This. Sage, sorry m8.

This.

People don't get that we already know that P != NP, we just can't prove it (yet).

That's a good question. It would need some strong responsible disclosure, given how it breaks most forms of cryptography. The damage done will be significant in any case, and you'd need to minimize that somehow.

>>58428537
If you know it, then you can prove it.

>>58428755
I know you're a faggot and I don't need to prove it

>>58428755
It might also just not be provable.
But we would need to prove that it isn't provable.
Still Godel's incompleteness theorem implies it is possible that it isn't provable.

>>58428810
Gödels incompleteness theorem doesn't say anything about absolute provability, just that any formal system can't be both complete and consistent at the same time. Just because something isn't provable in lets say zfc set theory, doesn't mean it's not provable in any formal system.

>>58428881
True, it is possible that P=NP isn't provable in any consistent system, though. Not saying that is true, but I'm just suggesting it as a possibility.

OP is 19 and thinks he solved p vs np

p=np
n=1
I solved it

>>58428979
True.

Set up some sort of high frequency trading thing on Wall Street.

>>58428979
I wonder if that could prove that that it was false if one could prove that the sum of all consistent formal systems was complete.

license it using a software patent and sell rights to everyone so you get a % of their profits. you would be killed and have your source code stolen within days, but imagine the glory you'd feel.

>what is p=0

What about N=PN?

>>58429584
p=np
p=1
n=1
p=np
wala!

Set N to 1.

when I had a lot more free time I tried coming up with a meta set theory that reasoned about the set of all set theories to try and find a proof for P=NP, I was pretty stoned out of my mind at that time though, and barely made any progress before getting distracted each time I came back to it.

Anyway P=NP is a good problem to sink your mind into if you're depressed and have nothing better to do.
