Franche-Lachapelle's Theorem


Paul Franche and Jean Lachapelle, two physics master students in McGill university proved one of the most famous open problems in mathematics.
In non-technical terms, it says:
"The m-th root of n-factorial equals to k has no integer solution for m,n, k>1"

They posted a preprint of their proof which is over 1000 pages long on the arxive a couple of months ago!. Their proof drew hell a lot of attention!!! The method they used is unbelievably innovative and new. Ever since they've posted their proof, they are avoiding public appearance. As of one month ago they have left their office and haven't showed up!. The last word Paul Franche said before leaving the office was a curse French word!!! Their colleagues told BBC that Jean Lachapelle left his bottle of mustard sauce on his desk and never came back to take it!!.

Their friends are saying after solving this famous problem in math, they are triggered to solve the problem of quantum gravity by unifying M-theory with the theory of quantum consciousness.
To be continued... Stay tuned!
