Mathematician Claims Proof of Riemann Hypothesis

Posted by timothy on from the peer-review-pending dept.

TheSync points to this press release about a Purdue University mathematician, Louis de Branges de Bourcia, who claims to have "proven the Riemann hypothesis, considered to be the greatest unsolved problem in mathematics. It states that all non-trivial zeros of the zeta function lie on the line 1/2 + it as t ranges over the real numbers. You can read his proof here. The Clay Mathematics Institute offers a $1 million prize to the first prover."

    Are the mods on crack? Clearly this post is a joke, as the parent that posted the original link posted AC. It may be a non-slashdottable version, but it is no more Karma-whoring free than the other one.
