In the interview, he described his own mathematical theory behind how you can tell if a pen is perfect for calligraphy.

在采访中，他描述了自己的数学理论，关于如何判断一支钢笔是否适合写书法。

The mathematician James England has even developed a mathematical theory which states that life has to happen, that it's as miraculous as a rock rolling down a hill.

数学家詹姆斯·英格兰甚至创立了一个数学理论，用来说明生命是必然产生的，生命的产生就像岩石滚下山坡那样不可思议。

He is doing incredible work at taking a piece of mathematical theory and showing remarkable applications of it in new areas where we would think it doesn't belong at all.

他极其善于利用一些数学原理在新领域中展现出非凡的用法，而我们压根就想不到原理从哪来。

(Laughter) We can't deduce what is in the biosphere and will become, but we can make a mathematical theory of the statistics of the process.

（笑声）我们无法推断生物圈现在是什么以及将会变成什么，但是我们可以对这个过程的统计建立一个数学理论。
