#472 – Terence Tao: Hardest Problems in Mathematics, Physics & the Future of AI
Fields Medalist Terence Tao delves into some of the most challenging problems in mathematics and physics, such as the Navier-Stokes equations, the Poincaré conjecture, and prime number distribution (twin primes, Collatz). He explores the relationship between mathematics, physics, and engineering, discusses the nature of structure and randomness, and provides insights into problem-solving approaches. The conversation also covers the transformative potential and current limitations of AI in theorem proving and mathematical collaboration.
