Besicovitch sets <-> needle turning

I can't understand how it should be able to turn a needle in the depicted Besicovitch sets ... or, if this is not possible, what would be the connection to the Kakeya problem. Could this be added? -- Paul Ebermann (talk) 16:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re-Added LInk

I just reverted the removal of the link in this article. Yes, it's a personal website, however, it's the personal website of Terry Tao who is /was a published author dealing with mathematics. This author appears to be notable and has been published since the 90's. Appears to be okay in this sense. Feel free to revert if you disagree - I won't war.

A published author dealing with mathematics is indeed an accurate description of a Fields medalist. XDDD Scineram (talk) 21:04, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
