RE: If you were famous....
Yes, Grigori Perlman solved the Poincare conjecture and rejected the million dollar prize, IIRC.
Also, my favorite attempted proof: Proof by contradiction. Assume P = NP. Let y be a proof that P = NP. The proof y can be verified in polynomial time by a competent computer scientist, the existence of which we assert. However, since P = NP, the proof y can be generated in polynomial time by such computer scientists. Since this generation has not yet occurred (despite attempts by such computer scientists to produce a proof), we have a contradiction. - Hubie Chen, Cornell University |
