

[@Srsbzns_5150]

Let's skip all that and just tell us what your thinking?

@@Srsbzns_5150 LEX WILL SEE HOW NAIVE ARE HIS MATHEMATICIAN GUESTS WHEN THEY IMPLY HOW HARDTHE FLT PROBLEM WAS TO SOLVE AND HOW GULLIBLE THEY ARE BEILIVING IN THAT MYTH.

I can pronounce the Formula for the proof of Fermath's Great Theorem: 1 - Fermath's great theorem NEVER! and nobody! NOT! HAS BEEN PROVEN !!! 2 - proven! THE ONLY POSSIBLE proof of Fermat's theorem 3 - Fermath's great theorem is proved universally-proven for all numbers 4 - Fermath's great theorem is proven in the requirements of himself! Fermata 1637 y. 5 - Fermath's great theorem proved in 2 pages of a notebook !!!!!!!!

I think you've hit your head. Go see a doctor!

[@TheEmergingPattern]

Interesting, trying to really understand it is futile and only for the genious that don't have real life problems. I quit. Better to ask what one can do additionally by looking at something from the p-adic perspective
