Will unlock the secrets of the universe and make all the panties around you automatically wet once you solve it.

Navier-Stokes is a meme

Numerical methods are all you'll ever need

I think the Riemann hypothesis. There are surprisingly many results that follow from it and most people assume it is probably going to turn out true, yet no one really knows.

Exactly this.

You have to be retarded to believe a nonsense garbage text mess of symbols proves "1+1=2"

1+1=2 cant be proven by text and symbols. It can be proven with experience and observation.

I remember when I was a kid I heard about this through numberphile and now in analytic number theory perfect numbers were discussed briefly and I can't stop thinking about them.

Why are they so hard to grasp? Why can't I characterize the properties of odd perfect numbers other than the trivial ones (must be odd, must be perfect). It makes me angry.

that pic is no proof

but its something you could show an alien to explain why 1+1=2

>>8862770
>>8862786
Either of these

That's the definition of a postulate. That's what postulating means.

>>8864522
What do some of those symbols mean? I'm not familiar with a lot of the notation

that [math]0\neq 1[/math]

>>8862146
this statement is false

>>8864788
It's the notation used on Russel's principia mathematica, I think wikipedia has it in a list somewhere.
