#552464 — Will Big Data solve the Riemann Hypothesis?

The Riemann Hypothesis is arguably the most important unsolved problem in mathematics. It falls into an area called Analytic Number Theory which is essentially number theory with complex numbers thrown into the mix. The hypothesis states that all non-trivial zeros of the Reimann Zeta function fall on the critical line. What!?? Ok, sorry. That is not very helpful. Lets just say that there is a critical relationship between this function and our understanding of the distribution of prime numbers. And of course prime numbers are the building blocks of all other numbers and insanely important in a number of fields that affect our lives critically - one of which is modern cryptography. So basically all of the encryption algorithms that allow us to make a payment online, log in to our bank account, or maybe even send an encrypted text message depend on the Reimann hypothesis.

They might disprove it that way. They won't prove it.

Correct. Godel's Theorm: There exist numbers having complexity so great 
that computer programs cannot generate them.
