Monster Group (a little extra bit)

Extra bit of interview with Tim Burness (University of Bristol)

[dingaia]

Must admit, this is better than a mystery novel lol

[michaels]

It should be Fg for Fischer-Greiss or Friendly Giant. A double acronym!

[lambdabaryon]

More groups please! You could make videos on Lie Theory for example.

[JacobGoodman]

Greiss, who first constructed the Monster, was my professor for advanced linear algebra in college

[saaraharoni]

well... this was a long and interesting journey... :D

[lazeran]

I really do not fully grasp the whole concept in the video but somehow this was one of the most enjoyable video that I was watched in my entire life.

[Zimpfnis]

Wow, that was both a wonderful and intriguing story throughout those 3 videos.
Thank you again!

[bernardfinucane]

Skirting around Conway''s Montrous Moonshine conjecture....

[theRealPlaidRabbit]

Sorry, was that the Fisher-Price monster?  Because I had a bunch of those as a kid.

[kingmateo]

What I don't understand is how can the monster be a simple group and yet have another simple group as a sub group?
In the first video, the simple groups were defined as the building blocs of groups like elements in chemistry so they shouldn't have smaller groups they are made of?

[bruinflight]

Brady, you always ask the most darned interesting questions! Thank you!

[LordNethesis]

Please do more on groups and things like that!

[Infernoraptor]

If I'm understanding this right, the monster group is then the equivalent of that group from the other grid that linked with the equilateral triangle in that both sets not only relate to specific shapes/structures but to significant structures. Or, to rephrase; the same way that a circle, square, equilateral triangle, etc are significant in 2D space and the cube, sphere, etc are significant in 3D space, the monster's structure is significant in that many dimensions and the monster would be significant in that it is directing us toward that object?

[mrjeff]

is it possible to create a graphics card, which is able to contain all the vectors, and do math with the monster?

[felooosailing]

I have a question. Of the monster and the baby monster are both simple, how come you can find the baby in inside the monster?

[DrMcCoy]

This is already in your second channel, so why is it still unlisted? I had hoped you would stop with the unlisting thing; it's just annoying.

I don't watch the videos on YouTube, I download them straight from my subscription list, and watch them with a proper media player. Bunched up, when I got time. When you put links to videos in the annotations, I have to manually open each video, seek to the end and click on them.

[jeremimiller]

some more of the Monster, and maybe John Conway please? It's incredibly interesting

[hardwareful]

At some point, AI will understand the structure and interrelations of the Monster... and won't tell us.

[samuelfeder]

I wonder why that table looks like a periodic table,
It would be really interesting to know it it looks like that because it was desinged to look like that as a joke,
or it it looks like that because that is acctually the most straight forward way to represent it.

[PhilBagels]

So the Baby Monster fits within the Monster, but they're both simple groups. Meaning you can't "subtract out" the Baby from the Monster and leave a complete group. Otherwise, the Monster would not be a simple group. Is that correct?
Do all the sporadic groups nest inside each other like matryoshka dolls? Or some of them?
