Revolutionary Math Proof No One Could Explain...Until Now [Part 1]

The Geometric Langlands Correspondence. Edward Frenkel is a renowned mathematician and professor at the University of California, Berkeley, known for his work in representation theory, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics. Edward is also the author of the bestselling book “Love and Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality”, which bridges the gap between mathematics and the broader public.

I love this guy, he’s pure entertainment in every interview he does. And that he’s as elite a mind in our world as Ed Witten is too much. He’s like the Feynman of mathematicians. He’s to his bones trying to make a connection and communicate with the person and audience he’s speaking to. Edward Frankel is a star.

[charlesblithfield]

Too many YouTube channels literally apologize when anything remotely scientific, mathematical and technical needs to be part of the conversation. This bothers me because “dumbing down” discourse can become a reciprocating process. If it’s hard to understand that’s GOOD because it challenges the intellect. I like how TOE doesn’t feel the need to apologize when the going gets technical because this shows respect to its audience.

Frenkel is a deep thinker, and not just about mathematics itself but also about the human side of the discipline and what's more, he's got a real passion for communicating these insights in a clear and compelling way! I would listen to another 10 interviews with him, but one more will do for now. Glad there's someone interviewing such people at a level of a mathematically educated non-specialist.

[kennethvalbjoern]

I always love to hear and see Edward Frenkel's casual and entertaining speeches. He is a very intelligent man.

[ahmadsaffi]

This is one of my favorite conversations. Thank you for continuing to bring on wonderful guests and diving into the deep areas we seldom find elsewhere!

[grzegorzmajcher]

Please, give us more of Edward Frenkel!!! I could listen to him forever!

[TwoStepsFromAnywhere]

Wow, his passion makes the exposition more riveting than a thriller. We need many, many seasons of this series

[MarkoTManninen]

Exceptionally talented teacher. I have listened the first 30 minutes and I'm impressed. His choice of concepts and gradual development of ideas makes difficult subjects sound comprehensible. Iceberg melted!

[sullenpuffin]

Yes Edward, we definitely dig these kinds of discussions! Thank you for this, and as always, thank you Curt!

[FrancisGo.]

Edward Frenkel and Sean Carroll both have beautiful enthusiasm and resonating euphony. 💞

[fronx]

I could listen to Edward all day. He cares so much about making sure that the listeners see the beauty of it for themselves. Sometimes he dwells a bit too long on spelling out the connections, but I can live with that. Looking forward to the continuation!

[rodrigoviverosphoto]

Remember that all this talk is for free. Amazing. Thank you!!

[johnvonleibniz]

Wild timing on this. I've been thinking deeply about Ed Frenkel for the past few days. Anyway, fantastic upload Curt!

[ChrisShawUK]

"when was the last time you saw a sheaf on the street?" has to be one of the best one-liners ever

[TheMikesylv]

It’s very easy to like Edward Frenkel he is charismatic.

[lucascardoso]

Great interview. Looking forward for part 2.

[ontheballcity]

That was quality. I look forward to the second installment!

[Tabu]

What an amazing talk! Helped me understand what I need to learn better. It made me appreciate things more too.

[ydas]

Inspiring, clear and passionate explanation and discussion. Love all the detours. Thank you very much and cannot wait for part two.
