The BSD conjecture states that if your name is long enough, it will always count as two letters on a famous conjecture.

Maybe also insert a joke about BSD Operating Systems if you're into that kind of stuff.

The conjecture states that Equation 1. "BSD conjecture" holds for every elliptic curve over the rational numbers (which is defined by its constants $a$ and $b$)

The conjecture, if true, provides a (possibly inefficient) way to calculate the rank of an elliptic curve over the rational numbers, since we can calculate the number of elements of an elliptic curve over a finite field by Schoof's algorithm in polynomial time. So it is just a matter of calculating $N_p$ like that up to some point at which we are quite certain about $r$.

The Wikipedia page of the this conecture is the perfect example of why it is not possible to teach natural sciences on Wikipedia. A million dollar problem, and the page is thoroughly incomprehensible unless you already know everything!

Almost deep tech but possibly without labs:

A polynomial with multiple input arguments, e.g. with two inputs $x$ and $y$:as opposed to a polynomial with a single argument e.g. one with just $x$:

It is important to note that due to horizontal gene transfer, the early days of life, and still bacteria to this day due to bacterial conjugation, are actually a graph and not a tree, see also: Figure "Graph of life".

Definitely have a look at: coral of life representations.

The polynomials together with polynomial addition and multiplication form a commutative ring.

The United Kingdom is one big field.

Everything is extremely uniform and fully controlled by humans. Maybe this is partially due to it being an island with extensive flood plains. Loots of white mana floating around there.

Some impressively sounding natural parks look more like cute countryside that is slightly hillier than the surrounding countryside.

This uniformity does however make it quite comfortable for its Hobbit inhabitants.

It also means that whenever slightly out of the ordinary happens, e.g., a bit of slightly heavier rain, everything floods. In some way however, the Brits are very pragmatic, and as long as the flood is not too bad, they just let it be, it might be cheaper.

FFFFF 000 points to its own physical address FFFFF 000. This kind of translation is called an "identity mapping", and can be very convenient for OS-level debugging.
