Why HN links it
HN commenters link Jørgen Veisdal's Medium essays on the history of science, including one on mathematicians who walk while they think and one on the Einstein and Hilbert race. The comments only cite the posts.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
