Riemann Hypothesis: Will it Ever be Proven?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the Riemann Hypothesis and whether it will ever be proven, with participants expressing varying opinions on the timeline for a potential proof. One user confidently predicts it will be proven by 2072, while others suggest it could take up to 1000 years. There is mention of a recent proposed proof, though confusion arises regarding its details, with one participant mistakenly referencing the Poincaré conjecture. Some believe that advancements in physics, particularly from string theory, may eventually lead to a solution. Overall, the conversation reflects a mix of optimism and uncertainty regarding the future of the Riemann Hypothesis.

Just an opinion question, do you think that the riemann hypothesis will ever be proven? If so, how long do you think it will take?

Yes! It will definitely be proven by 2072.

+ or - 0.21 years? :wink:

Don't know, and don't know. Probably yes, and probably within 1000 years.
 
Didn't somebody have a serious proposed proof earlier this year? Whatever became of that?
 
They did? I must have missed that...

All I have heard is an improved test to prove a number is a prime number.
 
I think he means the Poincare conjecture?
 
Ooh, dumb me. Of course I did, sorry.

On Riemann, I think it's at least even odds that the answer will come out of physics. The string folks are doing some very subtle things now, and remember monstrous moonshine.
