Ideas, Comments, Exaggerations, Delusions, Rants, Inspirations, and Secrets. I like to show the heavenly in the ordinary. But sometimes, to echo George Orwell, "I write because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing." Sometimes.

Sony Diaries #998: Martin Hairer, Mathematician
It was both a pleasure and a privilege to have been asked to photograph Martin Hairer as the Guest Speaker at the 2017 Fields Institute Symposium. Martin Hairer is a mathematician who seems to have a direct channel of communication with an other worldly intelligence, on the same level as Beethoven, Newton, Mozart.
I don't understand the mathematics part of these talks but I can comprehend the real world applications of these concepts. This is best explained in Quanta Magazine. Delivered by a genuinely nice, approachable, self-effacing guy, his talk was at once incomprehensible and soothing.
The next day, Hairer gave a talk to students of Mathematics, from high schoolers to university professors.
held informal chats
The whole evening's energy was fuelled by the food of choice of mathematicians: pizza!
