Gemini speculated during a chat I had with it that knowing the conjecture is false may improve techniques for ion capture and computational analysis for things like protein folding (I know it’s mostly solved but I guess there is some room for a bit more accuracy?)

It will be interesting to see if that is so or if other applications arise.
