 For the sake of those of us with limited access to the Internet at the
 moment (say, we're behind a corporate firewall, or our browser has just
 exploded) or simply don't like clicking on mystery links until we have some
 idea of what the link is about, could you give us a two sentence summary
 that explains why it's relevant to Python?

It's a link to a programme
titled "The Great Math Mystery -- Is math
invented by humans, or is it the language of the universe?" from Nova.
Nothing very Pythonesque.
