My fellow math lovers, is this the P NP problem that has been solved?

Question

If not, which one is it? I know it's not the Riemann Theory for sure.

Thanks a bunch, the info is most facinating!

Here's an Wikipedia article about E8:

After glancing through it I realized I have absolutely NO IDEA what they're talking about. Toruses, symmetries, tensors...

One thing for sure - it's not a P vs NP, as that problem would require a solid proof to be resolved, not a bunch of computations. Also, I think P vs NP is much younger than 1890s
