A show about seven of the most tantalizing mysteries in mathematics. Recognized by the Clay Institute as the Millennium Prize Problems, these are the greatest mathematical challenges of the 21st century.
Seven unsolved problems, each holding the potential to rewrite reality as we know it. Solve one, and you claim a million dollars. These are not mere equations; they are puzzles that hold the keys to the future.
From predicting the chaos of weather to decoding the deepest structures of reality, this show takes you on a treasure hunt—a battle of wits against the unknown. We’ll meet the rebels and visionaries who dare to dream of solutions and explore the mind-bending implications of their breakthroughs.
Join us as we unravel the enigmas behind these problems, stripping away the dense technical layers to reveal the elegant, breathtaking beauty of mathematics

In this episode, we uncover the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture—an enigma in mathematics so complex it’s often called “the most difficult problem you’ve never heard of.” At its heart lies a question about elliptic curves, abstract shapes with applications ranging from cryptography to string theory.
Solving it could redefine how we approach the boundaries of number theory and computation.
Join us as we break down the mystery, meet the minds tackling it, and explore why it holds the key to understanding the infinity.
