I've started my bachelor's at 35y, last year. Still waiting for grade on last exam, but it looks like after 4 tries (since 2008) I finally passed the first semester.
Quanta Magazine was already brilliant before, but this article has improved the way the cutting-edge work is presented acessibly to (relatifve) laypeople.
So grateful to the late Jim Simons for funding basic research and its popularization (and Quanta Mag.)!
Seriously, a well written article including the accessible explanations of his work. Plus, LoL funny. Thank you.
