About this listen

In this episode, we uncover the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture—an enigma in mathematics so complex it’s often called “the most difficult problem you’ve never heard of.” At its heart lies a question about elliptic curves, abstract shapes with applications ranging from cryptography to string theory.


Solving it could redefine how we approach the boundaries of number theory and computation.


Join us as we break down the mystery, meet the minds tackling it, and explore why it holds the key to understanding the infinity.
