Possible Proof of Riemann Hypothesis

June 9th, 2004

A mathematician at Purdue University has published a proof of the Reimann Hypothesis. If his proof is valid then it would be a key discovery for mathematics and the search to understand the prime numbers and the hidden structure of the universe. Although it is too early to tell whether his proof will stand up to scrutiny, if it does he will will a $1 million prize and also go down in history as solving one of the most important questions in mathematics.
