A researcher at HP thinks he has a proof of P!=NP. If so it would be the most important mathematics result at the very least since Wilson proved Fermat's Last Theorem, and possibly since the Church-Turing thesis. Math bloggers seem a bit skeptical, though.

Of course.

Dude, Rule 34. Not only are there math blogs out there, I feel convinced there are math-erotica blogs.

There are even math pickup lines.

Wiles proved FLT. I think a strong argument could be made that the proof of the Poincare Conjecture was a bigger result than FLT.

That paper was hot. First I saw some existential quantifiers and was turned on by the logic, then I noticed cartesian products and unions. It was at this point I realized they threw set theory into the mix. Wow. I think I need a break after that.

The proof is in the pudding, and now it's ruined and we have to throw it out.
