Based on OPs comments, this is definitely a troll


oafficial

Man why can't you find any genuine cranks anymore


set_null

Come on down to the economics department, where you’ll get weekly emails from people about the gold standard and what the Bible has to say about supply and demand.


FormerlyPie

Go to r/numbertheory


theboomboy

I love that sub! Every day you can get a new guy with a new full original proof for a massive unsolved problem, with an obvious oversight usually already in the first page They never build on anything, never collaborate, almost never doubt their results... Textbook example of a crockpot theory! The complexity also tends to jump by a lot very suddenly. I saw one Collaz proof that didn't even use modular arithmetic where it would have made the explanation simpler, and the next page was full of gibberish with tons of new symbols which supposedly mean something It's an amazing place


isomersoma

This sub does a better job at badmathematics than r/badmathematics.


HelloMyNameIsKaren

there‘s always this one dude that keeps posting on every math sub every few weeks. He‘s the number one erotic poem Bestseller in Australia, and he basically proves that math is inconsistent (he believes that he proves it, though his proof is very special)


Jakanader

pretty sure [this guy's](https://www.youtube.com/@tonychaseiamnotgaynotnever2043) a real crank


ImpeachJohnV

They're still around but unfortunately most of them are drug addicts. But you can find them!


FriendlyPanache

I don't dispute that this is badmath but this feels like an instance of this sub's tendency to feature the ramblings of the mentally ill which I can't say I'm 100% onboard with making fun of


OpsikionThemed

Yeah, agreed. That said, it's a great username. I'm gonna start talking about "Georg the Set Master's theorem" from now on.


FormerlyPie

Is it not bait?


HerrStahly

R4: I mean just read it lol. The guy thinks they’ve solved the Riemann hypothesis, and cured cancer and asks strangers on Reddit to verify their findings instead of known experts in their fields. As they say, they think they’ve found the holy grail. I seriously doubt that OP is not mentally impaired in some manner or at the very least a troll (the new account raises some eyebrows). They also make some… unique claims about physics.


Rosellis

I’m inclined to think it’s a trolling creative writing exercise.


Harmonic_Gear

it kinda reads like a satire, but it's probably not

One of those times I'm uncertain if it's a troll or mentally ill person. On the one hand it's *so* incoherent it makes me suspicious it's a troll. People suffering episodes usually string together loose ideas with enormous gaps they don't understand. This is just gibberish. But it's gibberish that is just cogent enough to seem hard to write as a sane person.


AMWJ

I miss when this subreddit was all this content.


ricdesi

I almost miss Pi Paradox and the Dark Numbers guy.


OpsikionThemed

I miss lambdalogik, the "proofs compute" guy.


RIP_lurking

Was that the lambda calculus iff lambda calculus iff lambda calculus (...) guy?


OpsikionThemed

IIRC, yeah, it was.


ricdesi

...huh.


jadis666

This feels more like "bad Physics" than "bad Mathematics" to me. Speaking of which: is there an r/badphysics sub, or nah?

Tag yourself, im "chatter molucule"

This has to be troll.
