Some of the hardest questions in cosmology begin where the usual math gives up. Push Einstein’s theory far enough back toward ...

Abstract: Metaheuristic algorithms have demonstrated strong effectiveness in solving complex real-world optimization problems. This paper presents two discrete metaheuristic approaches for the ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

This marks one of the clearest examples so far of AI helping to solve a longstanding mathematical problem that had stumped the experts. Written for you by our author Paul Arnold, edited by Gaby Clark, ...

After 80 years of fruitless struggle by human mathematicians, a major geometry conjecture has at last been solved—via a straightforward query to a chatbot. “No previous AI-generated proof has come ...

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed they understood the limits of a famous geometry puzzle first posed by legendary Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős. Now, an AI model developed by OpenAI ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

A calm response does more than a quick reaction today. The Moon in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius at 7:25 AM EDT, bringing tension around comfort, control, money, plans, and power dynamics. Someone ...
