Can Wikipedia predict the future?
More accurately, is Wikipedia written by members of the Eternity?
I ask because History told in real-time is quite unusual and I confess it looks kind of weird. Ever heard of Grigori Perelman? According to his Wikipedia bio, on August 22nd 2006, the guy was awarded a Fields Medal (also known in the mass media as Nobel Prize of Mathematics).
So what? Er... August 22nd, 2006. Today! And no, it's not a typo: Just check the headlines of your favorite news site.
On a totally unrelated yet somewhat historical note, August 22nd 1998 was a rainy Saturday in Belgium. Laïlla Schriewer said Oui (I do) to Serge Wautier. Happy anniversary My Love!

A propos de Perelman, lire l'excellent article du New Yorker, qui explique un peu mieux le contexte que ce qu'on a pu lire dans la presse par chez nous.

"un peux mieux" !
Cet article nous détaille presque le p'tit déj' de chaque matheux de la planète plus ou moins concerné par "la Poincaré" :-)
Poincaré, ton univers impitoya-able !
Merci pour le lien. Très intéressant.
