succinctly: it is supposed, but not yet proved, that P != NP. where P is the class of problems with optimal algorithmic solution that is polynomial time complexity and NP is the class of problems where proposed solutions can be checked in polynomial time complexity but...

...there it is proved that there is no polynomial time complexity algorithm that finds the optimal solution.

relevant to your decentralization interests: many problems that are technically relevant to running distributed systems are in the NP class. Might be worth learning about it.
