A few weeks ago, one of the most important conjectures in math was proved by pic rel (see http://people.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/gaitsgde/GLC/) and yet, nobody on /sci/ gave a fuck.Wtf happened to this board? This isn't at all the board I remember>inb4 schizo rants by bots and namefags
>>16260819That's not IQ, climate change or homework.Not /sci/
>>16260819>implying nu/sci/ even knows what geometric langlands let alone rep theory is about
>>16260819math is fake
>>16260834>brainlet cope, the post
He wrote sex on the board lol bet that nerd doesn't get any irl
>>16260819He's not black.
Yes, /sci/ is dead. I still come here occasionally out of habit but usually leave again when I see that nothing changed. The bots and spammers have won. There are no insightful discussion threads anymore. The few knowledgeable posters either left or learned their lesson that making good posts in this shithole is a waste of time and resources. Have fun with your endless "science is fake and gay" and "new climate change clickbait" spam. I can have better discussions about science and math on /pol/, /g/ or /lit/.
>>16260819>Langlands>In 2004, mathematicians Edward Frenkel, Dennis Gaitsgory, Kari Vilonen, and Mark Goresky were awarded millions of dollars in the form of a grant by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). The project being funded was to relate the geometric Langlands program to quantum field theory.
>>16260834>>16260852>b-but its le fake!!you retards always say this but then the next atom bomb will use that math. Starting to think youre getting paid to spread this nonsense... the fact that the us military funded this research makes this even more obvious
>>16260933Add "climate", "vaccine" and " "how come" to hide filters. Do not reply to spambots and poltards.
>>16260819Who gives a shit? Mathematicians are all schizophrenics anyway.
>>16260961exhibit A
>>16260938The atom bomb used physics, not math. Literally zero applications will from this conjecture.
>>16260959Then half of the board is hidden and the remaining threads are still filled with trash like >>16260834 >>16260961This board is dead and it's time to leave. If you want to discuss science or math just make a thread on /pol/, add some /pol/ buzzwords to make it tangentially ontopic and you'll get exponentially better quality replies than on /sci/.
>>16260968Only 20 posts hidden with my filters
>>16260965the mathematical advances in the 19th century made it possible to seriously study the physics in the first place
>>16260965>he doesnt know
>>16260819Yukarifag leaving when I realized this board turned to shit
>>16260971All those advances were made by physicists. You're delusional
>>16260965>zero applications will from this conjecturequite the bold statement. Can you please explain what geometric langlands is about so I know I won't waste an hour educating a moron?
>>16260978No, read up on some history. Especially on the history of modern differential geometry. Ask yourself why Riemannian geometry is named after a mathematician and not a physicist. Also look at Riemanns habilitation thesis, particularly his thoughts on what kind of space we live in
>>16260933>/g/that board is entirely composed of ragebait, spam, and dunning-kruger, I've literally never seen a good in-depth technology discussion there/tg/, /k/, or very rarely /v/, are the place to talk technology or science
The only good poster here is Barkon. At least he posts new stuff. The rest is old NPC bollox.
>>16260938Lmao cope of a weak ass nerd nigganoone cares lmao
>>16260819langlands is some of the most incomprehensible bullshit in all of mathematics. most professional mathematicians don't even have any idea what the fuck is going on
>>16260834>algebra is fakeftfy
>>16260981Yeah yeah, you're either a schizophrenic number theorist or a pedophilic string theorist. Either way you're a chronic liar. Not going to play your cancerous game. If an application exists, it's on you to say what it is. Otherwise the default position is to assume it has no applications. >>16260987Riemann was a physicist and a mathematician. You're conflating his works.
>>16261077NTA, but you're delusional.
>>16261077Virgin detected
>>16260819Geometric langlands seems a bit idealistic though it already has a good track record.How long until this gets peer reviewed?
>>16261072>>16261077>>16260936>all the retards that got filtered by langlands proudly presenting their low IQ
>>16261195given that the proof is very long and there are hardly any people qualified to review it, I'd guess a year or two, slightly longer than perelman's proof
>>16261077Edward Witten is literally studying geometric langlands too lol. Ask yourself why the greatest physicist currently alive would do that if it were a meme with 0 applications. Want something with actually no applications? Look no further than combinatorics research
99% of this board doesn't understand what Langland's conjectures even are (me included), nor could we even if we dedicated years to learning it.
>>16261439>Ask yourself why the greatest physicist currently alive would do thatRoger Penrose isn't doing that, as far as I'm aware.
