It's refreshing to see Indian news highlighting Black American excellence in STEM fields. In the US media, the focus often leans towards entertainment news, particularly in music and sports. This positive coverage is a welcome reminder of the vast contributions Black Americans make across all disciplines. One Love
Was thinking the same thing.
this has gone internationally viral
@@Fish-cj4ub Sadly in the US, the Kendrick Lamar and Drake Hip-hop beef is headlining news...smh
@@rashadnassor7519 the same people that control the us media controls yours.
Thank you for highlighting this excellent achievement WION. These girls - and the teachers and school - absolutely deserve the recognition.
500 dollars for solving a puzzle that's $2,000 years old these kids deserve more money
25¢ per year.
@@hifijohn😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey. 25 cents 2000 yrs ago was lotta money
😂
they focussed on the wrong field bruh. Ery black folk know sports or music to get out of da hood
I applaud you for highlighting this awesome achievement 👏 ❤
Soooooo very proud of my sisters!!!! We can achieve anything ..,........even the "Impossible"!!!!! This is true greatness❤
jason Zimba did it first in 2009! Look it up!
These girls are stars all around the world
I am so proud of these two young ladies. Continuing in our legacy of greatness 🙌🏾🙌🏾👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤️
$500? I see a Nobel prize here
If they accepted the $500 or 1 penny this would disqualified them to enter as co-nominees, you have to volunteer without any gifts, bonuses and or money to be nominated for the Nobel science prize in mathematics
@@jorad4887 thanks. I did not know that
There is no Nobel prize for math.
With everything going wrong in America these recent days... this is such a feel good story... America thumps up!
Hopefully they receive a lot more than $500.
What was so notable that most people do not report is that they did not work together. They worked separately on the proof. They submitted their individual proofs and got awards.
The Whole World is Watching!
Nice😎👍💯💯💯
You can use the Law of Sines with ANY and ALL proofs of the Pythagorean Theorems.
Sine = Opposite/hypotenuse.
Law of Sines: a/sin(a) = b/sin(b) = c/sin(c)
For any Right triangle:
a/sin(a) = a/(a/c) = c
b/sin(b) = b/(b/c) = c
c/sin(c) = c/(c/c) = c
For any Right triangle: a/sin(a) = b/sin(b) = c/sin(c) = c
Which means for any Right Triangle: (a/sin(a))^2 = (b/sin(b))^2 = (c/sin(c))^2 = c^2
THEREFORE for any right triangle: a^2 + b^2 = (a/sin(a))^2 = (b/sin(b))^2 = (c/sin(c))^2 = c^2
Bp are genuis too.. they just a dd to the list of young black kids in mensa , preteens in colleges.. accepted in many colleges we not only good at, 😂😜 entertainment✊🏿👏🏾
Why couldn't GPT-4 or Devin AI solve the problem
So much hate. Only God could help us those hater are hurt people and that how they express themselves by trying to pull Otho down
I'd love to hear about the racism they faced for solving it.
@rayjaymoney1441 By all accounts, the girls don't appear to be stuck on it, they want it celebrated for what it is: "a great mathematical achievement"-and it is!
I’m tired of that - I just want to hear how Americans are also kicking ass in STEM!
@@rareearthelement8698they were shielded by their parents and teachers from the flood of racism. This is America.
I’m sure it’s bullshit
Jackson's proof is literally an exact copy of a proof fron 1896 by B. F. Yanney and J. A. Calderhead which can be found at cut-the-knot pythagoras proof 60.
Johnson's proof is a geometric series that can be found in many Calculus books. She just added a triangle to an infinite geometric series that was already a proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Even if you did accept it as a "new" proof, which it isn't, it's not a trigonometric proof. It would be a geometric and a calculus proof.
When it comes to this, I’m always skeptical… cause I’ve heard so many damn lies over the years

Please, like creating synonyms. Nothing new to see here, other than politics.

Thank you melanin.......and thank you India for being first cos the amerikkkan media can be so sore👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Don't forget Pythagoras plagiarized the theorem from kemet in Africa. This is not surprising at all coming from African Americans
Jason Zimba did it first in 2009!
Ancient egyptians where middle eatern levant people.... not black!
😂😂 no he didn’t there’s no records of the theorem in Egyptian history and I’m an Egyptian, when Pythagoras went to Egypt it was apart of the achaemenid empire, cut the crap
@@Ondaloose1 😂🤣😂 you just exposed your ignorance. The so-called "Pythagoras" theorem is all over the monuments in kemet which can only mean they knew it to be able to use it. This is common sense dude. And you current "Egyptians" are Turkic/Slavic invaders of about 1500 years ago and you found everything in place and all you have done is destroy it. You have added absolutely nothing to the greatest African civilization that the rest of the world copied

This is so clickbaity that it's hilarious. In no way is the Pythagorean theorem 'unsolved for 2000 ways'; on the contrary, it is the theorem with the highest number of proofs. The proof using trigonometry is neat, but nothing miraculous.
Lol if it was deemed impossible, how do they know it's the right answer.
its a proof. work it and it proves itself.
Sigh
I am guessing that someone doesn't understand what a proof is. SMH. Congratulations ladies.
Are you a mathematician?
Nothing extraordinary. Any indian kid would have done this in 4th standard.
Then why didn't they?
You should learn to look outside of yourself and celebrate other’s achievements…. You know, like a good human being
I believe this is scripted… those girls lack enthusiasm for math
