After publishing the 2003 proof for one of the most feared theorems of the past hundred years...Grisha Perelman retired and refused the highest award in mathematics—a Fields Medal. In 2010, he declined the $1 million Millennium Prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute.

"I am not interested in money or fame. I do not want to be on display like an animal in a zoo... I am not a hero of mathematics. I am not even that successful." x

"I have published all of my calculations. This is what I can offer to the public. It's all there—let them go and read about it... If the proof is correct, then no other recognition is needed." x

A Four Dimensional Calabi-Yau Manifold, also known as a K3 Surface

Since Shing-Tung Yau's 1978 proof of Eugenio Calabi's 1954 theorem for a 6–Dimensional Complex, Compact Kähler Manifold, there are thought to be 10⁵⁰⁰ surfaces of C-Y Manifold flux compactifications.

The partial differential geometry of String Theory points directly to a quintic threefold within the known collection of C-Y sets, which is the exact topology that completes their theory of quantum supergravity.

Today, String Theorists are actively looking for this precise match in polytope databases such as PALP —created by Maximilian Kreuzer.
