Personally I find this more mind boggling than that it can&#x27;t be communicated easily. Clearly, a proof of 500 pages will be extremely difficult to verify or even understand.<p>However... That a concept taking just a paragraph to explain* for people who know math requires a proof of over 500 pages. THAT is what I find mind boggling and I find hard to understand. That it can just balloon in size like that, especially given that mathematics is a language of logic.<p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Abc_conjecture" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Abc_conjecture</a>
