Incredible Day for Math

Someone finally proved one of these! The Poincar? conjecture has been resolved.

Cool....not that it means anything to me in real terms, but cool

That's kind of how I felt. The idea that people have been trying to do this for nearly a century is pretty amazing. Technology may aid a bit in solving one of these, but not all that much. It simply stumped people for that long!

Honestly, the thought that there are people who still have that sort of attention span is heartening. Kudos to the doc!

This might not have any application to us at the moment but i'm sure that this will be exceedingly useful for the next wave of physics and computer science/graphical applications.

Some developer will incorporate it into Final Fantasy XXV! :tongue1:

Doubtful, the math will probably take at least a year to create an efficient algorithm to be produced for games of current systems. Maybe the next Avatar movie might use this to create even more realistic IMAX 3D movies.

Lol... I think they're up to XV or so, so XXV will be awhile!

Whoops didn't notice that, Too many FFXYZ games out to count anymore.

I'm guessing that the video game isn't what Poincar? originally had in mind! lol

 

[Killerdrgn]

Maybe it was....

I am just kidding of course.
