what is the commonly accepted idea/principle/axiom, that if proved false, would single-handedly revolutionarize the most science/maths ?
What is the commonly accepted idea/principle/axiom, that if proved false...
Theory of relativity, we'll overcome the Judenphysik once and for all
/thread
P not equal to NP
theory of intelligent design
[math]1+1=2[/math]
Time travel in the past.
First Law of Thermodynamics
A=A
that wont change anything. now if P is equal to NP, that will change everything
AoC is a pretty obvious one, if somebody found a problem with that it would break large chunks of virtually every section of modern mathematics
>Judenphysik
Yeah, the problem is OP said "proved wrong". I don't even know what it would even mean to prove the axiom of choice wrong.
I'll say Navier Stokes equations.
associativity? it's everywhere
No it won't. Uneducated CS majors belong in
Please elaborate. People with no sources belong in
Show it leads to an awful paradox like the Axiom Schema of Comprehension leads to Russel's Paradox.
It already leads to the Banach-Tarski paradox but it seems that's not nasty enough for most mathematicians to care. I'm sure there are many more examples.
The whole cryptography as a field would cease to exizts
The major complexity results of the last twenty years start as "unless the polynomial hierachie collapses"

No, dumb ass. A Θ(N^6) SAT solver would still be worthless for most things.
This is what I was gonna post
Dumb popsci faggot, go back to /pol/
OP is a faggot
Retard alert
>A=A
this is the correct answer
x/0 = b

How gauche
Like what?
We'd had to throw away some non-constructive aspects of functional analysis. That would have no consequences at all, except for those theorems not being of interest anymore, to the few pure mathematicians it was interesting before.
Any count arguments?
