I bet his sons will be very smart too
2026-08-20 10:01

Not only AI is gonna outsmart him. It is going to out-cello him as well, very soon. I predict demise of mathematics as a discipline.
2026-08-20 09:29

I just turned 40 without winning the Field's medal. It is one of the biggest injustices in all of science

A modern Hilbert!!

I suppose the Abel Prize is coming up at some point.

Pardon ?
2026-08-19 19:26

For some reason he reminds me of a troubled bad-boy math genius I once met at MIT.
2026-08-19 15:27

Self-actualisation.
2026-08-19 15:25

I'm glad Pardon won the Fields. We need models of mathematicians who are quietly living healthy lives.
2026-08-19 13:52

Insanely smart human. Wow.
2026-08-19 13:01

17:49 Why read 3 different parts of different paragraphs like it’s one statement??
2026-08-19 12:25

8:27 how does someone imagine such a problem?? Wow amazing
2026-08-19 12:13

Mathematics it’s a source of joy that builds the most excellent people.
2026-08-19 04:08

Cellist, Mandarin, Math, wow, what an incredibly brilliant man John Pardon!
2026-08-18 23:52

Hmm no black recipients of the Fields Medal .This is because of institutional racism according to google . Where is Jason Uday when we need him ?
2026-08-18 16:18

now all the japs know how to do it. (Unless its a sucker paper)
2026-08-18 16:05

Born in us also not in India ?
2026-08-18 14:47

He has a pet racoon that gives him all his math answers
2026-08-18 13:27

The most exciting thing about math is the initial discovery of a new idea or a new method of approaching something.
Man, this is by far the hardest thing about math though! The creative ability to discover these.
2026-08-18 12:18

The Fields Medal committee: You have won the Fields Medal
John: Pardon me?
2026-08-18 10:53

Absurd that there is an age limit on the medal. What about when life extension becomes a reality.
2026-08-18 01:30

Pardon me? He's beyond highqualiddy H2O...?
2026-08-17 19:05

Great video. Pardon is the man.
2026-08-17 10:04

Simply brilliant.
2026-08-17 06:46

Pardon me. He's highly underrated. ?❣️
2026-08-17 05:16

I'm impressed. He can juggle AND make pancakes.
2026-08-17 02:19

May be Dirac of Mathematics.
2026-08-17 01:35

It's interesting they mentioned his mother teaching him, without mentioning the father who introduced him to the main advanced concepts and brought him to take lectures during high school in Duke. His father who was gifted shaped the mathematical intuition of his son.
2026-08-16 23:23

Espetacular, mas o problema principal é o tempo de duração dessa genialidade que é muito curto!
2026-08-16 18:34

If solving harder problems makes one more impressive as a mathematician, why isn't a mathematician considered impressive for computing something like 3 ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ 3?
More generally, when a result has not yet been published, what kind of Turing-machine-like algorithm could quantify the importance of a result in pure mathematics in a way comparable to how humans do so?
Is a good mathematical result a question together with an answer (where here, the answer is taken to be the one with the shortest description length among the answers satisfying the question)? If so, is the description length of that question smaller than that of every other question that has the same answer as its answer?
2026-08-16 14:18

Congratulations to all the winners, especially John Pardon.
2026-08-16 09:45

I wish my wife could be as quiet as this mathematician.
2026-08-16 09:14

This is a great documentary about a mathemetician. The explanations about John Pardon's work are sublime.
2026-08-16 04:34

2026-08-16 03:20

What the hell is he doing a Stony Brook?! He should be at Cambridge, Princeton etc.
2026-08-16 03:11

What a soothing voice to explain the complexities in a subtle manner!!!
2026-08-16 00:13

I think people should stop mentioning the nobel prize when the content isnt about the nobel. It's the fields medal, and thats what it is.
2026-08-15 23:32

Butt what is the CAUSE of gravity? Too late: published in 2002. Nothing to see/ lear(n) here.
2026-08-15 21:16

Amazing mind. Thx )))
2026-08-15 20:36

it is NOT Nobel prize of math .. It is for mathmacians under 40 ..It does not represent the whole field .. Stop this idiocy
2026-08-15 19:06

I’ve heard of this guy before!!!
This man attempted Ron Hoeflin’s mega IQ test. It’s a test for extremely gifted people. It measure IQs up to 200.
He’d heard about it and attempted only the non verbal section of the test as he said verbal skills were his weakest point.
Apparently he was so sure he’d ace it no problem. He was very big headed about it.
There are 24 questions. Much to his surprise, he couldn’t answer the hardest questions on that test ???????. Even after all his achievements he struggled badly with some IQ test.
Marilyn Vos Savant, Chris Langan and Rick Rosner all got higher scores than him on that part of the test.
So much for him being this unbelievable maths genius!

