the smartest guy you've had on your show by far

edward frenkel is very quickly becoming one of my favorite humans. i love his enthusiasm for the subject and the deep seated need to be able to explain it to everyone. langlands is a facinating topic. one i've come across very late in my life. it seems to have deep and far reaching impact on some very interesting topics (shimura-taniyama, fermat...). there's potentially a strong connection between langlands and rh. for anyone interested he did a four part lecture trying to present langlands to lay mathematicians.

The way of explaining it with projections made a click on my mind!

5:34 well done on the bottle analogy. We still haven't quite exited Plato's cave, I guess - still seeing shadows on the wall, and not the real thing.

There is video on Numberphile on this topic with Edward Frenkel it takes hour to explain Langlands Program

The answer is within Cut, Turn, Union, Flow and the Sinewave.

"there is a hidden principle which we still dont understand"

a short introduction to this hidden principle is that

at the bedrock of reality lies a correspondence between point line and curvature
everything in exitance exists within said correspondence and expresses this correspondence

distance
time
music

Even philosophy, a metaphysical task and trajectory of sorts expresses the movement of mind from one fact to another

'because you understand this, you now see and understand this and henceforth'

this movement is a trajectory

our movement in the metaphysical determines our movement in the physical and vice versa .
metaphysically when the mind comprehends one fact or faculty of anything it in turn moves to the next

this phenomenon is in short point-to-line correspondence

Seems like gravity is the underlying force that creates balance, an equal and opposite reaction. Is it possible that gravity is not a constant, and changes at the quantum level? If humans behave like quantum particles as a scientist once said, maybe some inferences can be made.

You can hear that the first language of Frenkel is Russian.

[Shaolin-Jesus]

mathematics is the bedrock of reality. The langland program is a great map we can use to traverse the totality of not just mathematics but life itself.

Make Peace n exercise Peace through nutrition for all humanity so paranoia dose not exist in any professional minds in science may no one become bored with the chores of nutrition through the season of the earth with clean air land n water

3d is a projection from 5d, no space or time really exist. It's cartoon land down here!

The guest looks like Michael J. Fox and the singer of Radiohead were to have a child together!😵

Mathemagikal... one of the basis for Scientisim...
