    Hey Lex! It would be difficult to do, but I would recommend you to invite Cedric Villani. He is a Fields medalist and a well knowned mathmatician. He is really interesting and was on Numberphile channel a couple of times.

      He has a great Royal Institution lecture on John Nash's theorems in geometry

      Cedric Villani would be great, he is such an interesting character.

    The unique factorization of positive integers into primes is also the reason why all musical tuning systems are approximate if they involve more than one key. A cycle of fifths (3/2^n) never meets up quite with a cycle of octaves (2^n) or a cycle of thirds (5/4^n).

    Keep up the good work. You seem to get more comfortable as a interviewer/host. Love to see that!

    Why am I all of a sudden interested in prime numbers first time in 40 years!

      Same here. Probably because we spend too much time on youtube and get exposed to things we may otherwise not be exposed to.

    Are you talking about distance... or similarity ?

    The conversation was interrupted, complex numbers do not have unique factorisation. A set of even numbers do not have unique factorisation.

    HI LEX,
    Like to say again: You Tube Will Rhee and choose the video which mentions Fermat . Afterwards think
    back to what your guests mathematicians had to say about FLT. HAVE FUN!

    I can pronounce the Formula for the proof of Fermath's Great Theorem:
    1 - Fermath's great theorem NEVER! and nobody! NOT! HAS BEEN PROVEN !!!
    2 - proven! THE ONLY POSSIBLE proof of Fermat's theorem
    3 - Fermath's great theorem is proved universally-proven for all numbers
    4 - Fermath's great theorem is proven in the requirements of himself! Fermata 1637 y.
    5 - Fermath's great theorem proved in 2 pages of a notebook !!!!!!!!

    Interesting, trying to really understand it is futile and only for the genious that don't have real life problems. I quit. Better to ask what one can do additionally by looking at something from the p-adic perspective
