That was a great explanation; even I could understand it, and to me mathematics is like giving birth: it looks painful and messy, I'll never completely understand it and I'd rather leave it to people who seem to know what they're doing anyway. I've already dicked around in that whole area and that's the limit of my abilities.

Also: curses, beaten to the Numberphile card!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
