If truth will kill them then let them die

@KarimAttal45765 @garvvee another is the Unit Distance Conjecture

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@asanso you can’t just drop a number that big and not say where it came from ffs 😂

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@chloeallegra228 @DiracDeltaFunk @DanielleFong @RadishHarmers “[maybe] only one family”

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@lost__physicist if any mathematical ontological argument is forced to be refined, you just end up with a known-invalid ontological argument instead of an invalid-but-not-known-invalid ontological argument 😅

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@stokhastik no dude

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@chloeallegra228 @DiracDeltaFunk @DanielleFong @RadishHarmers There is absolutely no reason to believe that that infinite family contains all the solutions

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@k_sonin many problems in number theory can be stated in elementary terms. for example, the complex generalisation of Fermat’s Last Theorem: do there exist positive integers a, a’, b, b’, c, c’ such that (a + a’ i)^n + (b + b’ i)^n = (c + c’ i)^n for some n>2?

@mouse_math because the electorates vote in corruption, hypocrisy, and abuse of power

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@0mn1ac @b_n_d_l_e yes, the Jacobian Conjecture has now been refined to the Planar Jacobian Conjecture :)

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@b_n_d_l_e I see. Personally I’d argue that all Millennium problems, all Hilbert problems, all Landau problems, all Smale problems etc. are among the main conjectures in math. I’d put the Jacobian conjecture in the top 50 or so conjectures, & there are thousands & thousands of conjectures!

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@LabKeith @d_r_o_n_e I already told you that 0 is not generally not considered a natural number - that’s why the article doesn’t say that

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@b_n_d_l_e (Smale’s problems are a list of math problems for the 21st century, directly inspired by Hilbert’s problems for the 20th century)
If youre saying few mathematicians care abt the Jacobian conjecture, to me it seems youre implying few mathematicians care abt all/most Smale problems

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@b_n_d_l_e “some bullshit that <5 people on the planet care about”

it’s a Smale problem…
are Hilbert problems “some bullshit nobody cares about” too??

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@YongxinChen1 “X is not Y—it is Z.”

nice try 🙃

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@Musingsonmath No because the calculations that confirm it were given along with the announcement (the shitpost tweet 😅), and can be checked even by an amateur

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@llobotomisateur @sophieisawitch that’s exactly the distinction that the OP was getting at though

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@LabKeith @d_r_o_n_e Someone (you) should actually read the first sentence in the wiki article 😅

(No shade - it happen to all of us sometimes xD)

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@Bobliuuu Understanding a (dis)proof of a conjecture/theorem is completely different to understanding the statement!

[gems_paws @schweingehtbree]

@peligrietzer it’s not just a quirk of yours, don’t worry.
I’d say that liking sport roughly correlates with how “traditionally social” one is, and there are many many untraditionally social (e.g. academically social) and antisocial people who couldn’t care less about sport, myself included
