In ten years there will be many results much closer to twin primes, perhaps not the whole thing; on the Riemann hypothesis he has no clue.

Shared subject first, then similar wording. They may agree or disagree.

• The twin prime conjecture is certainly true, the random model gives overwhelming odds of it, and he just cannot prove it. TTTerence Tao14 Jun 2025
• If the Riemann hypothesis turned out to be false, prime-based cryptography would be abandoned very quickly, because one unknown pattern implies more. TTTerence Tao20 Mar 2026
• The fear that a great theorem will arrive as an incomprehensible proof is misplaced, because once the proof exists as an artifact we can analyse it. TTTerence Tao20 Mar 2026
• The solutions to the Poincare Conjecture and Fermat's Last Theorem would have been discovered before 2030 even if Grigori Perelman and Andrew Wiles had worked mid-level marketing jobs. NSNoah Smith6 Oct 2026
• This decade, AI could propose a conjecture connecting two things nobody thought were related, with a real chance of it being correct and meaningful. TTTerence Tao14 Jun 2025
