We Are Withdrawing Three Endings from Endings-500, Reaffirm Our Full Confidence in the Remaining 497
** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**
Today we are withdrawing three endings from Endings-500, our landmark repository containing the final ten minutes of 500 previously unreleased films
Fundamentally, problems in pure mathematics, such as the global regularity problem, serve a different purpose than immediately practical problems, such as that of finding a cure to a specific disease, or increasing the energy efficiency of some engine. (1/8)
In traditional mathematics (or "Math 1.0"), a breakthrough proof of a long-standing open conjecture generates a large amount of subsequent activity and excitement in the field. (1/15)
And our community will need to explicitly re-evaluate its criteria for education, publication, and career advancement, to reflect the "Math 2.0" era. (14/15)
