Description

In this episode, we dive into P=NP, the most important unsolved problem in computer science—a question so profound it could reshape technology as we know it. At its core, P=NP asks: can problems that are easy to check also be easy to solve? From cracking encryption to solving puzzles that would normally take centuries of computation, a solution to P=NP could unlock unimaginable computational power—or chaos.


The implications are staggering: a proof could revolutionize medicine, transportation, and artificial intelligence, or render our digital security obsolete overnight. It’s a problem that has baffled and captivated computer scientists for decades.


Join us as we break down the mystery, explore its real-world stakes, and imagine a world where P=NP is finally solved.
