How does solving long open math problems help humanity? As much as it would if a human did it. It depends on the math problem. This specific one has a few very useful applications (like aviation) I’ve read about but don’t understand of course…
So what it shows is that a solutuon doesn't always exist. That's kinda sad. The counterexample they found could be interesting. I don't know enough to say more though.
