I saw this headline but considering it’s the businesses insider I was suspicious as well as the massive overhype of any non white make who does something so I assumed that there is more to this than them proving a theorem
Because the theorem underpins trigonometry, experts have thought it impossible to prove, since you can't use trigonometry without already accepting that the theorem is correct.
The real title was even more ridiculous than your snarky one.
Why the fuck is this even a story? They haven't submitted anything.
What fucking entitlement is this shit?
You know, the theorem that can be demonstrated by a clever fifth-grader and a bucket of water.
Not a mathematician here. Had it been proven before with logic? (math proofs?)
I wonder if the person suggesting they submit to a journal was simply being polite.
It's been proven dozens of ways.
The actual claim is that they've proven it with trig, which is probably impossible.
How can you prove something with the thing it is the basis of?
In order to do trig you have to assume that the pythagreon theorem is true. If you assume it's true, you can't prove it.
Correct.
This is on par with the feminist definition of a woman.
"Anyone who identifies as a woman"
The Wikipedia page for Pythagorean Theorem lists 9 different ways to prove that the theorem is true.
Look wypipo, we dun say we proved dis pietharoemen teaory. If you dun say we did than you be a rayciss and maff is rayciss too.

White girl journalist is very very confused.
