An incredibly brief history of Henri Poincaré! Per usual, there's not much math in this video, so just a heads up in the event you expect math-heavy.
Trying something new with the speed. I output the video at 1.25x my original recording, so if my voice sounds too strange, let me know!
Please forgive my pronunciations. French is especially difficult for me...

These brief histories are very informative. I love math but I don't want to spend a lot of time on any one mathematician. I'm fascinated how these men are solving problems and I don't even understand what the problem is. For foreign names I suggest using the conventional English pronunciation. We used to smile whenever the prof mentioned "Rudolf Lipschitz".

I make a draft doc containing info from the sources and then piece everything together in a cohesive script, filling in extra detail as needed if it wasn't initially clear in my notes (by researching deeper, of course!). I typically use online sources (like wiki, famousscientists, st-andrews) for the info. At least from this video, I'd recommend The Value of Science. Poincare's views were super interesting.

Do you take suggestions? :p If so, I would like to suggest Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. If you ever need any help doing this stuff, be sure to let us know. I'm sure some of the people watching would be happy to help, I know I would! I've been a part of communal initiatives like that before. We could set up a discord or something like it. Anyway, thank you for great content.

I've added Leibniz to my backlog. Surprisingly, I'd not added him or Newton. I simply had "Leinbiz-Newton battle" as an idea for a video... In regard to help, right now I'm okay, but I can certainly see myself needing some as the channel grows. I will definitely be keeping a discord in mind. I appreciate the offer of hands :)

in France l'École Polytechnique is considered as the best french engineering school : it is very prestigious though there's another university called ENS ( École Nationale Supérieure ) more focused on research where more specialised brilliant students ( such as in mathematics ) go to the best one of the ENS's schools is ENS ULM

Pkincare didn't develop general relativity, he did work that was related to special relativity. Although he was a great, his work there, compared with Einstein, was rather clumsy, and missed the mark, even after Einstein's publication, he continues to not quite understand the physics, i.e., the dissolution of universal time and simultaneity. That is why a patent clerk, rather than a renowned mathematician, was the creator of special relativity.

Another great example of how successful an ADD person can be when they are also gifted with higher intelligence. Though it is not always the case, I have noticed that ADD personalities tend to be visual thinkers as well. With topology being the greatest playground of all for exercising and testing the limits of ones ability to work out visual/dimensional problems. And the frontiers of science and mathematics providing endless and varied unsolved mysteries to grab the attention of the ADD puzzle-solving mind....

@daltanionwaves 3 года назад
The bee connection actually provides a comically perfect analogy, as in more recent times there was a study demonstrating ADD behavior in honeybees. Most worker bees will transport resources from one area until they are depleted and then stay at the hive unemployed, or return to the same depleted area relentlessly without success. While a smaller demographic of the worker population bumbles around the world not collecting resources and generally disliked by their peers. Until they stumble across a new area of bountiful bee-resources and head back to the hive to do a little dance alerting everyone else (haters included) to the new discovery, with the dance including the directions for finding it... And they are finally celebrated and loved by their comrades until the shine wears off and they are again seen as lazy wandering pointless adventure seekers blowing wherever the wind takes them.

This applies to all your videos: the music is TOO LOUD and too distracting. Classical ballades like these were never meant to be talked over - the dynamic range is too great and they have too much presence in the vocal range. At 8:00, I would reduce the volume by ~50%. You may want to put a slow-response compressor on the music so the louder parts are reduced more than the already-quiet parts.

As an MBTI personality Poincare was likely and INTJ why people type him as an INFJ when he and Nietzche are very similar as creative genius in attitude, habits, and general ways of thinking and acting is beyond me. He's has less in common with Wittgenstein or Ramanujan two creative geniuses that are likely INFJ.

His criticism towards Cantor's ideas doesn't give him a good chance on being infj. Also his favourite composer was anti-semetic and a thinker. His aptitude for engineering investigations suggests Te. And early speech in infancy (9 months), suggests he was a thinker. Children who speak early are usually thinkers, because they use their executive function prodigiously. These are some personal thoughts on why he's not likely infj.
