It was the end of April.
Something big happened in the academic world.
In the latest issue of the Annual Mathematics journal, a forty-page long thesis regarding the proof of the existence of a solution to the Yang-Mills equations was published.
Once this news was confirmed, it caused a sensation in the international mathematics and physics circles.
This thing blew up on the internationally renowned mathematics forum "Math Overflow".
[Did you guys hear? The existence of a solution to the Yang-Mills equations has been proved?!]
[I heard about it this morning, but this is still inconclusive, right?]
[It's posted on Annual Mathematics, of course it's conclusive. The reviewer is Charles Fefferman!]
