As I said one year ago - read JL Borges ""The God's Script" - the ending will let you know what's happened to Perelman
He rejected the money because he didnt do it for the money.
He has spended his life for his study. He has spend his life to solve problems as such. If he would have taken the money it would have taken the focus of his prestation.With rejecting the money he wants to show that he studys from instrumental perspective not for money.
I read there are Swedes here too. You know Astrid LINDGREN do you? Perelman's refusal really reminded me of Pippi Longstocking receiving a money note for her "work,", for the first time saying pertly : "Eh? What am I supposed to do with that paper flannel ?" =)
I think it is incredibly selfish to refuse a million dollars unless you've got a really damned important reason to do so.There are no doubt folks within his immediate sphere of relations that could probably benefit from it.It is fine if he doesn't want the money for himself, but if I rejected a million dollars my mother would pissed the f' off. The asshole still lives with his mother but is selfish enough not to give something in return. Mathematically brilliant, but somewhat morally challenged.
@greatsea The reason why he did not collected it, it was because he did not do it for the money. Further on, he oppose the mathematical community, for being to money- and fameorientated, backstabbing etc. Money is not everything, and if you not understand that, you cant understand a pure mind as him.
These eggheads need to do a better job of breaking down the concept into laymans terms so that we can have an understanding of why the committee is so confident that he actually solved the problem. I feel like we're being punked. They tell us he solved it and we are supposed to believe them automatically. Its kinda like the faith concept in religion. They did ok in explaining the initial problem but never attempted to explain how Perelman solved it.
@ResearchKnowledge123 Are you retarted? Obviously the solution is complex, but his solution is fucking online. You can download from a million places. Understanding it is a different story, but the committee can't explain to you years of background mathematics these guys studied to you in a few minutes.
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!!!

Poincare Conjecture it is very difficult even for understanding, the Best mathematicians could solve decades this it would not seem not solved riddle the theorem of a century. Thanks Russian school of Mathematics
what I don't understand is this: Poincaré pointed out this "enigma" and also solved it by saying that the 3 dimensional sphere was the simplest form. which means! that he must have solved this problem!
now... first, if he did solve it, wouldn't there be a written proof from Poincaré's part?
and second, if 100 years ago Poincaré was able to ask him self this question, therefore understood it, why in the world we were only able to prove this "theory" after 100 years?!
Poincare's assertion that the sphere was the simplest form was only a best guess, a "conjecture." It took almost a hundred years for somone to actually prove the conjecture correct.
Yes, he's a Jew, as are over 25% of the Nobel Prize winners in mathematics, medicine, physics, biology and chemistry. When an Arab makes a mathematical, medical or scientific breakthrough, please wake the rest of us up.
Yes, ethnically he is Jew. But he is Russian Jew. He was born and grew up in Russia. He studied and worked in Russia. He represents Russian school of mathematic.
@laserbeam5 ,,Even Trocky or Kaganowic or lenin were born and raised in Russia,, but you hypocrites call them ''Jewish'' because you dislike them,,But when a jew n¨makes something great to mankind - you call him ''russian''
you one of those idiots that think i'm racist , abc,cbc,nbs mustve killed your brains ; btw onwers of those channels are jews , plz read Duke - Jewsih Question very interesting you'll understand who owns shit ,and if don't read books die slow

Grigori presented a proof for the poincare conjecture. Seems like people what to always give hime less credit than he deserves. Math is a very collaborative field and dependent on other works and other people's proofs. Well done Grigori!
Sinceramente, Gregory Perelman es considerado el hombre más inteligente de todos los tiempos por resolver uno de los teoremas de Henry Poincaré, que tuvo a los matemáticos por varios siglos con "dolor de cabeza"...XDXDXD
@VVeerla mathematics has no connection with the nationalities or backgrounds. the main thing is our mind and our capacity ... Put that in your head ...
Gregory id not prove the conjecture. Gregory stole the proof from a japaneese or chineese mathematician, and that is why he did not want to accept the field medal and turned down the million bucks.
False!!. Please,jahdallah, read more about this story. Perelman (w/ Hamilton) proof the conjecture. Xiping and Huaidong used Perelman's results to corroborate and complete their own proof.
I read abt the subject 5-6 times but I never got it or I failed to visualise the Conjecture. :)
As for Perelman rejecting the prize, his reason is simple but pregnant with meaning. He said that he dont like to glorify mathematics and be an inspiration to other people who would get nothing but endless boredom in mathematics (or something to that effect). Contd...
The Panel of mathematicians who were to certify that Perelman indeed 'solved' the problem were ambivalent..somehow they 'believe' that he did solve it.
But deep down Perelman spent the great deal of his life and energy to prove as odious as Poncare Conjecture.
He may just say that it's a futile exercise but who knows what others mathematicians/scientists are going to do with that proof? Life is weird!
it is the proof of the tao-philosophy
