#GrigoriPerelman 🇷🇺 proved the #PoincaréConjecture 20 years ago, which was one of the 7 #milleniumproblems in #mathematics. 🧮 He declined a series of awards though, incl. the #FieldsMedal. 🥇

The Poincaré conjecture is "a central problem both in maths and physics because it seeks to understand what the shape of the universe can be," said
