Maybe interesting but his voice and manner of speaking is pretty annoying to listen to. I'll save this for later when I have less beer. Thanks.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

I always find the content the only thing that is relevant in a lecture, not the way in which is delivered.

I found it interesting mainly because Noether's importance in mathematics and physics is mostly underrated when in fact I see her as one of the most influential mathematics in the 20th century.

I wouldn't say underrated, well at least in physics. Physicist use Noether's theorem all the time. Every time you have certain symmetry you can apply it.

Altho they don't tend to overuse it. One of my professors calls using the symmetry 'the argument of ones own lack of imagination' Very Happy

Look, it's 21h in the evening, I've been reading through and talking about the history of pre-socratics and other philosophers from ancient history all day. I am enjoying my beer tonight and as I said, it sounds interesting but his voice and manner of speaking are annoying right now. Dont take it personally.

I would say that discovering new symmetries in a complex lagrange density isn't considered lack od imagination. Atleast I don't find it trivial.
