The girls claim they were able to find a way to prove the Pythagorean Theorem using trigonometry without circular logic - something mathematicians have been trying to do for nearly 2,000 years. Their work still needs to be peer-reviewed. https://www.wwltv.com/amp/article/news/education/no-east-teens-make-pmathematical-discovery-2000-years-making/ https://amp.www.complex.com/life/new-orleans-teens-new-proof-math-pythagorean-theorem https://www.fox8live.com/2023/03/28/two-new-orleans-teens-make-math-discovery-2000-years-making/?outputType=amp https://meetings.ams.org/math/spring2023se/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/23621 https://www.insider.com/us-teens-claim-to-have-proved-pythagorean-theorem-thought-impossible-2023-3?amp

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1639924337850580993

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
