I know no one will believe this but I'm reasonably sure I proved P!=NP earlier this week.

It was very similar to a previous unsolved problem in a "haha, history repeats itself" sort of way.

This comment might have a lot more comments someday.

"I have discovered a truly marvelous demonstration of the proposition that P/=NP but this HN comment is too short to contain it..."

I don't believe you, but you can always prove me wrong and share your proof.

Well, it was recent, so I'm currently in the 'feedback and validation' stage. I've reached out to experts for feedback, but these things do take time.

If you have a genuine interest, and especially if you could provide feedback or warm introductions to someone who can, I'm happy to share.

You can email me at atmanthedog at Google's free email service domain. Put something HN related in the subject. *If you do, please share your mathematical background so I can better tailor a response.
