Once seen as “impossible”, the solution should now unlock answers to a slew of other difficult problems that had seemed completely out of reach. “The paper is perhaps the biggest breakthrough in mathematics of… This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up #Kakeya #conjecture #Amazing #spinning #needle #proof #unlocks #world #maths This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up 0 Quote Link to comment https://hopzone.eu/forums/topic/239093-kakeya-conjecture-%E2%80%98amazing%E2%80%99-spinning-needle-proof-unlocks-a-whole-new-world-of-maths/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
