sytelus poses a half-joking thought: what if the 3SAT saga ends somewhere where the constants are so large that P=NP is irrelevant at the scale of this universe — "nature's way of showing the middle finger to whoever came up with big-O." A classic complexity-theory quip about polynomial-time solutions being practically useless due to huge constant factors.
