By encoding mathematical statements into numbers, mathematician Kurt Gödel used ordinary arithmetic to check whether a ...

In this video, we explore the role of imaginary numbers—numbers involving √−1—in modern physics. Initially seen as abstract, they play a crucial role in quantum mechanics, wave behavior, electrical ...

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

Artificial intelligence built by OpenAI has cracked a decades-old conjecture by Paul Erdős, which mathematicians have hailed ...

On the May 19, 2026 episode of The Ramsey Show, a listener named Owen from upstate New York wrote in with a complaint that landed somewhere between a financial question and a generational grievance.

Faster-than-light particles have spent decades in physics as both temptation and warning. They offered a way to test the ...

What Albert Einstein was to 20th-century physics, Alexander Grothendieck was to 20th-century mathematics. He is much less well known because math gets technical even more quickly than physics does.

I have a confession that probably won't surprise anyone who knows me well: I love reading books about mathematicians. Not because I understand the dense mathematics. I struggled through four semesters ...
