no
>P=NP
P equals 0
N equals whatever you want.

Well thanks. Now it is. You should should have used comparison operators instead of assignment.
You broke my cryptography algorithms.

Thanks for showing us that you're a fucking aspie.
I proved it a while ago.
I left the proof in my pants pocket and then washed them. So now I can't read it and I forget
Can someone give me a basic gestalt/quick rundown on P=NP?
This definition sounds too simple.
NP problems are problems that can be solved in polynomial time by a Turing machine with stop property.
P problems are a subclass of NP problems, with an additional requirement of that Turing machine being deterministic.
You can think of a non-deterministic Turing machine as of a machine that can check all possibilities at once (a non-deterministic algorithm is usually an algorithm that picks the correct solution and verifies that it is indeed correct, so things that require exponential time on a deterministic Turing machine often can be solved linearly).
Without going into details, your computer is equivalent to a deterministic Turing machine, and there are problems, like the traveling salesman problem, for which we do not know any exact polynomial algorithm. If P=NP, it means that those problems can be solved in polynomial time. That's most likely false, though (according to most people, including me), but there's no complete proof yet.
If P!=NP, nothing changes, but if P=NP, that would make current (if not all) encryption algorithms much worse (maybe not useless, though, since a problem that requires n^100000 time is still polynomial).
So that's pretty much it.
I already solved this a long time ago.
Currently working on the P = BQP problem.
Get on my level.
P=PPAP
You sound like the kinda guy who's already solved the NA=P problem.
Did that yesterday.
do you mind if I save this picture?
who's stopping you?
P = NP
P - NP = 0
P (1 - N) = 0
P = 0 or N = 1
P = NP
P/P = NP/P
1 = N
P != NP
I've proved it, but the proof is too big for this post.
pastebin, no excuse
if you approach it that way, you only get 1 of 2 possible solutions. P = 0 is a missing solution, because when you divided by P you assumed it didn't equal 0, but it very well could. so you must acknowledge that in your solution.
many solution!
