All you have to do to earn 1000000 USD:
Solve one of seven mathematical problems. See here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_Mathematics_Institute). It's One Million Dollars per problem, so if you can solve more than one (maybe you have an extra weekened) you get oodles of cash.

There is an easier way (http://www.randi.org/research/index.html)

I wouldn't touch US money if you paid me.
With real money.

MP, you're lowering my purchasing power, stop it!

Yeah, I'll get right on those after proving string theory.
-
Which string theory would that be then?
At the last count there were 5 competing string theories all based on 10 dimensional space time.
Then they discovered that they were all wrong and there were actually 11 dimensions. This led to the discovery that each of the five theories were actually different aspect of the same thing :lol:
It also led to the conclusion that string theory was a thing of the past. It is now Membrane theory or Brane theory if you prefer.
You can prove that if you like but don't waste time on old hat stuff like strings. :rolleyes:
-
Continuing with what PY said, brane theory is really N-Dimensional string theory. You fill in a number of dimensions for each different aspect you're trying to measure.
Like a big matrix. Create a new row and column when you have a new variable to test.
-
PY, the letter M in M theory has no single meaning. There is no such thing as membrane theory.
-
So where did you think the M came from then?
Membrane maybe? <_<
What a daft thing to say.
So I suppose that all the text books, lectures and videos that I have been reading, attending and watching for the last year or so have all been wrong have they?
:blink:
I will tell the leading scientists that they all have it wrong right away.
-

Oh, they don't like that at all. I'd do it long distance if you can.
-
Yeah it tends to piss them off a tad!
-
I might even have to do it anonymously :D

Oh, man. I'm really behind. I need to go to the library...
-
Rofl I thought the spammers were back...
-
ok, I got to "see here" it takes me to some wikipadiea bull .. , were are the math?
-
On the page it sends you to are a list of Million Dollar Problems.
Wiki is down (at least for me) today. You might need to try again tomorrow.

:huh: I have had a look at the 7 problems and the only one I have a hope of understanding is the Riemann function one. As far as I can make out he derived a function for the pattern of prime numbers in the number system which consists of complex numbers, numbers made from real and imaginary components. And apparently it is conjected that the real component is 0.5 but noone can prove it or find out why...
Don't you just love maths??

It's my major so...
I hate it! <_< :lol:

I'm hoping to do computer science this year in University so I am going to be utterly fed up of it before long. :burnup:

I started in CS, but I found that alot of the people are, well... social skill lacking. And a little full of themselves.
At least math people know they are socially ackward and full of themselves.
-
Lol are the CS people all in denial? Thanks for this tip I will be prepared now.
At least they have their computers to talk to. :rolleyes:

Thought I had some fun:
Qustion 1: There are more Np then P because real life is mostly Np (proof? go to real life)
Qustion 2: Sry cant comprehand it correctly yet? Maybe If anyone can comprehand it they may actualy indeed solve it.
Qustion 3: Based on deffinition of simply connected I say yes a 3d sphere is simple connected (proof? read the diffinition of simple connected)
Qustion 4: NO CALCULES! ok ok , some write a ploting program that plots bouth real and imaginary numbers , that proof , you will see that infact the curve for real numbers is the same as the curve for imaginary numbers. why? simple #1 they already suspect it is. #2 the curve is not shifted in any way based on the formula.
Qustion 5: We are a little back on thechnology so it seems to prove that. We need a way to abserve all this particals at light speed.
Qustion 6: Simple, Write a computer program that accuratly simulates malecules of liquid and gas, The source code for the computer program is all the formulas you need. How to write the program you say? Start by getting an electron microscope , and do gessing and checking. Better yet, write a self mutating program that does all the guessing and checking for you.
Qustion 7: Proof: You have to equations falling from the same tree, If you know for one equation there is no way to deside if it has any solution , then yes for the other equations there is ALSO NO WAY TO DESIDE if it has any solutions.
:laugh:

Awesome, go collect your prize money form the Clay institute.
Assuming of course they pass the rigors of peer review, you should see your money in about 4 to 9 months-ish.

:D Bau :D :lol:
