After you chose your area of expertise and started vigorous research into it, you would not have the time to learn anything newly discovered far away from your own area, even if it sounded profoundly great. In your life, it happens that decades later, you are startled to see the very theorem you chose not to study appearing in front of you; not because you came back to that spot, but because it was naturally in your destination of research that you never realized. You are filled with happiness. Today I share this sense of happiness with you, about the geometry where the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$ is leading us to.
