A mathematician solved a problem that stood open for over 100 years, then explained it in an Italian lecture hall to a few dozen people. This is Hong Wang, professor at NYU's Courant Institute and at IHES in Paris, delivering the Colloquium Patavinum on Kakeya sets in 3 dimensions.... The question is deceptively small: take a needle of length 1 and rotate it to point in every possible direction. How little space can the set of positions occupy. The conjecture says the answer must fill full dimension. Wang proved it in 3 dimensions. The Salem Prize followed in 2025, the Sadosky Prize in 2026, and an invitation to speak at the International Congress of Mathematicians. Watch how she frames the general statement about unions of tubes. The needle problem falls out as a corollary of something larger. A researcher I know rewatched the setup twice and said it was the clearest account of the result he had found anywhere. Free on YouTube from an Italian mathematics department. The problem was posed in 1917. She closed it, then took questions.show more

Fields Medalist Wang Hong explains the century-old Kakeya problem: More than 100 years ago, Sōichi Kakeya asked: If an infinitely thin needle is rotated 180 degrees, how small can the area it sweeps out be? A. S. Besicovitch later showed that, with a carefully designed motion, the area can be made arbitrarily small. The question then evolved: What is the smallest possible dimension of a set containing a unit line segment in every direction? Mathematicians believe such a set must still have the largest possible dimension. The Kakeya conjecture is deeply connected to Fourier analysis, a field with important applications in medicine, engineering, communications and information science.

When Hong Wang won the Fields Medal, everyone talked about the honor: her age, her journey, the history she had made. But the most interesting question was barely discussed: What did she actually solve? It begins with a needle. Turn it until it has pointed in every possible direction. How little space can that movement occupy? Almost none, strangely. And yet, that tiny set may still carry the full complexity of three-dimensional space. This is the Kakeya conjecture. It sounds like a puzzle, but it resisted mathematicians for more than a century and sits at the heart of how mathematics understands waves and their concentration—the same world of ideas behind MRI reconstruction, image compression, sound and quantum physics. In 2025, Hong Wang and Joshua Zahl finally solved the three-dimensional case. This video starts with that simple needle and slowly reveals the mathematics behind the medal. We celebrated the person. This is a chance to understand the work.

A mathematician who won the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, and the Wolf Prize spends an hour on the equals sign. This is Pierre Deligne at the Institute for Advanced Study, September 2018, speaking at the memorial conference for Vladimir Voevodsky. The title is a question: what do we mean by equal. Deligne proved the last of the Weil conjectures. He holds every major honour mathematics gives. He chose to talk about the symbol every schoolchild learns first. The problem is real. Two objects can be the same in a way that carries information about how they are the same, and set theory throws that information away. Voevodsky spent his last years rebuilding foundations around exactly this. Watch the board. Set theory's definition of equality on one line, homotopy groups underneath, and the gap between them opening as he writes. A research engineer I know rewatched the setup twice and said type systems stopped feeling like an implementation detail. Free on YouTube from the Institute for Advanced Study, chalk only. Equality looked settled for 2,000 years. It was a placeholder.

JOE ROGAN: GOOGLE’S AI SOLVED AN IMPOSSIBLE EQUATION IN MINUTES Joe said Google’s AI achieved a staggering breakthrough by solving a problem that would take the world’s supercomputers billions of years. He said the calculation was so complex that even turning every atom in the universe into a computer wouldn’t have done it in time: “I believe it’s the Google one. They solved an equation that would take the world’s supercomputers, I think it was 2.6 billion years to solve, and it solved it in a matter of minutes. The only way for it to solve this problem, Marc Andreessen said it on my podcast, the equation is so difficult that if you took every atom in the universe and converted it to a supercomputer, the universe would die of heat death before it would solve this equation. And it solved it in minutes.” Source: Joe Rogan Jesse Michels

Fields Medallist Jacob Tsimerman, who works at OpenAI, says mathematicians are underplaying that AI solved a Millennium Prize problem. Clay says Navier–Stokes has apparently been settled, but its prize review is unfinished. "I do think the top line is getting buried a little bit, in my opinion. I think AI solved the Millennium Problem, and I don't think it's had the kind of effect of at least informing people of capabilities that it's meant to have had." "There is a kind of motivated reasoning involved ... right up until the point where it literally will answer every question that you give it that a mathematician thinks is in reach, or at least within reach in a few years, people are going to be skeptical of capabilities, and I think that's harmful." - Jacob Tsimerman, 2026 Fields Medallist (University of Toronto and OpenAI), at the Heidelberg Laureate Forum

