  • Resumen

  • A show about seven of the most tantalizing mysteries in mathematics. Recognized by the Clay Institute as the Millennium Prize Problems, these are the greatest mathematical challenges of the 21st century.


    Seven unsolved problems, each holding the potential to rewrite reality as we know it. Solve one, and you claim a million dollars. These are not mere equations; they are puzzles that hold the keys to the future.


    From predicting the chaos of weather to decoding the deepest structures of reality, this show takes you on a treasure hunt—a battle of wits against the unknown. We’ll meet the rebels and visionaries who dare to dream of solutions and explore the mind-bending implications of their breakthroughs.


    Join us as we unravel the enigmas behind these problems, stripping away the dense technical layers to reveal the elegant, breathtaking beauty of mathematics

  • The Riemann Hypothesis

    The Riemann Hypothesis
    Feb 16 2025

    This episode dives into one of the most elusive mysteries in mathematics: the Riemann Hypothesis. First proposed by Bernhard Riemann in 1859, it’s a conjecture that connects the primes—those fundamental building blocks of numbers—to a hidden rhythm in the infinite expanse of mathematics.


    Cracking it is more than implications for number theory; it’s about unlocking the structure of the universe itself. From cryptography to quantum physics, the implications ripple through every corner of science.


    In this journey, we’ll simplify the Hypothesis, peeling back the layers of abstraction to reveal the mesmerizing beauty and monumental stakes of solving the Riemann Hypothesis.

  • Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture

    Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture
    Feb 19 2025

    In this episode, we uncover the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture—an enigma in mathematics so complex it’s often called “the most difficult problem you’ve never heard of.” At its heart lies a question about elliptic curves, abstract shapes with applications ranging from cryptography to string theory.


    Solving it could redefine how we approach the boundaries of number theory and computation.


    Join us as we break down the mystery, meet the minds tackling it, and explore why it holds the key to understanding the infinity.

  • Yang-Mills & The Mass Gap

    Yang-Mills & The Mass Gap
    Feb 26 2025

    Explore the Yang-Mills theory and the Mass Gap—a problem that has haunted mathematicians and physicists for decades. At the intersection of pure math and quantum physics, this enigma underpins our understanding of the universe's fundamental forces.


    Yang-Mills theory describes the behavior of particles like quarks and gluons, the building blocks of matter, but here’s the twist: the theory predicts they should have mass, yet no one has been able to prove why—or how.


    This "mass gap" is a mathematical black hole, critical to modern physics but maddeningly unsolvable. Solving it could revolutionize quantum field theory, bridging the gap between the theoretical and the physical. Join us as we delve into this tantalizing mystery, where science and math collide.