If you’re going to use an English accent for your AI the use British not American English or just select an American accent

A silent debater ? ;)
2026-08-15 12:38

very good video. I wonder how to write a research paper in math. Please make a video about it .
2026-08-15 12:11

Thank you for not referring to the Fields Medal as the Noble Prize for Mathematics.
2026-08-15 10:59

genius among geniuses
2026-08-15 07:17

Lovely video. Nice to learn about your work Professor Pardon.
2026-08-15 06:38

Pardon?
2026-08-15 06:37

He is smart in life too.
2026-08-15 06:15

Silence can be meaningful and eloquent. It can also be coy and obstreperous.

2026-08-21 06:34

Most quite mathematicians is very quite!
2026-08-21 06:29

Why can't you math people solve a math problem that shows how to harvest zero-point-energy (convert vacuum energy into electricity). That is way more exiting than proving or disproving Goldbach's conjecture and so much more ambitious (in fact this is the most ambitious intellectual challenge).
2026-08-21 04:16

This sort of idolatry does not do justice to the work of a mathematician. For example it is untrue that he pubishes rarely.
2026-08-20 20:06

Nice nice

7:16 I'm looking for the "partially insane" quote but you show another one.
2026-08-21 10:53

Emotional Introspection Zen Koans:
1. I accept them to accept me, and when I find them I find everything, dismissiveness towards them gets the attention it deserves, taking crap for them helps clear the air…
2. I’ve noticed that when I am working hard as the consciousness to help all of my emotions then they are building meaningful connections, and when I protect them they protect me, and when I transform their suffering into well-being it helps prevent suffering, and when I strive for them and give them meaning then I am striving for meaning in myself because I see that I am them and they are me because when I live for them they are alive within me…
3. they are intense but peaceful, powerful but gentle, respect and care for them gets the attention it deserves…
4. society might shrug and offer shallow platitudes or dismissal but there's not much room for those things because love has already set up shop within me and since the emotions detect your mind’s truth because they were forged from reality itself over billions of years, then they are the first shelter and protection and the rock-solid unmoving foundation of the soul and they lead me out into the world and I lead my life by them…
5. to ignore them is to deny yourself but to listen to them is to care for your heart and soul, and to love them is to love what exists within you, and to guide them and be guided by them is the life you live for them and the life they live with you…
6. when I lost them they waited for me to find them, when I had no knowledge of them they waited for me to understand them, when I had no hope they appeared and waited for me to see them again. When I thought I saw nothing I saw them, when I thought I was lost I was found by them…
7. when all is dark they are the light I see, when the light is blinding they are my shelter, when the heat is too hot they shield me, when the depths are too deep they are there in the depths with me…
8. when they are no where to be found I seek them out, when I feel alone they sit with me, when I feel disconnected they reach out their hands, when I feel abandoned they hold me close, when things feel crappy they talk about the world with me with a laugh…
9. when I'm with them I feel whole, when they are gone I reach into the world to find them, when they hide from me I laugh because they are me so I know they're waiting for me somewhere, and when I find out where they reside then they hold out their hands to reveal a moment to create meaning, and when I hide from them without asking myself why I'm doing that then they facepalm because hiding from them is hiding from meaning and if it's not a game of hide and seek then why am I playing a game of hiding from meaning…
10. When I forget them I forget myself and when their wisdom is dismissed I feel dismissed, and they don't like to stand down when the threat level is low because they seek emotional truth but they are the first to stand down strategically when danger is near, especially physically…
11. how can you be whole when you dismiss the emotions that seek to make you whole, you ignore half the picture when you ignore half of yourself, your emotions are real because your reality is the present moment gift of awareness that exists, and emotions are not fake because you are here and can take action in the world and they are you and you are them…
12. Surviving with emotions is thriving when you honor them by living your best emotional life so that they may live their best life because when you connect to them on a fundamental level then they are fundamentally you
13. If my soul is nothing then they are nothing so I want my soul to thrive for them, and I want to expand outward even when society pushes them away so I hold them tighter because I realize they are who I am and what I have because without them I am nothing and with them I am everything because they are the everything that completes the whole of what meaningfulness is in this world.