Richard Feynman took live questions from a random Auckland audience in 1979 and answered the ones physicists still argue about in 2026. The camera kept rolling. Almost nobody watches it. This is the final lecture of the series, the one where the script ends. A Nobel laureate standing at a microphone, fielding whatever the room throws at him about the deepest open problems in physics. He won the 1965 Nobel Prize for the theory behind every answer he gives here. This is him off-book, no prepared blackboard, thinking out loud in front of ordinary people. Watch how he handles the questions he can't answer. He says so, flat out, then explains exactly where knowledge stops and guessing begins. No hedging. No performance. A quant researcher I know rewatched it twice and sent 1 timestamp to his entire team with the message: this is how you say I don't know. 47 years on YouTube. Fewer views than a mousepad review. Admitting ignorance was his edge. It still works.

Richard Feynman stood at a Cornell blackboard in 1964 and explained the problem every AI lab is fighting in 2026. The BBC filmed it. Almost nobody watches it. The lecture is about why nature only answers in mathematics. Every team forcing language models to reason is hitting the wall he mapped 62 years ago. He was 46. The Nobel Prize came 11 months later. The footage survived on film reels and now sits free on YouTube with fewer views than a keyboard unboxing. Watch the blackboard section near the middle. He takes 1 of Kepler's laws and rebuilds it from nothing, with notation a 12-year-old can follow. No slides. No jargon. 1 piece of chalk. An ML engineer I know paused it 4 times and made his whole team watch it before standup. You're 62 years late. The lecture is still free.

The Millennium Prize Problems are seven well-known complex mathematical problems selected by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. The Clay Institute has pledged a US $1 million prize for the first correct solution to each problem. The Clay Mathematics Institute officially designated the title Millennium Problem for the seven unsolved mathematical problems, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, Hodge conjecture, Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness, P versus NP problem, Riemann hypothesis, Yang–Mills existence and mass gap, and the Poincaré conjecture at the Millennium Meeting held on May 24, 2000. Thus, on the official website of the Clay Mathematics Institute, these seven problems are officially called the Millennium Problems. To date, the only Millennium Prize problem to have been solved is the Poincaré conjecture. The Clay Institute awarded the monetary prize to Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman in 2010. However, he declined the award as it was not also offered to Richard S. Hamilton, upon whose work Perelman built.

Andrew Wiles worked on Fermat's Last Theorem alone in his attic for 7 years and told nobody except his wife. The problem was 358 years old. Fermat scribbled in a margin in 1637 that he had a proof and no room to write it, and every mathematician since had failed. Wiles saw the statement in a library book at 10 years old. He never let it go. He was a Princeton professor when he started in 1986. He stopped publishing new work and released old results in pieces to hide the silence. He announced it in Cambridge in June 1993, over 3 lectures, revealing the target only at the end. Newspapers ran it worldwide. Then a referee found a gap. One step in the proof did not hold, and the error was fundamental. He spent 14 months trying to close it in public view, with the whole field watching. He was ready to quit. The fix arrived in September 1994. He has said he stared at it in disbelief for 20 minutes. The BBC filmed him describing that moment. He gets a few words out, then turns away from the camera in tears. He kept the greatest result of the century secret so nobody could take it.

A Fields Medalist walked into a UCLA hall and explained prime numbers to people with no mathematics background. Almost nobody watches it. Terence Tao won the Fields Medal, mathematics' highest honour, then a MacArthur Fellowship less than a month later. He was UCLA's first professor to take the Fields. The talk is structure and randomness in the primes. Numbers that look scattered at every scale, yet obey rules strict enough to build cryptography on. That tension is the same one running through every model trained in 2026. Randomness with structure underneath, and the whole question of where one stops and the other starts. Watch how he pitches it. General audience, no prerequisites, one of the strongest living mathematicians choosing clarity over display. A cryptography engineer I know rewatched the middle section twice and said the primes stopped looking arbitrary. Free on YouTube from UCLA, 17 years online. The hardest minds explain most simply. The pattern never changes.

