Poincaré Conjecture Verified

This is very very big news in mathematics.

Thoughts? If you haven't heard of the conjecture, it is actually quite easy to understand. It relates to topology, so read an intro guide on that, and then have a read of the question on the Clay Math site.

A much more recent news, and a much bigger one as far as I'm concerned, is that the Hodge and Tate conjectures seem to have been proven false. That's going to make a huge fuss at ICM.
