Wikipedia has a pretty interesting article about it. I have no special knowledge about the subject. Never understood it. Never studied it.

This mean theoretical mathematicians have nothing better to do. There is no practical application for any of this, except to build into other proofs that may have some theoretical application. Its the same as the Busy Beaver and Ackerman sequences - sort of. I’m not an egg head, but know some of this stuff. Just pretend you never heard of this story, and the world will continue to move as it always has.

I’ve been snooping around looking for applications. It’s considered very important for AI, quantum computing, cryptography, airline scheduling, etc. So it’s way up there in importance and not just some abstract intellectual exercise for pure mathematicians.
