YouTube's Expositions of Unsolved Math: Collatz, Millennium Problems, and Paradoxes — E8 Intelligence Research

Open access0 citations

Abstract

FINDING: Survey of unsolvable/unsolved math problems from popular YouTube expositions, including Collatz Conjecture, Millennium Problems, and foundational paradoxes. | MATH: No new equations or constants extracted; the videos are expository, not original research. Key problems referenced: Collatz (3n+1 iteration), Riemann Hypothesis (ζ(s) zeros), P vs NP, Navier-Stokes existence, Yang-Mills mass gap, Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer, Poincaré conjecture (solved). | CONNECTION: No geometric ratios or symmetries explicitly derived. Collatz dynamics show no known harmonic scaling. Riemann zeros have statistical connections to random matrix theory but not to 0.382/0.618/0.786. | DEPTH: 1 — These are summaries of known open problems, not novel findings. No mathematical essence extracted beyond problem statements. No advancement of understanding. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series.
