The original article compared Erdos to Euler. They are comparable only in sheer number of publications. Erdos was a nice and eccentric fellow and a competent mathematician who liked to solve specific problems with other colleagues . Erdos i

No. Are YOU kidding? Here it is the list of Erdos papers: https://users.renyi.hu/~p_erdos/Erdos.html Please list which papers would you put at the same level of the work of Grothendieck, Poincare, Cartan, Banach, Kolmo

Even more impressive for Euler. Most (not all) of Erdos work is considered of very limited quality, a little better than solving quirky problems in number theory or combinatorics. Euler on the other hand is a class on his own. Just look at

John is fantastic, not only a nice person with absolutely zero ego, he has brain and heart and he has such a deep love for science, a funny writer too. Anything that he writes (TWIMP,his diary,his blog Azimuth, n-category cafe, his book ) i

He can decorate his walls with printouts of the articles for all I care. The point I made is that the magazine is not longer a high-level general scientific magazine (what OP thinks about that publication), it has become a new Scientific Am

I suspected so. But all those objects are in this solar system.Brown dwarfs are sub-stellar bodies.

It means OP does not have the slightest clue of what he is talking about. I hope he is talking about trans-neptunian objects in THIS solar system.

I am going to be honest, these kind of articles are useless. 1. Make sure you understand the concepts 2. Mark what you dont know clearly 3. Write down what you know 4. Use 3 to find out 2. Oh gee, thanks! This is a more realistic approach.
