Is this your homework or is a test for us basilers?

There's a reason why it's remained a hypothesis for 150 years...

You weren't smart enough to put this in the right section.

If anyone manages to prove or disprove the Riemann Hypothesis, they get paid a million dollars by the Clay Mathematics Institute....
So if I were able to, I wouldn't even be here...

don't you have to prove it using induction or something?
forgot this stuff, lol.

pretty sure its impossible to prove Riemann summation since an infinite # of heights are used. o-o. but i mean its infinitely close to the area under the curve that you want, or atleast you can prove that using like 100 heights ._.

I did a project on a related theory in Complex Analysis last semester and died.

Here's a possible answer:

stay up all night coming up with complex numbers whose real parts are equal to 1/2. plug one in the riemann-zeta function, and note that it zeros the function. plug another one in, and note same. repeat. etc.

after the function zeros for the 10,000,000th time, do you really, honestly think it's worth checking it for the 10,000,001th time, just to make sure it doesn't suddenly fail to happen? are you the kind of guy who believes that just because the sun has risen umpteen times in 5 billion years it won't necessarily rise tomorrow? what happens to your purse in vegas, man? this is what nietzsche calls the "absurdly rational." c'mon, people.

QED.
