The 6th Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) has begun! Two hundred young researchers from 60 different countries have come to Heidelberg to learn from 33 Laureates. The event kicked off last night with a welcoming ceremony and dinner.
The buzz on Twitter this morning, if you missed it, was about whether Sir. Michael Francis Atiyah had solved the Riemann Hypothesis (one of the Millennium Problems).
Atiyah presented the Hypothesis and then in one brief slide showed his proof, which he claims solved the Hypothesis. Whether or not he did solve it, is up to our mathematician colleagues to tell us. None-the-less it was exciting to see a famous mathematician in his element. See the full video here.
All talks from the HLF will be live streamed and recorded. You can see them here. Continue to follow the conversations on Twitter.
