I was in Paris four times and
four times I’ve seen this box that
for those who do not know it is the
freedom guiding the people of eugène
delacroix the first two occasions the
picture went completely unnoticed
I remember having been yes but without more
however the third and fourth occasion
I stayed I was absorbed watching him and
enjoying the moment that happened what
happened then between the second and
third visit that changed everything
well what happened something very simple
before going to the place on that occasion
I documented a little of what I was going to see
and of course when you know the history of
picture when you know that represents
real facts to the people of paris
rebelling against the efforts
absolutist brand carlos tenth
town of paris that in addition the picture
It represents as revealed in
all its transversality from the worker
the rich from the student to the poor
all united without any other way than
yearning for freedom and love for the country
which is precisely what it represents
that woman that on the one hand has the
tricolor flag and in another holds a
Weapon a weapon because it is the only way
What is left of defending what is
not his and if we put ourselves a little
let’s go a little more to the technical part
artistic
1 a little studying the picture can see
that feeling of stillness that you
fragile that delacroix gets
get show we see the population
restless but it gives the feeling that a
moment to another
that network that you can break and that
start to move towards us but
when you are able to perceive all of them in
the picture and you’re there in front of him
in the immense louvre then it excites
overwhelm well g
surely I will have lived situations of
that style many times in our life
when it has not returned museum that already
knows and is saying this time I’m going to
hire an audio guide I will join
this group of guided tour to
see what they say and the experience changed
completely
when he returns on a novel that already
you have read but this time someone is
lucky friend we all have to know
literature that tells you how to read
We are going to leave it at that experience
change completely
we can say then that the
beauty the degree of depth that
we implement beauty
It depends a lot on our knowledge
of what we are seeing then
of what I am going to talk about today that are
mathematics happens now what
same if you have not enjoyed them if not
you have been excited with them is
only because he had not come to
know the guide for the most
skeptics really
physiologically we are all
ready to enjoy the
mathematics
in fact this is an image of a
2014 study in which they evaluated how the
neurological response to beauty
mathematical and it’s exactly the same
than in other forms of beauty but
well I play with this is not enough
what are we going to see as an example
as well as in mathematics the
get a little closer the ideas change
much our perception
this is the identity of a leader for
many the equation beyond the
mathematics
please contain the excitement and by
favor nothing surely for many of
you then tell us nothing could
spend totally indifferent to this
question as I passed not one but two
times in front of delacroix’s painting
but I ma proposed and so
less our vision of them to a little
more little more friendly and for that we go
let’s change the third
known the history of the dream team of
basketball of the Olympic Games of
barcelona 92 that the olympic games
from barcelona 92 a very thing happens
important in basketball
It was the first time that the
national teams could present
professional players and united states
good are the Americans presented to the
best team in history ever so much
talent had been brought together in a
court is the initial quintet
repeated at the Olympics is
say the five elected of the team with
most talented in history
the ring because if we talk about a dream
team of mathematics
that would be euler’s equation are
the five most important numbers of
the mathematics put together to play
and he knows how difficult it is to handle
no egos of gamers as set by
was to play together in such a matter
simple as this is a simple sum
It’s 1
the veteran the first of the numbers
is the 0 that supposed a revolution in
mathematics the zero to follow with
the basketball analogy
the annual lord
of playing showed us important was
count up to the nothing good so that
osasuna has 1,500 2,000 years in the
number zero no more
we have the number pi which is the number
that square the circle does not and that
true is twice as old as the
number zero the number of euler the
most important number of the calculation that
the number is here the number
imaginary that arises in the
algebraic equations but that we
the engineers we have kidnapped and
we use in a lot of things
imaginary and practical is something is something
curious
Well the fact is that what I hope is
that this equation that in principle was
cold now at least the eyes
after all kinds of sensations
imagine that we have spoken two minutes
of her imagine what could come
to feel if we could understand it
in all its dimension but I’m not going to
spend all the talk talking about
issues because if you are not at risk of
that you leave here thinking what
many people believe that mathematics
they are equations situations more
situations and mathematics are not
ideas mostly without ideas
today we are going to talk about one of the ideas
that more than more capacity has for
show the potential of mathematics
let’s talk about the mathematical language
of the asymmetries in a site that I
I think it’s the best place in the world
where we can talk better days than a
telex event well the ideas as in the
matters as any discipline has
a story that the one with which the
accompany and help us understand
the best of this idea and began a
morning of May 1832
of course that of symmetry does not
lack that we believe too much time
I do not understand that the symmetry all all
we know what it is
We all know that what is transmitted
early this morning for May
1832 occurs one thing that is that in between
of one of a duel for the honor of the
young
a boy of only 20 years who
shows that the image
dies these young people of various balboa
the greatest creative genius of theories
mathematics
we are thinking how a boy of 20
years can do something that deserves such
