| Sep 23, 2019 at 18:17 | comment | added | Tim Campion | Maybe there should be a parallel "commentable mathematics" -- results that can fit in an MO comment. And its arcane cousin "previewable mathematics" -- mathematical questions which are short enough that the full text of the question fits into the question preview that you see on the MO question page (you have to select a tag to see this -- otherwise you only see the question title). | |

| May 5, 2017 at 15:40 | comment | added | Gil Kalai | Dear Yves, regarding reopening, in view of the very board interpretation of the question, I myself had mixed feelings about it, and, for this question, did not vote. However, now that the initial stream of answers anyway ended, I like the idea of useful real-time mathematical tweets in rare cases when (and if) a major tweetable advances will occur. | |

You know the thing is, I foolishly composed an answer to this interesting question before I noticed that I am not welcome here on account of not having posted to this particular site before. Your welcoming words are testament to the quality and professionalism of this site and its moderators, I presume. Thank you for introducing yourself. | |

Not having posted to mo before, I am of course unable to post an answer as I don't have the requisite reputation. Well... maybe I'll just waste my time elsewhere, then! | |

| Apr 26, 2017 at 12:58 | comment | added | Gil Kalai | My initial intention was indeed that the "tweet" gives more than just the statement of the result but also the essence of the argument/novelty. To demand that a mathematician in the field can fill the details is too much to ask for. | |

| Apr 26, 2017 at 12:52 | comment | added | Neal | Perhaps the next big MO question should be, "What is the essence of a mathematical result?" I myself lean toward Federico's interpretation- pithifying a theorem's statement does not necessarily clarify or illuminate the ideas at play. | |
| Apr 26, 2017 at 12:50 | comment | added | Kimball | While I don't quite agree with Federico Poloni's interpretation, I don't understand how this question is not far too broad? Lots of results can be distilled into aphorisms once you assume enough. Where does one make the cutoff? | |

| Apr 26, 2017 at 10:21 | comment | added | Francesco Polizzi | @FedericoPoloni: what is it, a kind of joke? Could you please indicate to me where exactly in the question it is written that the tweet should be such that "a mathematician with good knowledge of the field can fill in the details and complete a proof"? Honestly, I do not think that your personal interpretation of the locution "essence of a notable mathematical development" should be taken as a rule here. | |
| Apr 26, 2017 at 10:16 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | I feel like most of the answers are mis-interpreting the question. This doesn't ask for a result whose statement is in 140 characters; that would be too broad: most paper titles fit in them. It asks for a result whose essence is tweetable: given the tweet alone, a mathematician with good knowledge of the field can fill in the details and complete a proof. So I am going to downvote almost all of them. | |
