    I love when non-native English speakers speak English more than well enough to be understood, but don't speak in quite the same way as native speakers. They say things in the most poetic and beautifully succinct ways.

Well I spotted Dr. Villani in the the crowd. Of course I emailed the video to him for confirmation. He confirmed and laughed because I recognized him.

    Very impressive description of how some mathematicians prove big theorems. Break the problem into smaller problems and seek the help of experts in different fields. Obviously that necessitates knowing a network of experts. If all mathematicians worked that way, there would be even more impressive results than there are. This is something every young mathematician should be told early on.

    One thing I would point out is that there *are*, after a fashion, "particles" of temperature, namely phonons. The phononic field even serves as a good model of the higher-order fields to the degree that you can create phononic singularities that precisely model the predicted behaviour of gravitic singularities.

I also loved that Nash did not like the movie since it got so many things wrong, but in a way math is like magic, mysterious and wonderful, as if peering through the mind of god or being able to communicate with the creator, yet at the same time being in awe and wonder as to how it is done.

    Good point about facing Mecca or any locale; one cannot simply use a straight line connecting one's current locarion with Mecca by using a flat map (usually a Mercator map), rather one must use the map's coordinate system of longitude and latitude to determine the true direction. Yet the length of the line pointing from one's current location to Mecca, even when Earth's coordinate system is duely implemented, may not represent the shortest distance to Mecca since the very opposite direction, a 180 degree turn, may accurately connect one's locale to Mecca along the shortest distance in the right direction, the direction similarly corrected for longitude and latitude coordinates.
    Calgary and Toronto (Canada) are almost equidistant to London England, but you'd be tempted to think that Calgary would be a couple thousand kilometers more distant while looking at the two Canadian cities in relation to London using a Mercator map, if not considering Earth's coordinates that suitably adjusts for the planet's sphericity. Similarly, the true shortest straight line distance between certain locations on Antarctic with Mecca will require the navigator plotting this to draw a line that actually runs off the side of a Mercator map to reappear on the other side of the map.

    Cédric Villani is brilliant. He looks like someone who loves adventures. In 18xx or 17xx he would be someone like DaVinci, Edison or some other great inventor, maybe on a ship on the ocean searching for something that has never been found by anyone. A very very intelligent person. Btw, during my research on game theory for so many years I had the vision/idea (because of your gemetry stuff) about a multidimensional cube with payoff-tables, changing its sides based on changing payoff scenarios. A fast rotating cube, always changing its side always searching for the best fitting strategy. Nash has always something to do with geometry I really don't know why his work is somewhat inspiring.

    On contemplating your words, I thought. It's true my prior reference to transcendental numbers relies upon the smoothness or crooked edginess of their expansion. What is helpful is to study and analyze the Complete Mathematical Works of George Saliba. Also helpful is to study the Foundations of Geometry as understood by the Writings of Islam Abdou Abdou of Egypt. I encourage you in this.

He seems to have a nice since of humor, is earnest & engaging, & is passionate about math (always a good thing!) I had no problem understanding his French accent - it was quite pleasant, in fact. I'm not bothered by showing equations on the screen - apparently unlike most people [I don't REALLY believe that it's "death" to show equations in a book or at a talk, anyway.] So, I very much enjoyed his talk, and would like to know more about John Nash. I would like to see more talks by Mssr. Villani. tavi.

    I didn't know he had died so recently. Also didn't know it was in a car crash.
    Kind of wish that film about him had been made after his death. For the ending's sake. Like how many autobiographic films end like that?

      morgengabe1 we had a dear friend, also mathematician, who knew Dr Nash well. when asked about the film he replied, "Who was that about?" He had seen it; but he felt it was almost entirely original fiction.

      It seems odd but it's actually a very natural generalization. You can get an interesting book in the subject from Dover: store.doverpublications.com/0486450015.html

    Embeded spaces, apart from its mathematical significance, can also be postulated in physics as the parallel spaces in 4D space-time whose isotrophy is transfigurated by the gravitational or magnetic fields.
