Dear CCL users,
Except for some bashing to a particular computational chemistry journal, in the last months we have been slow on controversial and/or philosophical questions (it feels like the double blind reviewing and the patriarchalization of conferences debates happened ages ago).
So here is a question. It draw my attention that there are lists of unsolved problems on several topics (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems), including chemistry.
What would be a List of Unsolved Problems in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry?
(Please dont say something obvious like solving the relativistic full CI of a protein.)
Best,
Sebastian
