The next pillar

To create a pillar that shines light
and becomes the "monumental" truth -
is not a "volition-based" task,
nor it is a "reserved-for-genius" task either.
So, what is it then?
What distinguishes Perelman's proof
from countless other proofs?
What distinguishes a big story 
from countless other stories?~
What distinguishes a 2-page worth of wisdom
from numerous pages of BS and blabbering?

The question. The precise question that
captures the complexity that needs to be resolved.

Those universal questions, like Halting problem,
or that of determinacy versus randomness that confuses everyone.
The philosophical questions that trouble every mind.
There certainly are more questions to find, 
that the questions left unanswered.
To frame a "great" question and to attempt to answer it is difficult.
To find "conjectures" and to attempt to answer them is difficult.

There's more in science than to answer questions.
It is to imagine a new realm of ideas,
ask questions that fall in those realm,
and then attempt to answer them.
