Don't know if many here are interested on these scientific 'politics', but I'd say it's easier for him now, having published in the top papers in the past and being recognized to do this.

Us mere mortals have no such choice, I think.

Good man..

Most publications PIMP and vampire on their subjects, while producing nothing...

It's like Apple sucking on the neck of developers of apps...


There was also that russian guy who lived in poverty who solved one of the most difficult math problems and declined the prize / prize money.. can't remember his name...

Basically it was a big F--u from Mother-Russia... (http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/70bff581.gif)

Perelman, he solved Poincare's thing.

I agree, but again, new researchers can't do that. :|

according to my math guy, it's primarily because most of the problems left are too complex to solve alone, because there are necessary mathematical tools not yet invented..
