Rumors swirl that the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture may have been proven, P/NP still far off
_onionesque · x · 2026-09-11
Rumors are circulating that the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture may have been proven (in context, likely tied to recent AI-assisted math results). The author says that would be exciting if true and hopes the proof holds up.
The author also judges that P/NP won't be proven anytime soon, while BSD "could happen sooner rather than later." All currently unverified.
