1:13:34>> Fascinating. 1982 uh formulation of the geometrization conjecture. >> Yeah. Again, another one that I have no idea what it's about. So, I will just read it. William Thirsten formulated the geometrization conjecture at Princeton University and he won the 1982 Fields Medal. Something to do with a complete geometric taxonomy for all closed three-dimensional topological spaces. That sounds fascinating. And again, >> for the mathematicians, let us know below how we can find out more on the G formulation of the GC there. I'm just going to arbitrarily abbreviate it because that's probably what the cool
