What Is the Riemann Hypothesis?
The Riemann Hypothesis matters because it's the key to understanding the secret heartbeat of the prime numbers—the building blocks of mathematics. Primes look random on the surface, but mathematicians have long suspected a hidden pattern beneath them. The RH is the bold claim that this pattern exists and can be precisely described. If it's true, it would sharpen our understanding of how primes are distributed, unlocking faster algorithms, stronger encryption, and deeper insight into the structure of numbers themselves. And even if you don't use primes every day, almost every modern technology—from secure internet connections to scientific simulations—quietly depends on the mathematics behind them. Solving the RH would be like finally finding the map to a landscape we've been exploring for centuries.
