Yeah, well, paper sucks.

No mathematician today doesn't have access to a computer. Just fold the proof to some appropriate coarse level by default, and let the reader expand any part they want to read. It's not like our computers had any meaningful limit on how big a mathematical proof could be.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoI think the limit may be the author, not the tool the author writes with.
- loup-vaillant 8y agoHistorically, there was always a limit to how big a paper could be to make it into a journal. Papers that aren't meant to make it into a journal are often way bigger.
