If they broke RSA then they could easily demonstrate it by posting the private key of a random public key found online. Since they didn't it's at most an improvement over the existing best polynomial time algorithm.

The funny thing about P=NP is that proving P=NP is as simple as providing just one solution to a big enough problem, but a disproof would probably span an entire book and give the discoverer a harem of math groupies in every university around the world.

i like this reality you have constructed, where whoever published the article had to do it online out pure logistics. you know, because during live math conferences they were drowned out over the sound of being on sucked for hours on end by calcusluts

That sounds super op but couldn’t anyone just hold down the 1 key on the keyboard and write to the same memory address until it breaks the prime number cryptography?

you dont even need to press down 1. i spilled my special widecap gatorade bottle on my keyboard and im pretty sure i broke all the prime cryptojiggies
