I ain't got no crystal ball

Alexandre Grothendieck is God. Yes, I coined that term. I used to write it on blackboards back at FIU when I was getting my degree in mathematics. Grothendieck is a god of algebraic geometry, he pretty much revolutionized the subject with his insight. Allyn Jackson wrote a great mini bio on his life, its called "As if summoned from the void: the life of alexandre grothendieck". Read it if you want to know what im talking about.
