The Riemann Hypothesis, Explained

String theory, heralded as a potential theory of everything, has been dominant in theoretical physics for thirty years with more scientific papers arising from it that any other theory. Eric Weinstein challenges the theory’s undue influence, urging its scientists to move on.

The Riemann hypothesis has tantalized mathematicians for 150 years. Unable to prove it directly, mathematicians have shown that they could cap the number of exceptions to it. “It’s a sensational result,” said Henryk Iwaniec. “It’s very, very, very hard. But it’s a gem.” https://www.quantamagazine.org/sensational-proof-delivers-new-insights-into-prime-numbers-20240715/ | Quanta Magazine
