>For number theorists, 2012 was like a roller-coaster ride. Renowned mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki of Kyoto University in Japan published a proof of the abc conjecture, one of the most important open puzzles in the field.
>But disillusionment quickly set in: Mochizuki had spent 20 years single-handedly developing no fewer than 500 pages of a completely new formalism that other experts needed to decipher. In the past decade these experts have been gnashing their teeth at his proof. Even several conferences could not clarify the status of the abc conjecture.
>To change that, Nobuo Kawakami, founder of the Japanese media and telecommunications company DWANGO, has offered up to $1 million in prize money to the first person to write a paper that shows an inherent flaw in Mochizuki’s proof.

Shinichi is offering 1 million dollars to anyone who can find a mistake in his proof.

Hello,
I am very shy and want to explain some math here to you men. Please bear with me. The fact is anything is in an unknown state unless we tray and do something with or to it, so when we perform a calculation we must always perform the calculation with each variable positively and negatively signed in every combination. This is in fact why in our universe the equations for gravity and electo magnetism can seem so similar as the effect of squaring, This is also how the universe is actually nothing or summates to nothing. If you examine what I am saying here you will see. Thank you.

So
X^2=4 (X =-2/X=+2)
Ω =+/-
Ω X^2=4
So for example
y = a( x – h) 2 + k
becomes
Ωy = Ωa( Ωx – Ωh) ^2 + Ωk
5! = 5x4x3x2x1 = 120
Or
00001
00011
00111
01111
11111
10000
11000
11100
11110
etc
So for example
Ωy = Ωa( Ωx – Ωh) ^2 + Ωk
-y=-a(-x- (-h))^2 +-k
-y=-a(-x- (-h))^2 +(+k)
-y=-a(-x- (+h))^2 +(+k)
-y=-a(+x- (+h))^2 +(+k)
-y=+a(+x- (+h))^2 +(+k)
+y=+a(+x- (+h))^2 +(+k)
etc
This gives you what the parabola actually looks like, much more like a self negating funnel in fact!

The problem is that his proof uses a ton of "nonstandard" language which makes it extremely time consuming for a mathematician to examine it. It's like he doesnt actually want other people to read the proof when he did shit like that.

Scholze found a flaw in the proof which he believes cannot be fixed, rendering the whole thing moot. People trust scholze, but the reason why more people haven't echoed Scholze is the fact that the proof's language is so impenetrable.

>> No.15663419

>>15663150
It can be helpful to use new language if it abbreviates or consolidates an existing language and if the new language can be unfolded back into the old language with no gaps in logic or meaning. The proof doesn't explain how to properly connect its new language to any old language, which makes it trivial and useless, even if the intuition behind the proof might be absolutely valid.

>> No.15663525

>>15663419
nice insight/post. Reading Scholze's posts, the proof does not explain how some "objects" come out to be and Mochizuki basically replies "it's obvious".

That has literally happened for every single breakthrough in history. A flaw was discovered in Wiles' first FLT proof within a few days, and then he spent 2 years fixing it. It takes way longer to invent something than to evaluate it. You are not a smart person.
