Travelling Salesman, Thriller Set In a World Where P=NP
mikejuk writes with this excerpt from I Programmer: "A movie that features science and technology is always welcome, but is it not often we have one that focuses on computer science. Travelling Salesman is just such a rare movie. As you can guess from its name, it is about the Travelling Salesman problem, more precisely about the P=NP question. Written and directed by Timothy Lanzone, and produced by Fretboard Pictures, it should premiere on June 16. As the blurb to the movie trailer says: 'Travelling Salesman is an intellectual thriller about four of the world's smartest mathematicians hired by the U.S. government to solve the most elusive problem in computer science history — P vs. NP. The four have jointly created a "system" which could be the next major advancement for humanity or the downfall of society.'"
Not sure if troll or just stupid...
I really want to know about Thriller in a world where P=NP. Do the zombies dance differently or what?
"P. P never changes." in a Ron Perlman voice.
I would've gone with "When everything you thought you knew about NP... is wrong"
Would it still be racist if the movie was filmed in Japan and everyone in the movie was Japanese?
All Japanese movies are required by law to have Godzilla in them and thus everyone would not be Japanese.
Knowledge = Power
P= W/t
t=Money
Money = Work/Knowledge so the less you know the more you make
N = 1
There you go. I solved it. Now where's my million bucks?!
That's not the complete solution. The complete solution reads: N=1 or P=0
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
And we know that Asians aren't known for that or anything... Really, it wouldn't have been shocking to have a Japanese guy, or an Indian guy, or heck, maybe a woman.
The way the movie industry works, the cast would be three white guys and a blind black lesbian smarter than all of them.
