If there's one thing that history has taught us, regardless of which field, it's that anything we manage to answer raises at least half a dozen other questions.

If there's one thing that history has taught us, regardless of which field, it's that anything we manage to answer raises at least half a dozen other questions. Saying that math, of all fields, is running out of problems is one of the most absurd statements in this day and age. I was blown away by the capabilities of dumb SVMs in university and today SVMs look like a child's play - just over a decade later. For as long as humanity has existed, whenever we feel like we've reached our peak, something happens and completely shatters our understanding. Say we have prime numbers and their occurrence is completely unpredictable - the same way Aristotle was convinced that objects come to a rest because they get tired. It's not a specific branch of knowledge, it's an outrageous claim like many have already pointed out. Could it be that math is running out of problems? Yes - in the same way that the universe might vanish tomorrow. Both of those claims are equally absurd.
