Solving the Bonnet Problem (2023)

JustWatch

The documentary "Solving the Bonnet Problem" follows the work of three mathematicians as they collaborate to solve a long-standing geometrical problem proposed by Pierre Ossian-Bonnet. Alongside their work, the film explores the lives and contributions of Bonnet and his contemporary Gaston Darboux, as well as the history of French mathematics in the 19th century. Captivating computer graphics help unravel intricate concepts and make them accessible to all.

00:00You know the intrinsic geometry and you know the extrinsic geometry.

00:05Is that enough to determine the surface?

00:08This is a classical Bonaire problem.

00:11The question is whether they exist Bonaire pair.

00:13It does remain an open question until very recently.

00:20Because it's too hot, you see?

00:30This is my favorite Paris cemetery.

00:35The curvature lines of Darbou are never closed.

00:44This is mathematics, you cannot tell.

00:46Yes.

00:47It might be five minutes, might be five years.

00:50It seems that Bonaire do not exist.

00:55The policeman thought that Sophie was a spy.

00:58There are many things that people knew and don't know anymore.

01:06So these guys don't know this yet.

01:12It's an art object, but also to drink tea, yeah?

01:15Yeah, it's great.

01:16And the fact that compact Bonaire pairs exist might open the door and there are lots of them.

01:21Way more than anybody would have ever guessed.

01:29minute, time.

01:31It's great.

01:33Yeah.
