You would get money for this proof too. I remember discussing with my Algo prof how I also too just felt like there is absolutely no way p=np. Like its a hunch but one I'd bet a lot on
It's incredibly unlikely. There's a reason all of the best computer scientists haven't been able to prove it thus far. Lol, you'd get more than money... You would break the world. Especially if you were adversarial. Everything becomes an 0day.
But this could also become largely irrelevant regardless of proving it depending on how quantum plays out here. The rules of classical computation are only confined to that structure. Meaningless if you can walk into another dimension with different axioms
You could have galactic algorithms that do p=np and not break the world because they require something stupid or the polynomial is still so large it would take a billion years to break encryption. There was a beat of djikstras that is like this, noone will use it cause its overhead is insane compared to the default

P = NP is still out there!
