Mathematicians believe that a longstanding puzzle about the nature of space and topology, termed Poincaré’s conjecture after the French mathematician that proposed the idea, has been proved correct.
According to the New York Times: "there is a growing feeling, a cautious optimism that they have finally achieved a landmark not just of mathematics, but of human thought."
Great, but why can't I balance my checkbook?
“Thought is only a flash in the middle of a long night, but the flash that means everything.”
--Henri Poincaré
