A (Correct) Poincare Proof!?

Posted by Hemos on from the working-it-out dept.

aphyscher writes "About a year ago, there was an announcement that M.J. Dunwoody had proved the (in)famous Poincare conjecture. His paper turned out to have a slight problem, and so it remained unsolved... until perhaps now! Sergey Nikitin has posted a preprint of what may perhaps be an actual proof."

    Also, Teri Hatcher, IIRC, majored in math before going into acting. A natural choice, since her folks are both geeks (dad's a physicist, and mom was a programmer).
