Grant Sanderson: 我认为数学中存在许多未解难题,其中一些是克莱数学研究所提出的千禧年问题,这些问题非常难以描述。还有一些更容易理解但同样重要的未解问题,解决这些问题可以带来名誉和事业上的发展。例如,是否存在无限多个差为2的孪生素数?这个问题触及了我们对素数的理解的深度。另外,描述流体流动的Navier-Stokes方程在理论理解上存在令人担忧的薄弱之处,关于这些方程是否如我们所愿那样运行的基本问题,目前还没有人真正知道答案。 Neil deGrasse Tyson: 宇宙中存在奇点问题,我们的方程告诉我们,在黑洞的中心,自然界正在除以零,一切都变得无限大,这没有任何意义。我们怀疑这是我们的宇宙理论的局限性,而不是数学的局限性。数学的某些发现确实推动了天体物理学的发现,例如非欧几里得几何对宇宙几何的理解。 Chuck Nice: 我对数学的理解有限,但我认为数学很重要,没有数学,我们对宇宙一无所知。
