Solution for Poincaré conjecture
My Ph.D (in Mathematics) brother (Sko P) referred me to an article in Telegraph about a math genius, Grigori Perelman, who presented a series of papers solving the Poincaré conjecture and was unemployed!!!!
In mathematics, the Poincaré conjecture is a conjecture about the characterization of the three-dimensional sphere amongst three-dimensional manifolds. Loosely speaking, the conjecture surmises that if a closed three-dimensional manifold is sufficiently like a sphere in that each loop in the manifold can be tightened to a point, then it is really just a three-dimensional sphere. The analogous result has been known to be true in higher dimensions for some time.
Being a pseudo mathematicican myself, it really pains on hearing this. It dosent make your life any happier when you come to know about an utterly stupid idea can earn you a Million Dollars!!!!. Alex Tew built a web site called The Million Dollar HomePage which is sold to advertisers for 1$ a pixel. It also recieved a google page rank of 7 and generated a gross income of $1,037,100.
Hmmm.. So maybe i should register a billion dollar website...
