So many AI generated channels on this guy. Glad we found an older video that is by a real person

Seems like he was a great and smart man who tried to bite off more than he could chew.

Amazing. I met E. Wigner briefly circa 1983 and have a brief anecdote about our encounter. I had no idea at the time that he knew or studied with D. Hilbert. I related my anecdote to the project manager for the translation of all of Einstein’s papers at Princeton and he was amused and entertained by it in a kind and jovial way

That was not a brief history at all, for the total of 22 minutes long on this mathematician monster. it appears short but you have given us everything, I thank you.

Great video! Just one thing: the continuum hypothesis ist solved, as it can not be derived from ZFC, this is independent (I think Gödel showed this)<br><br>Edit: It was Cohen

This video is chock full of important references to books, published papers and history, for instance Léopold Kronecker being merciless in his criticism of Georg Cantor’s work. Today, we are much more adjusted to the concept of infinity containing and covering other infinities, along with the visible universe being much much more vast than ever expected in the early 1920s, and the existence of an even larger unexplored and invisible vast portion of it