>>16261077Meh. It seems, unlike pop-sci ranting in the internet, that string theory dominates theoretical physics. Quantum gravity called swampland program, holography used to blackhole information and condensed matter, mirror symmetry and geometric Langlands in math.I used to have prejudice on string theory, but I changed my mind because it flourishes in the academia
>>16261446This. I have a math degree and I'm still far away from understanding Langland. It seems to be a topic only for a small elite of research mathematicians. I admire those who are wise enough.
>>16261450Penrose basically died 20 years ago. He wrote a great book on spinors but what he did in the past decades is hot fucking garbage. That quantum brain bullshit is only the tip of the iceberg. Going on Jordan Peterson and Weinstein's podcast really showed how much he lost it. Meanwhile Witten is still going strong
>>16261450I'm sure Penrose is interested in this. He's not only a physicist but also a mathematician. >>16261459So far he was right about microtubules.
>>16261459I actually talked to him a few years back and he was the sharpest octogenarian (he wasn't yet 90, at the time) I've ever met, by far. Him talking to Jordan Peterson, which was by all accounts a terrible discussion and that was largely due to Peterson being a moron. In person he showed remarkably little sign of any cognitive decline at all, at least in my brief time chatting with him. Witten might be a bit sharper at the moment, but he's also quite a bit younger, and my comment was tongue in cheek anyway.
>>16261459>>16261469holy fuck dont remind me of Peterson's interview. He couldn't stop himself from interrupting Penrose and making some long off-topic comment on something hardly related. It was painful listening to Penrose attempting to explain Godel incompleteness to Peterson and him just babbling over non-determinism.
>>16261469>Him talking to Jordan Peterson, which was by all accounts a terrible discussion and that was largely due to Peterson being a moron(meant to finish)... has little bearing on Roger's own mind, beyond his apparent inability to judge who's capable of holding a quality conversation and who isn't.
>>16260834>>16261077>string theory is le fake and gayreality has inherent hidden degrees of freedom described by a degree-3 algebraic hyperkahler curve embedded in Kaluza-Klein-esque compact dimensions. We have literally shown this experimentally
>>16261077>it has no applications even doe the US military is funding itKek.
>>16260970Get better filters
>>16261077yikes
>>16261489>KK shown experimentallyMeds. Now. Does your mom know you're in pain?
>>16260819Post your nose, OP.
>>16260933Everyone knows thisIf i deploy a chan that lives on blockchain event logs would you pay to post?
>>16261864>nose fetishist back at it
>>16260961how come
>>16261025samefag
>>16261870Sure I'd pay to call you a faggot on the blockchain.
>>16260819I like how you were THAT mad about not getting enough attention that you made two threads >>16261086
>>16262556>>16261864>>16262549>l-let me talk about politics on a math and science board!!!back to /pol/ with you, subhuman
>>16262618I never talked about politics.
>>16260819We have more pressing matters at hand such as Covid and why you should take ur Vaccine
>>16260819Dropped out of school in 8th grade and have been a day laborer ever since reporting inAfter clicking like 20 Wikipedia links my understanding of this conjecture is that it describes the "shapes" that arise from the boundaries and angles of "shapes" of both internal and external "shapes" relative to the empty space now defined as a "shape".Is this right? Why does this matter? Is this not just measuring shit?
>>16262939It is essentially a translation exercise, which reformulates one field of mathematics into another field. It's important because it reveals answers one field otherwise wouldn't have.
>>16260933Trannys killed it not random Anons. Trust the science bro. Current year science is pozzed AF.
>>16262939You should start studying again
>>16260819Can you even describe it rather than just making a clickbait remark then linking it? I didn't click your link, btw.
>>16263064bot post
>>16262939congrats anon, youve figured it all out
>>16260938He's right, you know
>>16260819>A few weeks agoThat's a lifetime in maths. We've moved on. Sorry you missed it.Maybe the arcives are more your speed than a real time discussion board.
>>16263125>That's a lifetime in mathsYou've got to be joking.
>>16263129You're still going on about something we discussed minutes ago?!?Please try and keep up. Maybe you'll find the introductory course more your speed.
>>16263125learn to read. OP said /sci/ didnt care when the proof first came out which seems to be true as I can't find anything in the archives
>>16260819this is what "culture war" gets youeverything of quality has moved into little enclaves and secret societies, except they aren't secret because they still rely on social media and communication infrastructure.it's gonna get more and more impossible to just lurk, you'll have to prove yourself and meet standards to the point where you may as well just interact and live in the real world.which isn't that bad of a fate, it's just a shame that the real point/utility of the internet was lost because some warlord freaks wanted more power.
"the pinnacle of warfare approaches the formless"- sun tzu
>>16263153Bitch, you learn to read. We have moved on.
