Poor Grigory might regret not making the publication anonymous now that he is being harassed by those parasites (e.g. those news reporters in the youtube video.)
Truly obscene video of him being stalked.
A lot of people do not understand someone wanting to be a recluse. In my environment there are some introverts and not being one I've been told I make them uncomfortable by not understanding their space.
My thoughts exactly. I was shocked to see that video; it is completely not necessary for the context of the article and seems to be added so the whole article did not consist of a few lines of text.
Was that a lottery ticket he bought in the store? It would totally blow my mind if it was.
(On the other hand, I'm now feeling a bit dirty for having watched that awful stalking video)

I thought the explanation of the conjecture was quite good, but I already know about it. I'd be interested to know if others here found it enlightening. Or not.
Not much, imo. This is like science on TV in general: entertaining, shallow, and so long that you lose track of the subject. It could have been explained in one minute with 5 lines of text and two figures.
