Mathematica(@mathemetica):Maryna Viazovska (Ukraine/Switzerland) She solved the sphere-packing problem in 8 dimensions. What’s the densest way to pack identical spheres? In 8D, the E₈ lattice is optimal. Her proof used modular forms with Fourier analysis. (Kepler’s 3D version took 400 years!)

Math isn't escape. It's the map through the madness.
