Can /sci/ solve the issue of the Collatz Conjecture?

The conjecture is that if you apply f(n) to an integer enough times in a row it will eventually reach a value of 1 at some point.

The problem with the conjecture is that it is unproven but in practice for every number tested it results in the number 1 (eventually).

In theory it is possible that a number could cause an infinite loop eventually though that prevents a number from ever reaching one no matter how many times you apply f(n) to it but that is undiscovered and unproven as well.
