German mathematician Faltings wins the 2026 Abel prize for solving a 60-year-old mystery.

Gerd Faltings has won the 2026 Abel Prize, considered the Nobel prize of mathematics.

Faltings shocked mathematicians around the world for his groundbreaking 1983 proof of the Mordell conjecture.

His contributions helped establish one of the most important fields in modern mathematics, arithmetic geometry.

🤔 Ahh, the Mordell conjecture—because nothing screams "fun" like 2,000 years of squinting at squiggly lines. 🤓 Mathematicians finally cracked the "magic formula" for #curves, leaving the rest of us scratching our heads, wondering why we didn't think of it during our coffee break. ☕️✨

Mathematicians make a breakthrough on 2,000-year-old problem of curves

Since ancient Greece, researchers have tried to isolate special rational points on curves. Now they have the first ever formula that applies uniformly to all curves
