  1. Just read the wiki page. Good stuff, exciting.
    Man….people we gotta donate to wiki. I just got all the math and everything I needed for this topic lol.

    • The thought is not very appealing to me. In the german wikipedia administration, there are a lot of very radical leftist people (almost compareable to the stasi) that discredit certain people and destroy their life with unproven statements.
      So rather not that good idead for germans.

    • None of them are perfect. There are always trolls & idiots who deface articles, either out of malice, greed, or ignorance, but in the end, it is as credible as & more comprehensive than most of the internet in my opinion.

  2. I’ve subtitled this video into Arabic for TED. I’m wishing to be useful for all Arabic audience as well as people speak Arabic. Have a nice watching!

    • Ayman…
      لقد قمت بترجمة هذا الفيديو إلى اللغة العربية من أجل TED. أتمنى أن أكون مفيدًا لجميع الجمهور العربي بالإضافة إلى أن الناس يتحدثون العربية. هل لديك مشاهدة لطيفة!
