@mostinho7 I would say in maths, definitely. especially considering the most powerful/universal theorems. like Fermat's conjecture. there are not many unproven conjectures that can be expressed as simply. maybe AI, quantic computing will push the boundaries further, but it's still diminishing returns

 @ares395 it's easier to recognize the lion's claw when there's only a couple lions (as the number of physicists/mathematicians potentially capable of solving a problem)

@mostinho7 maths haven't evolved as much as physics because math research only builds upon existing knowledge whereas physics builds upon existing knowledge + new expirementation. instruments of measures and experimental systems like telescopes, particle colliders, etc. maths have made some progress thanks to computers but not nearly as much as physics. the other aspect is the more things are discovered, the less things are left to be discovered. even if the pool of potential discoveries is still large, it's still getting smaller. also as amount of knowledge increases, it takes more and more time for one human to become aware of the state of the art and as a result researchers have to become more and and more focused on a narrower field.
