Stable irrationality conjecture for very general cubic hypersurfaces

Let n3n\geq 3 and let XPn+1X\subset \mathbb P^{n+1} be a very general cubic hypersurface. Stable irrationality conjecture. XX is not stably rational. The conjecture asks whether the known stable irrationality bounds for very general hypersurfaces can be made constant in the cubic case; it is open even in low dimensions, including the case of cubic threefolds.