>>16262939How dare you
>>16263085Nah he makes a fair point. If OP is upset about this result not getting any attention on /sci/, the least he could do is start the discussion by giving a little bit of an overview for people who are unfamiliar with it.
>>16263765no it's not a good point at all. Just look it up, you'll find hundreds of posts on stackexchange if you want to be spoonfed that badly.Besides, it is a major proof. OP shouldn't have to explain jack shit. A math board that doesn't know of geometric langlands isn't a math board at all
>>16263771So why even bother making the thread? Just to complain?
>>16263776retard
>>16260819I think one of the biggest improvements that could possibly be made to /sci/ would be to autoban anyone who posts with anything entered into the name field./sci/ namefags are invariably schizos who literally reply to themselves to converse with the voices in their heads. Namefags are shit on every board but it is absolutely fucking startling how much worse they are on here.Another major improvement would be banning all discussions related to climate change, vaccines, IQ, and race.
>>16263303No, we haven't. Cope harder
>>16262939What the fuck did you read to come to that conclusion?
>>16263064read the paper dumbfuck. The 5th paper even clearly outlines the importance of the proof
>>16260819i have a masters in mathematics and even i didn't understand the paper
>>16263771>I shouldn't have to explain why I'm upset, you should know whyLiterally passive-aggressive women's logic. If you want to talk about the proof, actually talk about the proof (in /mg/ perhaps?). Don't just make a thread simply whining about how nobody else is talking about it.
>>16263792Are you okay, anon? This has nothing to do with what I've said
>>16261886because brainlets can't imagine shit like mathematicians do
>>16261446Eric Weinstein got you. Just read the following books: http://theportal.wiki/wiki/ReadThis will get you there in no time
>>16260933best post ITT
>>16263783There should be a health care or COVID board like on Komica
>>16263791probably because you got it in applied math
>>16260965>i am too retarded to understand it so it must have no usegood thing youre not an authority on math and will never be
>>16263804i had both applied and pure, but never studied functors. the subject seems interesting
>muh conjectureNo one cares, nerd. There's nothing "important" about this irrelevant squiggle crap. This doesn't do anything to improve the state of the world or all the problems occurring. Talk about real science, not chalkboard playtime for virgins.
>>16263819another filtered retard
>>16263819>This doesn't do anything to improve the state of the world or all the problems occurringthe conjecture probably won't improve the state of the world right now, but it might in the future. mathematicians don't prove stuff for the better good of the world, they prove because they like to. it's like a challenge for mathematicians.
>>16263809to be fair the people at bonn research a lot of very exotic topics.
>>16260933>There are no insightful discussion threads anymoreThere never were. More revisionist history retard shit from newfags. I was on /sci/ in 2010, it was exactly the same.
>>16263819>a conjecture claiming there are massive connections between geometry and algebra>even studied by hundreds of physicists>"b-but it has no use!!"

>>16263830>i-it's even studied by hundreds of OTHER time-wasting masturbating retards who don't contribute!!!! you have to listen to MUH AUTHORITY!
>>16263828in 2010, you didn't have bots like >>16263833
>>16263834Edward Witten does contribute though?
>>16263830Holy shit, do consensus slaves really?>>16263835>You dared to criticize my irrelevant garbage? Y-you must be a bot!Embarrassing.
>>16263833why are you even on this board
>>16263838don't reply to me, filth
>>16263799I honestly don't think it would help. They already have appropriate boards to discuss politics and conspiracy theories, but it doesn't stop them doing it everywhere else. A lot of the posters shitting up this board and the rest of the website (outside of /pol/ and /x/ where they belong) with COVID/vax/etc stuff are doing it because they think they're going to redpill people or own the libtards.
Holy shit /sci/ is such a shit tier board. It's just a bunch of brain dead 5 year olds.
>>16263878>to redpill people or own the libtardsDoes this actually work?
>>16263783Just fucking ban politics. Everyone knows that’s the #1 factor in terrible quality posts.
>>16260819well nobody talks about it because even among legitimate mathematicians over 90% of people cannot comprahend itits impact for the field may be quite big but in itself its a very narrow niche
>>16260819>one of the most important conjectures in math Conjectures in hyper-specialized fields that only six people in the world bother to tackle aren't sexy, especially when those conjectures are young.
/sci/ is just a bunch of political activists, schizos and high school science students. The implication being it doesn't have any top tier people in sciences or math anymore.
>>16263771>Just look it up, you'll find hundreds of posts on stackexchangeSounds like there's no reason for it to be here. Stay on stack exchange if you like it so much better there
