Great mathematician. Every time I visit St.Petersburg and the Cupchino, district where he lives,it really strikes me that such a big genious walks the same streets as I do. Воистину великий человек Григорий Яковлевич Перельман.

Him is the best, he ensipires all....hope we all meet some day, the smart men on planet.

[@ramanathannv6426]

The greatest human ever walking on this planet!!!!!A SAINT A guru a sanyasi who searched the truth for nothing but to unveil the truth to the humanity. An unsung hero. Some wretched minds derailed a great mind like Greesha from his journey to many other stations of the most beautiful branch of knowledge, MATHEMATICS.

[@barneyronnie]

Perelman readily admitted that Hamilton's development of Ricci Flow was instrumental in his proof of the Poincare Conjecture in 3d.

[@calicoesblue4703]

Yep. Facts. Which is why he wanted to split the prize Money.

[@ChickenMcThiccken]

how do people just "come up with this crap"? i mean do you see numbers in the sky?? LOL because i dont LMFAO

[@calicoesblue4703]

Grigori Perelman is a Genius.

[@ChickenMcThiccken]

many are. what if there are some who know how to solve the remaining proofs; but don't want to out of sheer disgust?

[@alikaperdue]

@2:21 - you should not say what Grigori feels or thinks. If Grigori thinks or feels something, he will say it. Until then, he is his own man. The rest is silly conjectures. I read he didn't say anything about proving the conjecture with this and he left it to others to see what was or was not done by him. I respect his meekness and think he should be left to what helps him produce what he produces and that's it. This video is a testament to exactly what Perelman does not want and so I feel it is disrespectful. Perelman could be spoken about without so many gratuitous photos. If he wants to wait for history to celebrate his image, then I think we should honor that. Because I like Perelman too and I listened to what he said.

He had Asperger syndrome and like many with this condition, feels awkward with fame and adulation. They should have quietly given him the money and medal without any pomp and 'fuss' as he would have called it and he could have continued his contributions to mathematical knowledge. Poor people lead a very tough life in that part of the world.

2:26 the aspect of fields of study not taking new ideas into consideration likely plagues nearly every field of study. historians don't want their conventional narratives challenged. doctors often don't want to try new treatments (for instance people were developing immunotherapies for cancer as early as the 1920's, but it has only recently began to be take seriously), archeologists clung to the clovis first dogma for decades despite it being demonstrably false and suppressed research that would challenged it (as well as continuing to reject the idea of an ice age civilization to this day), the economics profession still largely clings to pseudo-intellectual keynesianism, etc. so this doesn't surprise me. hopefully the internet will allow us to develop knowledge in an open transparent and peer to peer fashion, and we can disregard the hindrance of instructional academia

This is not sad or any other description 'we' can think of. The human mind may express itself in any way it is most comfortable with. not just math. the mind of such an expressive person is not like ours, it may not seek any material satisfaction, nor any fading celebratory recognition. If math is your life, your dreams, your nightmares all else bar stupid self created destitution is not really important, why interrupt your 'dream' for the sake of others you barely know.

I know he regrets it, a million dollars is symbolic in comparison to what he solved. Obviously what he discovered and solved is priceless and immortal , but what is not immortal is human health and aging. Mathematicians, especially in Russia are underpaid.

[@markusantonious8192]

The adulation of Perelman as some sort of righteous mystic is misplaced....His various refusals have al the earmarks of fanaticism...at the least, neuroticism. He could have, just as a 'for instance', accepted the money...and given it away to those who did need it. He could have accepted the awards with a simple, 'Thank you'...and left it at that. Apparently, his 'genius' didn't see far enough to foresee that his refusals would involve him in another sort of fame...and which was inevitable. It all reminds me of a line from 'Lord Jim': 'You have too much pride in your humility'.

[@selfdescedgelord7699]

[@reimannx33]

@SelfDescEdgelord Stop trying to misdirect from the issue at hand ! The issue is about perelman putting his ego and making a political statement and not taking the opportunity to help wider society when it fell on his lap. He could have achieved the latter even catering to the former. It says more about him, an almost 50 year old parasite, living off his elderly mom's government allowance all this time! Shameful.

[@JohnDoe-my5ip]

He could’ve split the prize with Hamilton too… sadly there’s a thin line between madness and brilliance and it seems he’s tipped over. Like Gödel and Nash and so many others. Too many tragic great mathematicians…

[@reimannx33]

@JohnDoe Nash and godel had legimate mental disease diagnosed by the medical community and underwent treatment. Nash and godel even taught through all their trials, and gave back to generations of students. They never smooched off their elderly parents' goverment assistance being a redundant protoplasm !! However, perelman is sane enough to smooch off his elderly mothers' government assistance, go to supermarkets, go for walks in the park all the while bumming off his elderly mom. Apparently, he is sane enough for a 50 year old, healthy individual, to live like a bum, off tax payers' money meant for his elderly mother. Oh No, he is not crazy, but a healthy, selfish, bum smooching off his elderly mom and at tax payors' expense!! Shameless leech. Give him a broom/mop, and get his lazy arse to work for food. Brilliance in a narrow area does not excuse a pathetic charecter!!
