Voilà.
1:33
Je tiens, je tiens à dire que je les ai tous vus et j'adore aussi.
1:37
Je recommande, je pense que c'est pour tous les niveaux et je recommande aussi à tous les mathématiciens, mathématiciennes d'aller les voir.
1:50
Moi, j'adore leur graphisme quoi.
1:53
C'est des génies.
1:53
Enfin moi [rire] je trouve ça absolument incroyable.
1:56
Et bon quand on voit les gens qui sont derrière, on n'est pas surpris à la fois mathématiquement, non mathématiquement, toute, toute cette interaction que ça ait mené à quelque chose d'aussi beau, mais c'est, c'est vraiment exceptionnel.

Et ça montre justement que là, y a un professionnalisme qui, qui s'installe dans la diffusion des mathématiques au plus grand nombre.

in a string of 25.

If you go to a string of 100, for instance, you would typically see seven heads or seven tails in a row.

So my atoms are here, and they're not sort of spread all over the universe at this moment in time.

Is the part of it that's not nice the fear of now not getting it? And everyone feeling sorry for you? What is the fear? What's the bad part of
5:18
it? For me, it was not knowing that was bad.
5:25
In some sense, I didn't care because, and in full honesty, it didn't change anything to my professional life, basically.
5:32
I mean, like the scientific part of it.
5:36
So I knew that, and I knew a few field medalists revolving around me, but it was more the opposite.
5:46
So my PhD advisor, my master advisor, in 2014, a colleague also got it, Martin Herrer.
5:54
I mean, so...
