Mathematician Claims Proof of Connection between Prime Numbers

Mathematician Claims Proof of Connection between Prime Numbers
Update: looks like I didn't read a link on that landsburg page well enough. Mochizuki is relying on non-well-founded sets. The Axiom of foundation going out the window? That's going to be controversial.

Again, neat stuff happening here. It's going to be a while before the mathematical community is able to fully digest this (esp. since this is a brand-new theory).
So these philosophers were all like, "That Kant apply universally!" And then these mathematicians were all like, "Oh yes it Kan!"
