He didn't say he found it personally challenging. He said this part of optimization finds itself at the intersection of three deep fields of human knowledge. That is undeniably correct.

It's worth noting that if P=NP, then there's already a known (though highly impractical) algorithm which can solve any given NP problem in polynomial time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem#P

To me what's surprising is that they allowed tours at all, and sometimes even let you see the command center. Or maybe this was all part of the plan to make the nuclear deterrent credible.

I was wondering that myself. I'm sure this is wrong, but I want to believe it's what food sometimes becomes after being eaten. In which case this is a patent filing for a barf bag.

A reason to dislike computer-generated proofs: The point of mathematics is not just to know whether some proposition is true, it's to understand the mathematical objects under study. A beautiful proof sheds light, it explains why .

A trivial and artificial example is g(z), defined as the sum of G(n, z) for n from 1 to infinity, where G(n, z) = 0 except if z is -1, in which case it is n. Thus g(-1) is 1 + 2 + 3 + ... while g(z) is otherwise 0 + 0 + 0 + ... = 0. And the
