I'm sure Gowers wants to see this problem solved. Perhaps his last hope is computers solving this shit before he grows senile and dies.

cracks me up everytime, thank you for the good laugh sir

just dodge the algebraic geometry/topology trap, do some combinatorics and publish as an undergrad

i'm pretty sure many people unconsciously assume that every set is constructible until you explain to them how this can be false
it is not used because no one actually needs to "use" this unless you're doing autistic set theory
and if you are doing autistic set theory, then this axiom just settles most questions and there wouldn't be much left to do

>Almost all real numbers are normal
wow gee you really need a degree in maths to figure this out?

my frend came up with this:

funny right? lmaooo

>In particular would this affect my personality
Yes, this will make you more autistic
