Never, never underestimate the fine and delicate art of doing nothing, especially if you do it well: There can be beauty, and even a certain degree of elegance, in doing nothing! - j q t -
I would love to see some elaboration on that 15h/week bit (30:44). Anyone has any pointers to papers, videos etc? As for the talk, highly interesting, as always has been the case with the speaker.
jesusoliveira2 the 15hr week was taken from a paper by John Maynard Keynes, 1st Baron Keynes CB FBA, was a British economist whose ideas fundamentally changed the theory and practice of macroeconomics and the economic policies of governments. Wikipedia I hope this helps you look up his research further.

@@valor36az Every chapter goes roughly like this: Villani is having trouble with [some unexplained jargon]. He [talks to someone] [has a brilliant new idea] [lies awake all night] [drinks some tea] and comes up with a solution involving [more explained jargon]. He sends an email to his collaborator. This description, sometimes delivered in breathless prose!, takes up a page or two. We then get 4-5 pages of email documentation. The emails are between Villani and his collaborator, and after trying to make my way through a few of them I'm just skipping them, because it's all incomprehensible. Not only is this shop talk about some incredibly difficult mathematics, but the TeX used to describe equations is rendered in plain text, not equation text, so it can't even be read without effort (and I know TeX!).
@@glorymanheretosleep Well, that's how research really is! And I love Villani for delivering the real deal, and no popular BS which misrepresents what scientists do all the time.
Everytime I hear this man talking I realize I have done nothing with my life.
Lol perspective
It inspires me to do more
Change your perspective of weighing everything...
Good luck!
You never do nothing, it's impossible to do nothing.

You've done a lot, just nothing you appreciate or value.
How about now? Have you done something now?
A fascinating man. The third presentation of Mr. Villani I am watching in 2 days.
So glad that there's at least 1 person in the global population like Ced.
Wonderful wonderful wonderful lecture by an amazing mathematician!
Andrew Tawfeek Agreed, amazing mathematician and amazing person as well.
Indeed!
This guy is beyond a mathematician!
His English is excellent. I can understand almost every word he said. I wish other Field medal recipients can speak as well as him
I truly admire Prof. Villani.
incredible communicator easy to listen to thus easy to learn from almost a meditation wonderful
I left the yt on autoplay and accidentlty felt asleep.
This is what I have seen just after I woke up.

That was amazing. Great talk!
Villani walking all around the stage to get his introduction over with! 😆😆
Legend
NICE SCARF TIE AND THAT ARACHNID JUST ADDS 5 STAR TO THE WHOLE APPEARANCE.
19:45 tfw when you told everyone you proved it but you haven't proved it yet
i gave up reading "Birth of a Theorem" after like 10 pages.
but i still love him
Why didn’t you like it I was thinking of reading it myself

0:17 He said Cedric was born in 1933.
That makes him 85 years old.
Well, he keeps quite fit then.
It's 1973
Why does he wear spiders?
He likes spiders and has received lots of them as presents from places around the world where he made conferences. He likes also beetles (cufflinks)
Victorian Symbol for Wisdom might be an element too
James Lanigan Thompson he is Peter Parker
??why do l have spider on my avatar ??
In France, he's also known as the "lady gaga of the mathematics" because of his colourful outfits !
His voice is so soft. hahaha.
Born in 1933??
73
he is amazing, he is an absolute genius but I am disgusted by that spider attached to the dress
Okay.
is he married ??
Disappointed at the way he pronounces Uranus. This is supposed to be fun!
It's more near to Latin than English
so more near to the real root of the word.
