Mathematician Who Made Sense of the Universe’s Randomness Wins Math’s Top Prize
Michel Talagrand took home the 2024 Abel Prize for his work on stochastic systems, randomness and a proof of a physics reaction that many experts thought was unsolvable
When I was in high school, a gamer-buddy and I would skip school to go to the base library, and we'd use dice to select a random book for one another.
We'd part company for an hour, go to our favorite comfy chairs in the library, and just rummage through the random books. Then we'd meet up and talk about it.
We only did it a few times, but, in terms of education, each of those days was worth more than a month of the school-days we skipped to do it.

LMAO! If only my real #life was so exciting. #Internet#minutia#randomness#querky#funny
