Proof Without Words vs. Words Without Proof
The top image shows a beautiful visual proof of the sum of first n natural numbers formula (n(n+1)/2) using a geometric arrangement of squares. No words needed—just elegant mathematical visualization. Meanwhile, the bottom shows someone confidently declaring mathematical conjectures "obviously true" based solely on computational verification without rigorous proof. Classic mathematician's nightmare. Every mathematician knows that computational evidence, no matter how extensive, isn't proof. The gap between 10 21 and infinity is still... infinite. But try explaining that to someone who thinks checking a few trillion cases is "good enough."