This is Peter Scholze at Bielefeld University, November 2025, opening lecture of a new public series called Ars Mathematica. Scholze became a full professor at 24 and won the Fields Medal at 30. His work on perfectoid spaces reorganized entire areas of arithmetic geometry inside a decade. Condensed mathematics is his attempt to fix something deeper: the way analysis and algebra refuse to sit together properly. He is proposing new foundations for how mathematical objects carry topology. Watch how he pitches it to a general audience. No prerequisites assumed, no dilution, a working mathematician showing why abstraction opens rooms you could not otherwise enter. A researcher I know rewatched the middle section twice and said it was the first time condensed mathematics felt like an idea rather than a rumour. Free on YouTube from a university channel, subtitles on. Some people prove theorems. He is replacing the floor.

A Nobel laureate flew to Bengaluru and spent 90 minutes on the questions physics still cannot answer. The stream sits almost unwatched. This is David Gross at the Chandrasekhar Auditorium, ICTS-TIFR, August 2025. The subject is the frontiers of fundamental physics. Gross shared the 2004 Nobel Prize for asymptotic freedom, the discovery that the force binding quarks weakens as they are pushed together. He also worked on string theory as an approach to quantum gravity. The talk is a map of the open territory. What the standard model explains, what it never touched, and where the field has been stuck for decades. Watch how he separates the settled from the unsettled. No hedging, no salesmanship, a man who won the prize describing what remains unsolved. A physicist I know rewatched the section on quantum gravity twice and said it was the cleanest statement of the gap he had heard. Free on YouTube from an Indian research institute, full lecture, subtitles on. The prizes go to the answers. The frontier is still a list of questions.

In 1696, Johann Bernoulli challenged Europe’s mathematicians with the brachistochrone problem: find the curve along which a particle falls from one point to another in the least time. The answer was not a straight line. It was a cycloid. Johann solved it using Fermat’s principle of least time. His brother Jakob found a more geometric approach and pushed the problem further, helping lay foundations for what became the calculus of variations. Their mathematics was brilliant. Their sibling rivalry was even more intense. Source: Hal Hellman, Great Feuds in Mathematics.

The then government in 1995 changed it completely. In 2013, a lot of amendments were made to the act. So, now if an amendment is taking place, it does not need to be taken negatively. We should trust the government, it is dedicated to 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas'... As per the reports, it seems that there are going to be around 32 amendments in the act. If it is about registration with the Collector or a judicial inquiry, then why should one have a problem with it? In 2013, it was amended that the government should map it every 10 years...

She married him a year after they met, and on their 1-month honeymoon in Italy she had a gangbang with 6 men while her new husband sat and watched like a cuckold. The setting was a sex club in Milan. She’d found the club’s promoter on Tinder. He met them at the door and taught her 1 Italian phrase: “vieni qua.” Come here. She used it all night. Every time a man she liked walked into the room, she said it. 5, then 6 Italian men. Her husband never touched anyone. Asked whether he joined in, she said: “He watched. He just watched.” That was all he wanted. Near the end of the night she finally went to him. Then a stranger, an Italian woman, pushed her aside and took her place. She didn’t fight it. She walked to the other side of the room. Milan wasn’t a one-off. It turned into a routine. In every city they visited, they searched Yelp for the nearest sex club. So the host asked the obvious question. What killed the marriage? It wasn’t the clubs or the strangers. They had 1 rule: no lying. He broke it.

The only physicist ever to win the Fields Medal taught a full Princeton course in 2022. The recordings have almost no views. Edward Witten works at the Institute for Advanced Study. He reshaped string theory and large parts of pure geometry, and mathematicians gave him their highest prize for it. This is Physics 539, Topics in High Energy Physics, autumn 2022. Full semester, lecture by lecture, chalk on a board, graduate students in the room. No lecture notes released. No production. No description on the videos. Someone sat in the back row and hit record. Watch how little he writes. A few symbols, 1 small diagram, and the whole argument carried in speech while the board stays nearly empty. A theoretical physicist I know worked through the playlist over a summer and said it read like watching someone think in real time. Free on YouTube, uploaded by an attendee, no institution behind it. Universities publish the public talks. Somebody filmed the real course.
