On the other hand, he was quite old, had suffered for years from schizophrenia, and was undoubtedly NOT at the peak of his intellectual powers. Plus, rumors are easy to create when someone is dead and gone.
True, but you know what they say: where there's smoke, there's fire.
In real life, Nash suffered from acoustic hallucinations instead of visual hallucinations.
Interestingly, he was given the privilege that although he was suffering from schizophrenia, the chance to again surrender. His academic career was very strange, he did not publish any scientific and academic work for 40 years before receiving the award. (1994). The reason was schizophrenia. When asked about the way that solves the biggest problems of mathematics and economics, Nash said he "just had a vision and insight into the very core of the problem before it is checked that this solution is correct." Perhaps the vision continued and further? About the most difficult period of life Nash perhaps best illustrated by the moment when he was a colleague, also a respected academic, visited the mental hospital and asked him how he could believe that his aliens send messages.
The answer that got me impressed (since we are talking about the schizophrenic):
Quote from:
"Because my ideas about supernatural beings came in the same way as my mathematical ideas. So ... I understood them very seriously"
2009, in an interview, Nash talks about the concept of schizophrenia:
Quote.
Schizophrenia is a diagnostic term. The diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder is not a precise scientific term ... Different people behave differently, some of them have a typical schizophrenia. But if you would be able to look into their brains to see you that they all are very different to each other. "
Time will tell whether the rumors were true or not, I think the spread of these rumors Cedric Villani does not seek popularity or some attention, since it with his accomplishments and numerous awards today has more.
Is not it a little strange. that a police officer who came to the place of the accident stated that he thought that the couple was not tied?
He thinks? Hacking is "just" easier hurt, I do not know, too many "coincidences" are happening in the world ...
