  • The 2015 Breakthrough Prize ceremony was held on November 9, 2014 at NASA’s Hangar 1 in Mountain View, California. Host Seth MacFarlane was joined by actors Kate Beckinsale, Cameron Diaz, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jon Hamm and Eddie Redmayne, who presented the Breakthrough Prizes alongside Silicon Valley's Dick Costolo, Laurene Jobs, Elon Musk, Anne Wojcicki, Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg and Yuri Milner. The event was produced by Vanity Fair and Don Mischer Productions.

    What? So you just compared Zuckerberg with Dr Alan Turing? He wasn't just a code breaker. He was a truly great mathematician. A genius.

      It may look like he is not some genius and I agree, frankly, he is not. But, he was and maybe still is one of the smartest people in the room(if you consider coding). What he did in 2004 was remarkable of course compare to today for sure coding is a piece of cake and any person with little or no knowledge can design a social media website. But, he did all of that by himself in 2004, when the technology was not that refined. And, he gave the world some of the best tools we all use today but don't even realize it. He was the one who started this revolution of free speech and where people can put forth there own opinion rather than someone who is already a figure lecturing it to us and made our daily thoughts more diverse.
      And, I know what you may be thinking but let me tell you I don't worship Zuck. But, he did a lot for us and sure can count him as one of the pioneers of the internet revolution. It's like you cannot say Bill Gates did nothing or he is not a genius, he made all of this not directly but had a huge impact on everything you see around related with computers.
      Sure, Alan Turing was a great man and a genius. But he was Alan Turing, not Mark Zuckerberg and Mark is not Alan Turing. They both had a different approach for greatness in their life. They both are unique and deserve equal respect.

      Richard Taylor doesn't seem like some member of an advanced species. Nor do Kontsevich, Tao, Donaldson, or Lurie. They're guys who have a gift, they use that gift, and they find their work profoundly motivating. It's the contrast of their humility and normalcy with the grotesque celebrity of those announcers (and especially that ridiculous audience) that makes this entire presentation awkward.

I know there are women who have made just as strong breakthroughs in math so why not? I understand that they can't award this prize to everyone and had to pick only a few out of many great people but when out of five people no one is a woman it becomes slightly annoying and just not representative of the people making breakthroughs in math and the math community as a whole. I just don't want this to turn out like the fields medal where women had to wait over 75 years after the medal was founded to be awarded it in 2014.

      It's not true that men are better at mathematics than women. If you look at the correlation between performance difference between sex and gender inequality per country you will see huge gaps in countries like Iran. But by the time you get to Finland and Iceland, women perform just as well if not minimally better than men, which is just what you would expect to see if there was no causal relationship between sex and mathematical ability. The first Fields medal was awarded to an Iranian woman, so there!
