What happens after the Riemann Hypothesis is solved?
In mathematics, the Riemann hypothesis is the conjecture that the Riemann zeta function has its zeros only at the negative even integers and complex numbers with real part 1/2. Many consider it to be the most important unsolved problem in pure mathematics. It is of great interest in number theory because it implies results about the distribution of prime numbers. It was proposed by Bernhard Riemann (1859), after whom it is named. (straight from Wikipedia)
Many great mathematicians have worked on this problem over the past 165 years and the general consensus today is that we've made little progress.
We're here to solve the 2nd most difficult problem in mathematics: what happens after the 1st most difficult problem is solved? ¶
Finding the Riemann Solution may also reveal a way to find the factors of any large prime number. If this happens, the math involved could possibly be used to break almost all encryption in the world. Such a discovery could have catastrophic consequences if it fell into the hands of the wrong people. Therefore, what happens after the Riemann Solution is discovered needs to be managed carefully.
We believe the optimal path is something crowd-sourced using the principles of transparency and freedom of communication which successfully guide open source software development. Such a path has not been created yet, and the default "closed-source" paths in place now do not provide certain guarantees that would arise from an open discussion. There are other factors which ought be considered. In short, there are many variables at play, and thus solving this "2nd-most-difficult problem" is not going to be easy. That's what we're here to work on.
But not yet. We haven't even soft launched yet. This tiny single-page website was created as an early step in the process of forming a 501©(3) non-profit so we can properly accept donations and apply for grants, etc., in order to have the resources to meet some rather ambitious goals.
We can't wait to tell you about it, but all in good time, please.
Curious? Join our waiting list to be notified when we're ready to launch.
With thanks to Vladimir Ilievski who open sourced the python code.
