Ever wondered what stacking oranges has to do with data encryption? Turns out, everything.For over 400 years, mathematicians struggled to prove the best way to pack spheres in space. Even Isaac Newton had theories but no proof. Then, Maryna Viazovska cracked the code—solving one of math’s oldest mysteries in just a few elegant pages.
Her breakthrough wasn’t just about stacking fruit—it has massive real-world impact. Her discoveries are revolutionizing data compression, improving security in cryptography, and even offering insights into quantum physics.
This episode explores the genius behind her work, the mathematical beauty of high-dimensional spaces, and why her Fields Medal win was a historic moment. Get ready for a mind-bending journey into a problem so simple it fooled mathematicians for centuries—until Viazovska solved it.
