Right track Quote by Matt Parker

““There has been some progress on proving the Riemann Hypothesis, but it remains unsolved. In 1914, Hardy managed to prove that there are infinitely many zeroes on that line, but he couldn't prove that there aren't any extra zeroes off the line. We currently know that 40 percent of the non trivial zeroes are definitely on that line, but we need to know it's true for 100 per cent. So much as a single zero somewhere else, and the Riemann hypothesis would be disproved, causing our apparent understanding to come crashing down. But it hasn't. Everything has uncannily indicated that we are on the right track, but we can't yet prove it for sure.””
