In mathematics, a conjecture is a mathematical statement which appears likely to be true, but has not been formally proven to be true under the rules of mathematical logic. Once a conjecture is formally proven true it is elevated to the status of theorem and may be used afterwards without risk in the construction of other formal mathematical proofs. Until that time, mathematicians may use the conjecture on a provisional basis, but any resulting work is itself provisional until the underlying conjecture is cleared up. In scientific philosophy, Karl Popper pioneered the use of the term "conjecture" to indicate a proposition which is presumed to be real, true, or genuine, mostly based on inconclusive grounds, in contrast with a hypothesis (hence theory, axiom, principle), which is a testable statement based on accepted grounds. Until recently, the most famous conjecture was the mis-named Fermat's last theorem, mis-named because although Fermat claimed to have found a clever proof of it, none could be found among his notes after his death. The conjecture taunted mathematicians for over three centuries before Andrew Wiles, a Princeton University research mathematician, finally proved it in 1993, and now it may properly be called a theorem. Other famous conjectures include

November 06, 2008
SEO is an area of great conjecture, theory and pontification by so–called experts. Most have never worked in the fields of Marketing or Advertising.

2. Indian Real Estate
October 16, 2008
We are at a defining point in the history of Indian real estate. Rarely has a business sector seen so much churn, conjecture, simultaneous pessimism, optimism and prophetic predictions in the space of just a few months.
To say the very least, these are interesting times. There has been a slowdown in Indian real estate because an amalgam of reasons - overheating of prices in certain regions, reduced liquidity among developers because of the credit crunch and a watch-and-wait stance among property buyers as they anticipate a blanket correction in the sector. This cannot be attributed solely... (read more)

5. "He Said, She Said"
August 15, 2008
Confusion, conjecture, mystery and sometimes, even madness always seem to surround the words of those who are famous for the “he said, she said” lines. You can never really get anything straightforward from them, only baseless thoughts, ideas and statements that are suspiciously lacking in validity and truth. They never seem quite sure of the “specifics”. When confronted with questions, their resources become nameless shadows and their references are only relegated to the status of the “he said, she said” category. “He said” this or, “she said” that. “He” or “She” can say many things about e...

9. Poker's History
January 25, 2008
Studying the history of poker is a worthwhile venture. However, it will be tough to trace back to its exact origins. Its history goes way back and the exact origin is more conjecture than concrete fact.
According to the dictionary, poker was derived from the French word poque in the early 1800s. And in those days, poque wasn't even poker. According to sources, community card poker games, such as Texas Hold'em, didn't come into existence until the 1920s.
Ah the 1920s-girls, gangsters and music. Back then poker was played in super-secret locations where finely dressed gangsters would ... (read more)

11. Can Colonic Irrigation be Harmful?
November 18, 2007
There is a lot of conjecture both within and outside the medical profession on the leading question: is colonic irrigation harmful? Ask any doctor and you will usually receive one of two answers. One is absolutely not and the other is usually not too clear. The reason for the indecision is that most doctors find it hard to prove that colonic irrigation is harmful and many more, especially of the younger generation will wholeheartedly endorse flushing the colon to remove the impurities that the body can build up there over a period of time.
It goes without saying that any doctor who will ... (read more)

16. The Origin of Baseball
May 01, 2006
There is very little known about the origins of baseball. There appears to be a historic mish-mash of very early games that may very well have ties to modern baseball. The idea that baseball evolved from any of these sources turns out to be conjecture or theory. Like most history, if it goes back far enough, details start to get quite fuzzy. By its very nature, baseball has been a game that has thrived on legends and myth.
There is evidence that baseball is strictly American, as many of its features are unique. Conversely, many cling to the long held belief that baseball was d... (read more)

17. Red Rover, Red Rover, There Is Conjecture All Over
March 25, 2004
No sooner did the two Mars Rovers plop down on the Red Planet in January and begin relaying pictures back to Earth than the conspiracy theories started to fly and people were seeing strange objects in the Martian sand. It's almost as if the country is divided into two camps: those who vehemently deny that the rovers are actually on Mars, and those who see something damn odd in those NASA photographs.
The first group, the conspiracy theorists, point to evidence that suggests the whole mission was staged and what we've really been seeing are nothing more than high-resolution postcards from a d... (read more)
