Khan Academy: P vs. Np Problem

Curated by ACT

By Ayesha Ahmed. Creativity, ingenuity, luck. All concepts that set apart the most brilliant minds from the rest. But also concepts we cannot strictly define. After all, there are no set of rules for genius. Well, actually, there might be. This idea is exactly what the P vs. NP problem attempts to encapsulate: can we create a map of achieving 'creativity'? Can abstract problems like 'luck' be converted into easily computable problems like multiplication? Can we create a strict set of steps, an algorithm, to engineer luck and creativity? We just don't know. If not, it means there are certain problems we will never be able to solve. We will be doomed to ignorance on a large sense. But if yes, suddenly even problems previously thought to be too hard to solve become's easy enough for anyone to do. This completely redefines our values of brilliance because when everyone is a genius, no one is.
