During this conversation John Nash insisted for a while that change having been always present would not represent anything new today. Who was I to convince him of the contrary? I told him the example of heating water: nothing changes for a long time but temperature. Then, unexpectedly, the same change that from 85 C to 95 C did nothing much, brings a big surprise as temperature changes from 95 C to 105 C! This seemed to change :) his mind...

  • WTF? haha poor Mr Nash. he`s thinking to himself "here is 10 min. of my life I`m not getting back...get me out of here, this guy(interviewer) is a jackass"

  • I am truly shocked that the interviewer so aggressively spoke over Dr. Nash... The questions were terrible and pointless. "The rate of change itself has seemed to increase"--- and you had to explain what that means!! And you explained it poorly. Hello buddy, this guy is a mathematician. Rate of change of rate of change is the second derivative of a function. I'm pretty sure Nash needed no explanation.

    You essentially just used his name, and this interview, to get people to hear YOUR voice.

  • This is one "hilarious" video. =p

  • @omegamik20 Or they could call it "An ugly mind". It would just be him sitting around trying to do some basic arithmetic and thinking of stupid questions to ask nobel prize winning mathematicians.

  • What a pathetic stupid interviewer. A younger Jhon Nash would just walk away from such idiotic questions.

  • @sled1950 A broken genius interviewed by Art Bell. What a waste.

  • Your video is a favorite on Paramaribo

  • This video is about some interviewer trying to put words in Nash's mouth.

  • omg... is this guy rly teaching prof. Nash how watter boiles?

  • @19whitepower ... schizophrenia had nothing to do with being angry...

    are you for real?

  • @19whitepower are you dumb or stupid? I'm wondering because your comment has to be one of the most ignorant statements I've ever read.

  • I dont think that shizofrenia is a real illness because all people can be angry sometimes.
