Goro Shimura, 89, Mathematician RIP
Goro Shimura, 89, Mathematician With Broad Impact, Is Dead https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/13/obituaries/goro-shimura-dead.html "His insights led to tools widely used in modern cryptography." "A proof of a form of the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture would also prove Fermat's Last Theorem. In the 1990s, Andrew Wiles, then also at Princeton, figured out how to do just that, and Fermat's Last Theorem had finally been proved true. Dr. Wiles, now at the University of Oxford in England, wrote in an email that the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture was "a fundamental pivot in the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem." The proof also employed other key results of Dr. Shimura's research, he said."

Should serve as thought reminder that there is at any time a number N, where N is the number of near to completely unknown eminently capable persons in the world working in total secrecy to crack the strongest cryptographic means publicly known to man. And a number C representing the odds that it has already been done, again remaining totally secret. Where secret above may refer to either a purely personal endeavour that stays with the solver to their grave, or a project sponsored by the usual suspects. And numbers, A representing the odds that any secretly held advances (not still retained by the solver) are being used in some fashion against you and yours including personally, and or for the exclusive benefit of the wielders... and, H that such secret advances are being used for some sort of impersonal altruistic godmode for humanity. N and C are numbers you may speculate using Fermi Estimate combined with known historical occurances and current opensource research. A is a known, but could be broken down into At = A for targeted use, and Ag = ? for aggregated use. G probably does not receive much attention outside alien conspiracy circles. N =? 10-25 C =? 50-70% A = 100% H <=? 10%
