MODERATORS
Someone thought they had discovered something and claimed to have proof.
No one remembers what it was.
There's a Wikipedia article about the fact no one remembers.
This is so weird.

For example Fermat’s Last Theorem
That one's really incredible. A 17th century person discovers something and we find out he was right by the end of the 20th? Did I understand right?
