We want to have-- Essentially, you can read the whole paper from beginning to the end.

Sergiu KlainermanGUEST
I mean, again, many papers, people don't really put the calculations, right.

Stephen MeyerGUEST
And that's the process of proving something, right? So you have the process of discovery, but then the process of justification.

Sergiu KlainermanGUEST
So mathematics, at the end of the day, it looks like a chain of logical sequences that the computer can also, I mean, once you have the chain, the computer can go very fast to it and maybe even check.

Sergiu KlainermanGUEST
So there are yet no computers that can check large, I mean, they can check small proofs, but not large.

Sergiu KlainermanGUEST
In any case, it's sort of a very good example, I think, that illustrates very well relations between math and physics.

Sergiu KlainermanGUEST
So the geometry was the first really theory of the physical world, right? I mean, it's what it describes.

And then lo and behold, it's absolutely crucial for doing quantum mechanics, which is our most fundamental physical theory, or one of them.
