Abstract:

The Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is an unsolved problem with a million dollar prize for its solution. What does RH say? How can we think about it? Is there any hope for a solution in the near future? We will answer the first two questions by using our eyes, hands, and ears. The answer to the third question is 'no,' and we will try to understand why the problem is so difficult
