# Math Help - Hypothesis on Riemann Hypothesis

1. ## Hypothesis on Riemann Hypothesis

I was thinking perhaps the Riemann hypothesis is independent from ZFC Axioms!

It would be a supprise, this might be the first result in analysis which is unprovable.

Did Riemann prove that there was a solution, or was it someone else?

The Riemann Hypothesis is unproven, which is why its a hypothesis. In fact
it is one of the Millennium Prize problems for which the Clay Mathematics
Institute is offering a \$1M prize.

4. is it possible to know that a solution exists without knowing the solution?
if i remember correctly, some mathematicians made a failed attempt to prove that riemann had no solution.

did riemann know the solution?

No, Riemann himself said he does not know. This is why it is called a hypothesis.
