Will at least 4 of the 7 Millennium Problems be solved by 2040?
Forecasting market: Will at least 4 of the 7 Millennium Problems be solved by 2040?

We SHARPLY REVISE DOWN to 3% (from 52%). Solving 4 of 7 Millennium Problems by 2040 would be the greatest intellectual achievement in mathematics history. In 26 years since the Prize was established, only ONE has been solved (Poincaré, 2003). Solving 3 MORE in 14 years — when mathematicians have made essentially zero progress on any of the remaining 6 — is near-impossible. Even AI tools cannot help: these require fundamental new theory, not computation.
📐Key Metrics
Key Findings
- 1 of 7 solved in 26 years — Poincaré Conjecture by Perelman (2003). He declined the $1M prize.
- Zero breakthroughs on 5 of 6 — P vs NP, Riemann, Yang-Mills, Hodge, BSD have no viable approaches.
- AI cannot solve these — they require novel theoretical constructions, not pattern matching.
- Even Terence Tao is pessimistic — described several as 'possibly unsolvable with current techniques.'
- DeepMind's math AI solves Olympiad problems (undergrad level). These are research-frontier problems.
