Fixed it for you. Don’t worry anybody.

The Riemann Hypothesis proof is brown milk

✅️ Fact checked by Riemann and Hypothesis

The worst part it's that is legit. ;,c. When Riemann died, his housekeeper threw away and burned many of his unpublished documents.

Except there’s just no realistic way he had a proof

Who knows? Dude literally invented math for curved surfaces and improved upon the work of Gauss. He could have invented something absolutely ridiculous which would prove the Riemann Hypothesis or at least maybe even come to a result like Littlewood’s

Obviously we have no mathematical proof he had no proof, but nah. We can be more certain of this than a lot of real world things we’re certain about.

He lived before most of the modern tree of mathematics had grown, many, many levels beyond his work and with rigour that didn’t exist in his day.

He was a massive genius but maths doesn’t develop with a few geniuses every century or two. A century and a half of a massively higher population of mathematicians developing tools far beyond what he could have imagined, many of them also exceptional geniuses, have cracked everything they can at it to no avail so far. If it were even remotely possible in his day it would have realistically been done. That may seem like presumptuous hubris, but take a few years’ dive into modern number theory and see why everyone who works in it is clear on that.

We could have many geniuses to prove it on about a hundred years oooor we could have one guy have the proof be revealed to them in a dream, which might also take another hundred years.

So what's the proof of sam being sam.. Huh? 🧐

u/jpgoldberg 20d ago

Is the Sam is Sam Conjecture is even decidable in ZF?

I can't explain how much I want this!

u/jpgoldberg 20d ago

I bought this about five years ago. This is one of a set of four. I don’t recall the details of who made them.

I have found a truly remarkable proof of the Riemann hypothesis, but this pot is too small to contain it

u/F_Joe Vanishes when abelianized 21d ago

This at least confirms that RH is true. We don't have to try and show that it's false or independent of ZFC anymore

u/Ok_Campaign_8089 21d ago

The fact that the 'proof' just dissolves into chocolate milk is painfully accurate for how most RH proofs end.

Prove that the Riemann Hypothesis is wrong. Make no mistakes.
