Story of a Genius: Poincare's conjecture, solved thanks to Jesus
"I know how to govern the universe. Why run after a million dollars. " The statement by Grigori Perelman, Russian genius who has amazed the world after it has solved one of the toughest math problems and refused to award a million dollars.
Shocking statements made in a recent interview does not stop there. Russian brilliant 44-year-old said he has solved the problem of mathematics, Poincaré's conjecture that, while trying to understand how Jesus managed to walk on water.
"Do you remember the biblical legend about Jesus walking on water. I had to calculate the speed with which he went to not fall into the water. As legend still exists, does not mean that I cheated, " said the mathematician.
He went on and admitted that he trained the brain over time and that there "are no problems that can not be resolved, but intractable problem. "
"If we can train your arms and legs, why do not we can train the brain", he added.
Russian refused last year one million dollar prize awarded by the Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) in the U.S. to resolve one "of the seven millennium problems. "
"I'm not interested in money or fame. I do not want to be exposed as an animal at the zoo.'m not a hero of mathematics. Nor is a man of success, so I do not want to be in the spotlight. I need nothing. I have everything I need, "said Grigory Perelman then.
And apparently not changed his mind even till today. It prefers to live isolated in a modest apartment in St. Petersburg with his mother.
This statement Poincare's conjecture: If in a closed three-dimensional space any closed arc can shrink to a point, this space is topologically equivalent in terms of a three-dimensional sphere.
P.S. 1 million dollars $ $ $ $ $ $ $
