90-year-old mathematician solves the problem he's been torturing his colleagues for 160 years

British mathematician Michael Attaiah has announced that he has found a solution to one of his colleagues with a headache for 160 years.

Attaiah made that announcement during the Heidelberg Laureate Forum event. Many mathematicians, however, are not optimistic.

The problem is known as Riemann's hypothesis. It was formulated in 1859, and since then the largest mathematicians of the time have worked for its solution.

Riemann's hypothetosis is about the distribution of prim numbers, i.e. Those who only share themselves and 1st. Solving this problem is not only an intellectual challenge but also an academic issue.

It's like an airport that's important to the international flight network.

Its solution would make it possible to understand other mathematical issues closely related to it”, mathematicians say.

They are a bit skeptical until the moment the scientific work is published.

“Michel Ayah is one of the greatest mathematicians alive

We would regret it if at 90 years of age, such an announcement would cloud his fame.

Depending on the outcome, it remains to understand whether this alleged achievement will prove that mathematical creativity does not fall short of advancing the age”, they say. (TemA TV)
