I share quite a few of his quirks. I was also rejected by most of the grad schools I applied to. So how come I didn't amount to anything?

Seriously, a well written article including the accessible explanations of his work. Plus, LoL funny. Thank you.

It's not over yet my friend

I've started my bachelor's at 35y, last year. Still waiting for grade on last exam, but it looks like after 4 tries (since 2008) I finally passed the first semester.

Congratulations! That takes so much courage - more than most of your classmates have ever had to exercise. The next semester should be easier!

I did this too, a little before you (started around 27ish)

The B.S. changed my life. I graduated, you will too.

Congrats. You’ll get there! Just take it one semester at a time.

This is the friendliest comment I've seen on the World Wide Web today. Thank you for posting.

Quanta Magazine was already brilliant before, but this article has improved the way the cutting-edge work is presented acessibly to (relatifve) laypeople.

So grateful to the late Jim Simons for funding basic research and its popularization (and Quanta Mag.)!
