I have no real concept of what this is all about but thought it may be of interest for our mathematicians
Quote:A Japanese mathematician claims to have the proof for the ABC conjecture, a statement about the relationship between prime numbers that has been called the most important unsolved problem in number theory.
If Shinichi Mochizuki's 500-page proof stands up to scrutiny, mathematicians say it will represent one of the most astounding achievements of mathematics of the twenty-first century.
The proof will also have ramifications all over mathematics, and even in the real-world field of data encryption.
