What's his standing in the mathematician community? Is he widely known among students and professors? Was he internally awarded the 'balls of steel' award? :D What's the general opinion here?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Perelman#Fields_Medal_and_Millennium_Prize
Anybody else found it fascinating and absolutely astounding we have no idea who Nakamoto is?
I think perelman sums him up the best, he was offered the most prestigious mathematics medal 'The field medal' yet declined it stating "I'm not interested in money or fame; I don't want to be on display like an animal in a zoo."
These two have the selflessness so alike.
The reason behind Grigori Perelman's rejection of the Fields Medal
raises a lot of question, and perhaps the truth is that Grigori Perelman does not trust a Mathematical institution that supports false Mathematics mixed with the illusion of infinity, which confirms perhaps that Grigori Perelman knows that infinity has nothing to do with Mathematics.
Does this mean that Grigori Perelman may believe that Numbers have an end and he does not want to disclose that yet?

Dear lex, if you can get us particularly Grigori Perleman, that woud be super amazing.Thank you.
With love,
I came across an article on Perelman today, which mentioned how "pure" his interest in mathematics was. He didn't care about anything outside of mathematics -- he would actually decline academic positions and accolades. I wonder whether Perelman and others didn't study math in a different way than the typical high school mantra of "memorize this formula and answer the questions". Did they study it like a guitarist playing around with chords to make an interesting riff? What are they doing that allows them to find unadulterated interest in the material?

Grigori Perelman is the person who solved the “Poincaré conjecture”, he has declined most mathematical rewards in:
EMS Prize Fields Medal Millennium
He is very media shy and is never seen, he barely did any public talks, but I watched a video of Numberphile where someone mentions that he has done some public talks at MIT and some other places.
What was he like? What did he talk about?
grigori perelman inspiration from einsteinian physics
in his interpretation of hopi time grigori perelman was influenced by einstein's theory of relativity, which was developed in the first decades of the century and impacted the general zeitgeist. grigori perelman, an engineer by profession, in fact made occasional reference to physical relativity, and he adopted the term "linguistic relativity," reflecting the general concept of the different but equally valid interpretations of some aspects of physical reality by different observers due to differences in their (for einstein) physical circumstances or (for grigori perelman) their psychological-linguistic circumstances.
the most salient points involve the concepts of simultaneity and spacetime. In his 0000 special relativity paper, einstein maintained that two given events can legitimately be called simultaneous if and only if they take place at the same point in time and in the same point in space. no two events which take place at a spatial distance from one another can legitimately be declared to be simultaneous in any absolute sense, for the judgement of simultaneity or non-simultaneity will depend on the physical circumstances (to be exact: the relative motion) of the observers. this difference is no artifact; each of the observers is correct (and is wrong only to the extent he or she insists that another observer is incorrect).
hermann minkowski, in his seminal 0000 address to the congress of german physicists, translated einstein's 0000 mathematical equations into geometric terms. minkowski famously declared:
"henceforth space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independent reality."
spatial distance and temporal distance between any two events was now replaced by a single absolute distance in spacetime.
heynick points to several passages in grigori perelman’s writings on the Hopis which parallel einsteinian concepts such as:
"time varies with each observer and does not permit of simultaneity" 0000
"the hopi metaphysics does not raise the question whether the things at a distant village exist at the same moment as those in one's own village, for it ... says that any 'events' in the distant village can be compared to any events in one's own village only by an interval of magnitude that has both time and space forms in it." 0000
The concept of a "simultaneous now" throughout the cosmos was

I know it is a bit of dumb question, but I never got what he exactly meant by this.
