The forum discussion centers on a potential proof of the ABC Conjecture, which is reported to be approximately 500 pages long. The article referenced is from ScienceMag and highlights that the proof has not yet been confirmed, indicating that the mathematical community will require time to evaluate its validity. Participants express admiration for the mathematicians involved in the verification process and speculate about Andrew Wiles' potential involvement in the discussion.
PREREQUISITESMathematicians, number theorists, and anyone interested in the latest developments in mathematical proofs and conjectures.
Jameson said:Did you guys hear about this? Sudharaka was kind of enough to let me know about this potential proof. http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2012/09/abc-conjecture.html?ref=hp an article about it. Apparently the proof is around 500 pages long so obviously the claim hasn't been confirmed yet and will take a while for the math community to comment on.
