Why AI Can’t Crack the 3D Kakeya Conjecture – A Deep Analysis of Wang Hong’s Breakthrough

The article examines the century‑old 3D Kakeya conjecture, explains why the problem is dramatically harder than its 2D counterpart, reviews historic attempts, details Wang Hong’s multi‑scale proof that finally settled the conjecture, and argues that current AI lacks the strategic creativity to achieve such breakthroughs on its own.

Exploring the Kakeya Conjecture: A Codex‑Powered Interactive Lab After Wang Hong’s Fields Medal

The article explains the history and recent proof of the three‑dimensional Kakeya conjecture, describes how the author used Codex to create an interactive Three.js experiment that visualizes the conjecture, and outlines a reusable workflow for turning complex scientific ideas into accessible web demos.
