“Do you mean good as in ethical or good as in capable, Dairy?”
― Patrick Weekes, The Palace Job

“Every day you have choices. You can do things that wound your soul, like being dominated by the work ethic or compulsively seeking more money and possessions, or you can be around people who give you pleasure and do things that satisfy a desire deep inside you. Make this soul care a way of life, and you may discover what the Greeks called eudaimonia—a good spirit, or, in the deepest sense, happiness.”
― Thomas Moore, Care of the Soul: Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life

“Are astronauts still relevant in your time?
We have found ingenting you can sell. We have found nothing you can put to practical use. We have found no worlds that could be easily or ethically settled, were that the end desired. We have satisfi

Grigory Perelman (right) says, "If the proof is correct, then no other recognition is needed." Shing-Tung Yau isn’t so sure.Pierre Le-Tan

On the evening of June 20th, several hundred physicists, including a Nobel laureate, assembled in an auditorium at the Friendship Hotel in Beijing for a lecture by the Chinese mathematician Shing-Tung Yau. In the late nineteen-seventies, when Yau was in his twenties, he had made a series of breakthroughs that helped launch the string-theory revolution in physics and earned him, in addition to a Fields Medal—the most coveted award in mathematics—a reputation in both disciplines as a thinker of unrivalled technical power.

Yau had since become a professor of mathematics at Harvard and the director of mathematics institutes in Beijing and Hong Kong, dividing his time between the United States and China. His lecture at the Friendship Hotel was part of an international conference on string theory, which he had organized with the support

A man solves one of the most difficult maths problems, refuses Rs 8.5 crore award and then changes his career

Grigori Perelman, a Russian mathematician renowned for his groundbreaking work, solved a mathematical mystery that had puzzled experts for over a century. In 1904, French mathematician Henri Poincaréproposed a problem, later known as Poincaré's conjecture. This complex theorem delves into the intricate structure of three-dimensional spaces, hypothesizing that any such space where every loop can be tightened to a single point must inherently be a three-dimensional sphere. Despite decades of effort, it remained unsolved until Perelman published his solution in 2002.

Poincaré's conjecture is rooted in the mathematical field of topology, which explores the properties of shapes and spaces that remain unchanged under continuous deformations. While the problem's significance was well-recognized, its complexity left even top mathematicians stumped for nearly a century
