      To know the truth about this person, read the autobiography of his teacher, Alexander Grothendieck, "Harvest and Seeds"... You will conclude that he is nothing but a fraud who made fame through the efforts of others...

    This is the interview of my life. I read this interveiw as an article in the Notices of AMS. The words 43:40 were so decisive. I decided to quit my job and go back to resarch. Thank you so much again for uploading. I am so happy to hear Dr. Deligne talking in his own words.

    What else do you expect from someone who had Alexander Grothendieck as his Doctoral Advisor?!

    • @aminsellami5119

      At the same time, Alexander Grothendieck mentioned him in his autobiography, "Harvest and Seeds"... and revealed his truth to the mathematical community.

      Grothendieck said in Récoltes et Semailles that Deligne was the most talented mathematician he ever the met but we also know what he says about him next anyway this is not the place for such things. Deligne is one of the Greats for sure

    All mathematicians told that trisecting angles are impossible! I am Taha M. Muhammad telling "It is possible!". All can look at my trisecting invention "Taha's Geometry Theory" Step 1 - step 2- step 3. May be you have no idea about steps. Shortly, all of professors even honorable Einstein wanted to think to divide an angle directly into 3, but my theory is you are at ground level then think up tp one step on stairs, then go to and relax at step 3. UA-cam is showing you how I trisect angles(above 0 to 360) degrees. Thank you for Universalities and math professionals who ignored my Qs and e-mails about trisecting. I thing may age is 76, poor, no job, and not famous then told "Who is this needs to trisect angles and Einstein did no do it!"

      Dear Sir. It has been proved algebraically that it is not possible via Galois theory. It is quite elementary and therefore also true (easy to check the proof). They did not answer your mails because of your background, but by the very fact that the trisection of angles is evidently not possible.
