He was mad at 丘成桐 stealing his credits, but the committee awarded the prize to *him*, not to Yau. Why was he still angry? I'm not condoning the stealing of credits, though I don't know the details of this case.
I think Alexander Grothendieck had more reason to be angry at the mathematics establishment... he fought against imperialism and racism.
@saivenkat7 Thanks, that's a good point. Though I still think it's more practical to accept the money, rather than to live with his mom with a meager income. I respect his choice though.
I can't exactly explain why, but Perelman has both an extremely motivating and depressing effect on me. I'm sure there're others who can relate to this.
It seems to me, that Perelman follows the etic that was beautifully said by Albert Einstein:
"If my theory of relativity proves to be correct, Germany will claim me a German, and France will claim me a citizen of the world. However, if it proves wrong, France will say Im a German, and Germany will say that Im a jew."
Why is he underrated? He was avoided the Fields Prize. He purely acts like an underrated genius. Perhaps because he craves publicity in some perveted way.
Just adding another important fact the Russian don't like to show... this is another Jewish genius !
Grigori Perelman was born in Leningrad, Soviet Union (now Saint Petersburg, Russia) on 13 June 1966, to Jewish[6] parents, Yakov (who now lives in Israel) and Lubov. Grigori's mother Lubov gave up graduate work in mathematics to raise him.
He has a younger sister, Elena, who is also a scientist. She received a Ph.D. from Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.
These institutes have lost sight that the solution IS the reward,
success is its own reward.
And so many twisted people cannot fathom that he does not suffer from the disease of Affluenza like most of them do. They can't see beyond their own greed.
how come an institute, like the clay, could even think of giving money like that, who do they think they are?? the gate keeper of mathematics !? by refusing the money he got his name written in stone for his brilliance in the field of mathematics and not his cupidity. we live in a world were reward is blinding people from they real intimate goals and dreams. So well done, thanks for your work and for contributing in improving our life. screw this people for trying to annihilating us.
This man is amazing. I admire the courage he has (and the reasons) to turn down 1 million bucks. I understand the US dollar is declining and it isnt the worlds strongest currency but still, it is a lot of money. Thanks for showing us that money isnt always the solution. God Bless You and long lives Russia!!!
@videochemist If everyone started thinking, being themselves, being their best and doing what they like to do instead of following the sheep who are brainwashed by bankers, corporations and shadow governments wed also have a serious case of world peace :)
This is a real genius. There's no price for intelligence! Modesty is the most beautiful quality

Mental illness, perhaps? Schizoid personality disorder would be a speculative diagnosis...
But then again, who is to say that we are not the ones with the mental illness? Perhaps, everyone has their own level and degree of mental illness?
At any rate, why can't the media show some fucking respect for someone who is obviously anxious around publicity..
Thank you Mr. Perelman, and undoubtedly his mother and sister in helping with this solution...thank you too!

If Hamilton hadn't discovered Ricci Flow, then Perelman would never have solved this puzzle. Maybe this is why Perelman rejected the prize.
