Yes, there are still at least six (6) $1 million (USD) CMI prizes waiting for winners…or are they not? The unwarded prizes require very strict formal constraints on provability criteria. Yet, in 1931, the greatest mathematical logician of the 20th century proved that strictly formal methods of mathematical proof were useless for the hardest of all math problems. Now, nearly 96 years later, armed with the most power-hungry supercomputing “AI” systems of all time, the most brilliant Rock Star mathematicians of the 21st century still can’t solve just 6 of the hardest, long-standing “open” (unsolved) problems of mathematics and physics. So, since the RH problem is officially considered unsolved (after 167 years), it seems wise to ask why none of the outstanding solutions have been officially recognized and awarded the prize money. After all, it does seem that the late great Mr. Clay funded his ($7×10^6 USD) Millennium Challenge Problems prize project because he sincerely wished to advance the science of mathematics and STEM education. However, after nearly 8 years of scandalous corruption and cowardice (or malignant narcissism pandemic?) in the industry of modern mathematics and academia, Grigori Perelman not only refused a $1 million prize for his solution (in protest), he gave up mathematics (in digust). That seems a consequence Mr. Clay did not intend when envisioning his promotion of mathematics and STEM education. Yet, why should any of you few visitors to my site care about any of that, or the fact that the majority of professional mathematicians and quantum mechanics no longer want to deal with realities, much less discuss them in a rational way (or learn any new theory)? Good question, eh?
