What do u think?
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
I once picked up a book on the Riemann Hypothesis and couldn't even understand the first page. LIttlewood said "I can't see any reason why it would be true." John Nash went nuts trying to solve it.

My pet theory is that Universes in which the Hypothesis is true are of probability zero. We just happen to live in this infinite coincidence. :-)

But if Fermat's Last Theorem can be proved then anything is possible.
 
Sorry, my crystal ball is having major surgery at the moment.

Since no one knows exactly what its internal processes are, the prognosis is grim. :cry:

I'l get back to you if it survives.

If you find an answer before I get back to you, please let me know so your problem can be removed from the "To Do List."

Thank you,
Tom 🤡

Kurt Gödel disagrees.

Such speculation is pointless. This thread does not reach PhysicsForums quality standards. It will now be closed.
