Galois has to have one of the tuffest mathematician lore of all time dawg >fail math exam at 16 bc examiners cant follow your proofs >submit insane papers to academy but they lose the manuscript twice >get rejected by basically every institution >join the artillery division of a revolutionary group >fall in love with some random girl >gets called out for a duel >writes down a paper that basically shapes modern algebra the night before and write “I have no time” in the margins >gets shot and dies unknown at 20 years old (hyperstitiously called out his own end years before) >it takes decades for anyone for his writings to be published and a few more decades for anyone to actually understand them >basically founded two entire fields of mathematics, solved a 350yo open problem >has an entire wikipedia page named “List of things named after Évariste Galois” insanely hard
