The academic community remains unconvinced that the mathematical proof is correct.

Mathematicians are shocked that this paper got published

Math Habit

Eight years after it was shared online, a highly-controversial proof claiming to verify the abc conjecture is going to be published in an academic journal.

Mathematicians Are Shocked That This Paper Got Published

Among number theorists, this is high drama.

"I'm suddenly concerned that all of published math is wrong because mathematicians are not checking the details."

Mathematician: Everything we know about math could be wrong

Show Your Work

Mathematician Kevin Buzzard warns that the field of math could be full of nonsense, as many prominent researchers don't double-check others' proofs.

Mathematician: Everything We Know About Math Could Be Wrong

Too many mathematicians trust that proofs are correct instead of testing them.

Look, we've all failed tests before, but we didn't have top-notch Google engineers on our side.
