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

What do melting ice, wildfires, and pandemics have in common? They all follow hidden mathematical rules—rules that one man uncovered.Meet Hugo Duminil-Copin, the mathematician who cracked the code of randomness and phase transitions. His discoveries explain how tiny shifts cause massive changes—like water turning to ice or a single spark igniting a forest fire.
His work isn’t just theoretical—it’s transforming how we predict disease outbreaks, design materials, and even understand financial crashes. From magnets to markets, his math reveals the tipping points that shape our world.
Join us as we dive into the work of Hugo Duminil-Copin and explore how his breakthroughs help us navigate an unpredictable world. If you thought math was just about equations, think again—this is the science of chaos itself
