For example, 24 is 11 plus 13, or 66 is 23 plus 43. This statement has not yet been proven, but it has been computationally proven up to 4 times 10 to the 18th power, a huge number. So of course, we could say, come on, if it has been proven up to that large a number, it has to be 100% true, right? Well, in mathematics, intuition often fails, and this could be one of those cases. And to illustrate it, we are going to see 5 counterexamples to conjectures that, to the surprise of many, turned out to be false. ►► SOME VIDEOS: ► INFINITY SAGA: • The Hotel Paradox With Infinite H... ► FACTORIAL SAGA: • What is the Factorial in Mathematics and... ► THE RIEMANN HYPOTHESIS: • The Pattern of Prime Numbers and the... ► The Order of the Factors DOES alter the Product: • The Order of the Factors DOES alter the... ► How to Divide by 0 Without Collapsing the Universe: • How to Divide by 0 without Breaking the Un... ►Equations and fractals: • How to CREATE FRACTALS with POLYNOMIALS ...
