Re: Math genius rejects attention after solving problems

Reading the article, the first thought that came to my mind is this:
does he know something about what he found out that we do not and if we do find out will this something cause such a major disruption in the science world (or the world in general) that may cause people to start blaming him (and rather angrily) for it?

It is incredibly important to remember that not all knowledge is good. It may be great. It may be great enough for an award such as this. But how it plays out in the real world is a major question that can only be answered by the risky trial and error process.

Otherwise, if its not that, he's being a real humble guy, and that's something rare in this world today. Something to celebrate I guess. God bless him.

PS: Stephen Colbert is looking to take the award for him according to last night's show. He proved #1. That a donut could be made into a sphere and #2. That after 1 donut out of 3 donuts is eaten, there will be 2 donuts left over. lol.
