It takes all sorts to make a world.

On the face of it, he appears to have demonstrated an admirable degree of integrity, although there may be more to this than meets the eye.

There has been already an article about his mathematician before. As much as he is a genius he is also a recluse. His joys has been mathematics and has a phobia about the public. A fine line between genius and madness...

Pretty obvious really to anyone with the slightest smattering of mathematical skills. They should have asked him to accept the prize on a Wednesday as without exception every other day of the week he is a teapot - and can demonstrate the equations to prove it!

Can I get the money ?

Money's imaginary anyway.

Have a good long think about why we're cutting benefits etc 'at the request of the markets' - what we're essentially saying, as a civilisation, is "We need to support this imaginary ponzi scheme over feeding the vulnerable"

Makes me sick.
