I remember some theorem related to finding the zeros of the zeta along the complex plane or something along those lines, they gave a million dollars or such to the discoverer of that.
No geography here? Isn't that science? :O
yeah I forgot that... and geology... and most of them actually XD
BTW I like astronomy most

Actually, The Riemann Hypothesis hasn't been proven yet, although you are correct that it has a million dollar prize. From what I understand it's one of those things that everyone knows but no one can prove (like there being an infinite amount of primes with a distance of 2 between them).

Astronomy major represent.
We got, like,
I dislike it when every time a person posts they feel the need to color it.
Stars, n' shit.

I'm really expecting awesome astronomy photos in the near future (You know, New Horizons, Juno, The James Webb telescope...)

Anyone heard the latest on the Warp Drive Experiments by NASA?
Apparently they got the Maths wrong a decade ago, retrying it now.
Then we send someone to Magrathea, making sure the Mice don't extract their brains...

Woooo
I think we're leading for now.
I thought I could go to some astronomy related college or something, but shitty Croatia is shitty. We have no such things as
astronomy in our dictionary. Brrr. Weird folks talking about stars and planets and shit. They be too smart for silly Croatia.

ASTRONOMY FTW! So what in astronomy you are interested in? I like Astropsychics and Black hole related stuff.

So its seems like I've ask this a couple of times in a couple of places, but my interest in Submachine has a great deal to do with my interest in why people believe what they do. Submachine is a fantastic puzzle in its own right apart from the puzzles in the game and it is a great place to test my theories about why people believe what they do. I say all that to ask this: what is it about Submachine that has the astronomers excited?
