I like the French accent, and I think I can grasp the meanings, pity we do not have the slides in pdf.

[@neurovibes]

The .html link is down for the lecture slides used by Prof. Villani
this is a functioning link that has the lectures slides in .pdf format

[@harihar5767]

the molecular chaos itself seem to imply that that system is not evolving through determsinistic newton laws instead of complex correlation s

link does not work

Wish i could understand more of what hes talking about. im unfortunately not educated enough in the subject, i think.
- sidenote though; HOLY crap thats a FRENCH accent.

Looks like a lecture from 1920.🤷
