  1.  @vincentcampaert8497  the problem is you gotta find a PROOF or PROVE that this 3x+1 sequence always "ALWAYS" ends up in this 4, 2, 1 loop for ANY value of X. WE'RE SURE THAT NUMBERS FROM 1 TO 2^60 OBEY THIS RULE AND END UP IN THIS LOOP BUT 2^60 OBSERVATIONS ISN'T REALLY THAT BIG OF A SAMPLE SPACE. WE'VE TO PROVE THIS MATHEMATICALLY, NOT STATISTICALLY! DO YOU GET ITTTTTT!??????

  2.  @vincentcampaert8497  No, we don't know every number would do it. We're sure only about 2^60 numbers. 2^60 numbers is less than 0.000001% of the entire number line. How do you know it's impossible not to end up with an even number at some point? What's your PROOF for that?

  3.  @licanueto  I don't think views matter much when he's making enough money....

  5. There was never American science in the first place. It was all the Soviet Russians and some Europeans pushing the development of science.
