Higher Ground to Co-Produce Broadway's Proof Revival

Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground will co-produce Broadway's revival of Proof, the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play by David Auburn, starring Ayo Edebiri and Don Cheadle. The strictly limited 16-week engagement at the Booth Theatre begins March 31, with an April 16 opening; Jin Ha and Samira Wiley also star, marking Higher Ground's Broadway debut. Producers Mike Bosner and Thomas Kail are leading the project, and the Obamas say Proof explores brilliance, doubt, and legacy while expanding Higher Ground's work from film/TV/podcasts into theater.

"From 'Jew-ish' to Proof: George Santos' Convincing Evidence of His Grandparents' Holocaust Survival"

Rep. George Santos, a New York Republican, claims to have Jewish ancestry and is gathering proof to confirm his grandparents' status as Holocaust survivors. Santos has hired genealogists to verify his Jewish heritage, but faces challenges due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, where his grandfather is from. Santos expressed frustration at people doubting his heritage and previously referred to himself as "Jew-ish" due to his maternal family's Jewish background. He has survived two resolutions to expel him from Congress and is facing federal charges of fraud and identity theft.

"Mathematicians' Bold Journey to Precision"

Mathematicians Kevin Ren and Hong Wang have posted a proof of the Furstenberg set conjecture, a problem that has stumped mathematicians for two decades. The conjecture involves determining the minimum amount of dust covering an endless piece of paper with lines. Ren and Wang's proof, which is still a preprint and awaiting thorough review, combines two special cases previously proven by other mathematicians. The probability of correctness is estimated at 95%, and Ren hopes the final journal version will be as elegant as a work of art.
