      This comment has to come from somebody without a PhD. LOL Let me tell you something, a PhD doesn't mean much and most of the time, it (using s/he is too much trouble and offends the 36th sex) only knows some very basic concept of other field, but lots of specialized knowledge in its tiny and narrow field. These panel members are a rare collection and I see some of these in my own field once in a blue moon (I happen to be a hybrid and ran a few conferences in the past so I know a bit broader than most average scientists).

      If want to solve Fermat need attention to are integer x.y.z conditions carefully
      Define
      Sx=1+2^2+3^2+4^2+....+x^2.=x(x+1)(2x+1)/6=(2x^3+3x^2+x)/6
      Sy=1+2^2+3^2+4^2+....+y^2=y(y+1)(2y+1)/6=(2y^3+3y^2+y)/6
      Sz=1+2^2+3^2+4^2+....+z^2=z(z+1)(2z+1)/6=(2z^3+3z^2+z)/6
      So
      2x^3=6Sx-3x^2-x
      2y^3=6Sy-3y^2-y
      2z^3=6Sz-3z^2-z
      So
      x^3=3Sx-3/2x^2-x/2
      y^3=3Sy-3/2y^2 - y/2
      z^3=3Sz -3/2z^2-z/2
      Suppose
      x^3+y^3=z^3
      3Sx-3/2x^2-x/2+3Sy-3/2y^2 - y/2 - (3Sz -3/2z^2-z/2)=0
      Or
      2Sx-x^2-x/3+2Sy-y^2 - y/3 - (2Sz -z^2-z/3)=0
      Or
      2Sx+2Sy-2Sz-(x^2+y^2-z^2) =(x/3+y/3-z/3)
      Because
      2Sx+2Sy-2Sz-(x^2+y^2-z^2) is integer
      So
      (x/3+y/3-z/3) is also integer
      or
      x=3k
      y=3h and
      z=3g
      K,h,g are integers
      So
      27k^3+27h^3=27g^3.
      Or
      k^3+h^3=g^3
      had had conditions x ^ 3 + y ^ 3 = z ^ 3
      Cannot satisfy two conditions in the same time
      except
      x=k,y=h and z=g
      But
      x=3k
      and
      k=x
      So
      x=3x
      this is impossible!
      Conclusive
      x^3+y^3=/z^3
      General
      Z^n=/x^n+y^n

    The proof of the classification of finite simple groups. Yes, that took place before the Polymath Project, but it displays a similar approach to the project. Break a big problem into lots of little parts, then individuals go to work on the various parts. What the Polymath project brings is nearly instantaneous communication via technology.

      John Conway is the mind behind the classification. All the other helped but the ideas were all Conway’s. In fact he probably had it in mind all along, what remained was for the others to convince themselves. Not really a massive group after all...

    13:26 Great insight on the topic of whether mathematics are to be discovered or invented. The notion of "real numbers" is an excellent example of something that makes perfect sense in the human mind -since it agrees with our intuition for "movement"- but does not necessarily reflect how the universe works (especially if we assume that space-time is quantized). It's our way to understand reality.

    11:36 Now, it surprised me to hear this from a mathematician:
    Assumption 1: Aliens (if they're civilised) need to count
    Assumption 2: Counting can't be any different anywhere in the universe
    Assumption 3: Anywhere in the Universe you'd have to measure time and measure space
    Conclusion: Probably they'd have the same sort of mathematics

    12:04 - This is incorrect. At its fundamental level, biology also adheres to physical laws. Even Richard Dawkins mentioned on his channel that Darwinian natural selection would be the primary mechanism by which organisms form and evolve. This suggests that extraterrestrial life could potentially resemble us.

    you gotta love the fact that they are working in many unsolved conjectures and they are talking about it pretty often (which is very normal and a must in order to attract more ppl to the field), they are relatively famous (in the field - especially tao), and all. Yet, the only person made the real breakthrough about the crazy unsolved problems is a "random" Russian-Jew guy with almost no interviews or any insane CV.

    It would be easy to agree with all of them and praise them. I feel that ultimately we developed mathematics to serve the demands of our physical world and it’s physics as we understood it. In another world where another totally different physical world exists, Taos and Lauries of that world probably developed mathematics totally differently. Just my 2 cents.

    How math of aliens may be different? This question has not been deeply explored. I think, they would have different choices of axioms for logic and set theory to model the same phenomena. They could have different axiomatization of probability, and so on. They could be finitists, discovering finite difference equations, rather than differential equations. They could be more abstract, not limiting mathematics to mathematical operations between objects, but exploring properties of objects under arbitrary sets of operations, and so on. However, mathematical philosophy aside, their math would be applicable to solve physical and practical problems. So, imagine what other algorithms could solve the same physical problems that we have, and you can discover what alternative mathematics aliens may have.