cataloging
well yes balboa did I think that created
the mathematical language of
asymmetries
asymmetries that we all know
we all see that mirror symmetry
left to right in the taj mahal or
even between the bottom and
top thanks pond calm all
we also have that feeling of
harmony not that transmits beauty not
I need to get down too much on
the beauty of symmetry
the case is that evaluates did not discover his
his theory trying trying
describe nature not us
we face this equation and if it’s what
last one that is going to show us what
I promise
this equation is the fifth equation
degree in the nineteenth century was the no
goes over mathematics was what
everyone wanted to solve and balboa
with only 20 years he realized
something that nobody had seen before
the solutions of these situations
they have an intrinsic symmetry
as in this picture this image
we all see that if we turn a third of
turn this circle the image stays
just as they are or bats
marry another and we would not notice the
difference in the case of
solutions of this equation happens
Exactly the same is more complicated
explain the truth is that you do not put a
little technicians I think it does not deserve the
pain
the important thing is that you stay with the
idea that for mathematics
this equation and this box are
basically the same thing and there is a
of the great virtues that the
math seeing similarities between
things that apparently have nothing
that see the long remove everything everything
superficial all the makeup was going
to the European essence and give us gives us
many times lessons about
importance of prejudice and
first impressions that beings
humans we have so much tendency to
stay with them not very well we have
seen the potential it has when it
faces a performance like this one that
honestly we do not associate anything physical
does not have an associated physical reality
but where truly the ideas
of galúa have their maximum splendor
where where they give all their power is
when you apply to model the
nature because of course the ideas of
the symmetry and we all know that the
nature means act
it has very sharp symmetry in its DNA
let’s see it with two examples like
ideas of the dawn have allowed us to do
two of the great discoveries of the
physical
nowadays we know that space
little time is curved what it represents
this image and that are the bodies with
more to those who generate that
curvature this idea that which the
propelled be in 1915 is one of the
more creative ideas of that of physics
and it would not have been possible without the ideas
evaluates by accompanying a few years
has its creative process be in 1905
ten years before he published his theory of
the special special relativity because
number of cases was applied
special concrete and then he worked
hard to say good I’ll see if what
I understand so that this can be applied
in general I was not ten years
working
at the beginning after publishing the
first mathematical theory
they started playing with her and he said
something this one did not have hairs in the mouth and
had the authority to say it said
that since mathematicians have
I caught my theory and I do not understand nor
we are the region as it is the case is
that the years go by and this would be if
fighting with their theories and and
he ended up embracing the ideas of galúa and
it was these that guided their
incredible physical education because no
it can be said differently
asia is great idea so grateful
they were destined mathematics at the end
that rectified he went on to say that the
creative principle of science
there were the mathematics and this said
by a man who are famous his
quotes to estelle the most important thing the
greatest weapon that human being had the
creativity because society
mathematics but I think you stay
with the idea that they are ideas
past not that is the idea that he discovered
a 20 year old boy 200 years ago and
then the movie is more than
hundred and not just five years ago in
July 2012 at the cen the institute
of European nuclear physics that came out
in a presentation before not because
has its own terex event announced
to hype and saucer to the four winds
that they had found the boson of
higgs truthful because he finally because
so emphatic was finally because
it had been no less than half a century
since one a group of physicists in
the years
eta had postulated the existence of
higgs boson and once again what
allowed them to realize that from that
there had to be something there something that
we can not see it is that they do not go
to be able to detect up to 50
years was the ideas of galúa and how
these adapt to the symmetries that
have the equations of the of the
good particle physics we show
here the mathematics another one of your
virtues that is that ability that they have
to to expand intuition
at the end a theory a tool
but not a mechanical tool in a
robotic arm but something that has
been the fruit of our knowledge that
is actually a concept is capable of
generate knowledge for yourself and
tell us to emir here when you can
what’s down
maybe you’re going to need 50 years to
have the technical means to see it
but it’s there
well I think these two are these two
ideas show the potential that the
mathematics can have in physics
but it does not end here
sure that in a few years
we will have great
discoveries associated with the ideas of
balboa ideas ideas ideas we carry all
the talk talking ideas and is that the
mathematics are that ideas are ideas that
they are the reflection of the human condition
because in the end we are the ones who
we write them and nature
because they are one way or another where
we read them and if they are ideas that can
get excited as long as
we look at them under the shelter of a minimum
understanding so I want to take advantage
today this time to challenge us to
every one of you who seek
what can excite which
are mathematics or anything else and
that you do not persecute and if it is going to require
some effort will come to enjoy
the beauty in all its extension but
worth
the opposite is to walk the world
with a bandage that we ourselves
we have put is to resign
voluntarily to one of the aspects
most exciting of life and I think that
that’s something that at this point of the
real movie we can no longer
allow
thank you very much everyone
the cans
