Geekology, Anyone?
The Uber-Challenge
The theorem is a hack on discrete number theory that simultaneously disproves the Chuirch-Turing hypothesis [wave if you understood that] and worse, permits NP-complete problems to be converted into P-complete ones. This has several consequences, starting with screwing over most cryptography algorithms—translation: all your bank account are belong to us—and ending with the ability to computationally generate a Dho-Nha geometry curve in real time.
a] Who wrote it?
