World Smartest Greedy Treasure

A Russian mathematician refused to reward one million U.S. dollars ( Approximately Rp9 billion ) because he considered himself not worthy to receive money itu.Dr Grigory Perelman ( 44 ) , so-called world's smartest man , living in a modest flat in St. Petersburg .

He was awarded one million dollars in March by the institutions from the United States, the Clay Mathematics Institute for solving Poincare conjecture , which has been a dizzying century mathematicians . Dr Perelman posted the solution on the internet .

He told the agency based in Cambridge , Massachusetts was that he refused the prize.

Perelman reason , as quoted by Interfax , he considered the contribution to the Poincare allegations prove nothing more powerful than the United States mathematician , Richard Hamilton , who first proposed the program for the solution .

Poincare conjecture relating to the forms which exist in four dimensions or more .

After the prize was announced in March , he said : "I already have everything I want. "

Four years ago, the math genius did not appear to accept the prestigious Fields Medal award from the International Mathematical Union for solving Poincare conjecture .

At that time he said : "I'm not interested in money or fame. I do not want on display like animals in a zoo . "

" I'm not a math hero . I'm also not too successful, that's why I do not want everyone staring at me. "

Neighbor , Vera Petrovna , said : " I 've been to his apartment and was stunned. He only has one table , benches and beds with dirty mattresses left by the previous owner - an alcoholic who sold the flat to him . We are trying to get rid of cockroaches in our block , but the insects nesting in his apartment . "

In 2002 , Perelman , then researcher at the Steklov Mathematics Institute in St . Petersburg , began posting his scientific work to solve the Poincare conjecture , one of the seven mathematical puzzles to solve each one million dollar prize from the Institute Clay.Berbagai stringent tests proved him right .

This topological puzzle basically states that any three - dimensional space without holes in it is equivalent to an area that stretches .

The riddle was already more than 100 years when Perelman memecahkanya - and can help determine the shape of the universe.

After the year 2003 Perelman stopped from Steklov Institute . mngatakan his friends that he had resigned from mathematics because the subject is too too painful to discuss.
