Beating yourself up over making progress makes no sense. Be happy you were able to do it in the end. Dumb frogposter.

This is hardly right. If this demotivates you, slow it down. Actually the effort you made so the theorem really made you think, will actually help you understand better later topics actually.

This happens to everyone who tries to prove something (personal experience as well).

It's not trivial but today we have all kind of proofs for this.

>>8539815
what was the proof?

>>8539815
I wonder what is worse: to not solve or to solve trivially.

Imagine the Riemann Hypothesis. It has been up for hundreds years. Millions of people have worked hard on it for the million dollars and all have missed out on it.

Now imagine some fucking engineer signs up for complex analysis thinking it is about "complex" (in the normie sense) circuits or some bulshit. Gets in, almost fails but passes with a low C like a faggot. Then, with his mediocre knowledge he reads about the riemann hypothesis and starts to think about it and then he finds one detail, this one little minuscule detail that everyone had missed because no one was as dumb as this engineer was to pay attention to something so small, but in the end this allows for an easy proof, almost implied by the definition of the Zeta function, with no leg work required. The guy talks to the math department at his uni and he publishes a half page paper with the proof and then gets approved to get the million dollars.

The moment that shit gets announced literally every person with a math PhD will be on suicide watch and some may even kill themselves so what would be better:

For the RH to be a really trivial conjecture and proved as one, or for it to be never proven so that no one kills themselves?

Those words don't even make sense in that order. Please leave this board until you learn to communicate your ideas in a coherent manner.

Also, don't try to contradict other posters just because they didn't say something negative.
