Thank you, Ned. That was a corker.

that article was so horribly vague.

that article was so horribly vague.

Clearly they cannot tell us the details yet, lest we all learn how to transcend space-time.

I was just reading something about the Riemann Hypothesis today, actually. I was reading the ever-heart-warming PostSecret website, and someone had sent in a message that read:
"I willingly withheld the greatest discovery in mathematics from the world...It is the solution to the Riemann Hypothesis...The Riemann Hypothesis is false. The prime number 2^13466971-1 is off the critical line."
It's probably just some kid with Wikipedia and an imagination, but still, maybe it isn't.

I remember being around for the ceremony after that guy S4rnak got inducted into the Academy. Maybe now that I am not in grad school, I will have time about these things.

chrisco the hypothesis doesn't apply to primes themselves right, but zeros of the zeta function anyway, i'm pretty sure?
