“How good is the evidence for the Riemann Hypothesis? To date, ten trillion zeros of the zeta function have been found, and they all lie exactly in the middle of the ‘critical strip,’ just where Riemann predicted. Any reasonable scientist, in any other subject, would have declared the problem solved long ago. However, in such matters mathematicians are not reasonable.”
— Dana Mackenzie in “The Universe In Zero Words”
