...Nobel Prize-winning gem. They also claim that rogue scientists could praise and criticize research in an unfair, un-objective way. But copious empirical evidence indicates that open online communities—including those dedicated to scientific research—have an incredible capacity to self-regulate.Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman??s recent online publication of a proof of the Poincaré conjecture—a century-old question of fundamental importance in topology, the solution to which won Perelman a Fields Medal—is an iconic example of the unlimited possibilities in open online science. Perelman?...
...formidable. Far from “a marketplace of ideas,” open publication will create a morass from which science might not emerge. Results will be duplicated, communication retarded, and progress slowed to a standstill. Proponents of open publication who point to advances such as Grigori Perelman??s recent proof of the Poincaré conjecture, which was posted online instead of submitted to a journal, fail to realize that such instances are the exception rather than the rule. True, the traditional peer review process is not perfect. It delays the flow of information, can sometimes...
...available online. “My hope is that the apology and the retraction will be forthcoming and that we can all move on,” Yau said in the webcast, after briefly explaining his objections to the article. “I have always supported Perelman??s receipt of the Fields Medal.” After Yau’s short address, his lawyer spoke for about 30 minutes, first outlining Yau’s charges against the New Yorker as explained in the letter, and then taking questions from the people watching. At one point...
...however, is quoted by The New Yorker as saying that Perelman??s proof “was written in such a messy way” that it was incomprehensible. The Harvard professor is promoting another proof written by two of his protégés—a Guangzhou, China-based mathematician and a Lehigh University professor. Yau and his protégés say that their version—while influenced by Perelman??is a “self-contained and complete proof.” Perelman??s backers dispute that...
