GUEST BIO:
Terence Tao is widely considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians in history. He won the Fields Medal and the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics, and has contributed to a wide range of fields from fluid dynamics with Navier-Stokes equations to mathematical physics & quantum mechanics, prime numbers & analytics number theory, harmonic analysis, compressed sensing, random matrix theory, combinatorics, and progress on many of the hardest problems in the history of mathematics.

@Nicatlotus

Seems like Tao's mind works about 100 times faster than he is able to express

@MaheshPatil-lr7wv

Imagine being smartest man studying most complex things  and able to explain so clearly and simply. Goat of mathematics.

@HappyG1lm0re

I had to double check that my speed wasn't at 1.5x.

@zachboschbird

bro actually explaining stuff at a pretty detailed level i like that hes not just glazing over things

@iqwwqi

I am so glad to hear the explanations from Terence directly and linking all the great names and concepts in science.

@saisuhasiniramalingam

Terence Tao is cool. He accepted my LinkedIn request 🔥

@self-drivingscientist512

I know we're talking about Terence Tao here but I was just blown away by the breadth and the depth of his knowledge along with the way he communicates his ideas. Just brilliant!

@abhir7823

When Terence Tao was in school he used to watch video lectures at 1.5x ...

@chenardpierre8270

A fun fact: his brother won also a medal at the IMO. I can imagine the discussions at dinner time...

@AlSynk

you know you're getting old because you're watching this on a Saturday night

@TerryBrady-q5b

As we approach Tau Day (6.28) it's worth noting how much more beautiful is e^(i.tau) = 1. Pi is just half of the actual circle constant :)

@sd-ti4yv

Tao's description of connection between symmetries and conservation laws (4:57)  is fascinating, as well as his description of system dynamics in terms of energy using Hamiltonian (3:15).

@Aaron-hb4wu

Tao for those unaware is Gauss level. He is the ultimate authority on whatever he speaks on. If he keeps going at his insane rate , he will be the greatest mathatician in history. He hits so many branches of math like a machine. He is the chilld prodigy who became a prodigy. Arguably the most intelligent person on the planet. He has to slow down when talking he's thinking that fast. He's talked about how he feels like he's talking really slowly at times but everyone tells him otherwise.

@dr_ned_flanders

For me, what is amazing about e^i pi + 1 = 0 is that you have two irrational numbers with infinite non repeating numbers of decimal places and a complex number and it reduces to just -1.

@davidespinosa1910

Terry gave a nice geometric interpretation:
e^(pi*i) = rotate by 180 degrees
-1 = reflect about x and y axes, in either order

@Scott-ll9rb

Hamiltonian, indeed. Awesome vid - thanks chats!

@johnnyrockets10

The pride of Australia!

@z4zuse

I also like
i^i = 1 / sqrt(e^pi)

@thechief8864

This episode just proves that time is relative to the observer. At 0.8x speed Terrance sounds like a normal human and Lex just sounds drunk.
