Amazon MGM Studios will form a joint venture with Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli that will hold the intellectual property rights and ensure they remain co-owners of the franchise. However, Wilson and Broccoli will be stepping back to focus on other projects, with Amazon gaining full creative control. The

After 20 years, math couple solves major group theory problem

news.ycombinator.com Leila Sloman 2025-11-16 20:09:56

After the conjecture was posed in the 1970s, dozens of mathematicians tried their hand at proving it. They made partial progress — and in the process they learned a great deal about groups, which are abstract objects that describe the various symmetries of a mathematical system. But a full proof seemed out of reach. Then Späth came along. Now, 20 years after she first learned about the problem and more than a decade after she met Cabanes, the two mathematicians have finally completed the proof.

Archaeologists Unearth the First Pharaoh’s Tomb Since Tutankhamun

A joint Egyptian-British archaeological project near Luxor found the tomb of Thutmose II, making it the first royal tomb to be unearthed since the discovery of Tutankhamun in 1922. When British archaeologist Howard Carter opened Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, he would have been shocked to learn that another royal tomb wouldn’t be discovered for over 100 years—but that’s exactly what happened.
