What was that famous math dissertation that simply gave a half-page counter-example for a certain well-established conjecture?
It's been decades since I saw it and all I remember that it featured Ω in the proof.
- Loughla 3y agoThat's just such an academic ballsy move. You all have your three hundred page defense of your research. Bah. Here's my half page massive Dick measuring proof.

- titanomachy 3y agoI asked ChatGPT and it very confidently confabulated something about László Babai.
- pipework 3y agoSurely you mean Cleo, of math.stackexchange fame? https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/562694/integral-int-11-frac1x-sqrt-frac1x1-x-ln-left-frac2-x22-x1/563063#563063 https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/562694/integral-int... edit: stackwhatever, sorry
- solardev 3y agoMy god, what am I looking at? Is this what mathematicians do all day? My brain hurts.
- itronitron 3y agoThis seems to be leaning more towards applied mathematics rather than pure math.
- solardev 3y agoI don't know enough math to understand the difference. I'm just glad there are people way smarter than me able to work in that field.
