@futurebird new math being done today - "Two Teen Girls Made History For Developing Five New Proofs Of The Pythagorean Theorem"
"some mathematicians claimed that a proof using trigonometry was impossible"
When I first saw this elsewhere they said that in addition to the 5 proofs they published they think others are possible and I think the paper has scaffolding for one new proof
