Okay, who has read Michael Atiyah's paper? If you have, what do you think? Are you convinced, almost convinced, or completely rejecting his proof? State your reasoning behind your opinion.

not convinced by his proof because I am convinced by this disproof:

Did you watch the lecture? Atiyah is clearly senile. He spent 5 minutes talking about how The Man Who Knew Infinity won a bunch of Oscars.

i read both papers and i am not convinced, since the claims are WAY out there, probably too good to be true.

but if someone were to reproduce the calculation of the fine structure constant using the prescribed extended bernoulli numbers method he recommends, that would be very intriguing. if you can pop out a number that agrees with alpha to 9 (or more) decimal places, then OMFG for real

Nope. Their papers were not very good but very much business as usual as far as published science goes. If they are frauds then so are most other PhDs.

If that were true then physics would be physicizing math instead of crying about mathematicians mathematizing physics because physicists can't handle their own shit like adults and mathematicians have to come in and reformulate their word vomit into coherent statements.

Nobody but brainlet tier physicists and crackpots cry about this, we can both agree on that.

Have you studied physics and math? If so then you may be qualified to say that. If you haven't studied both of those fields then your opinion is worthless. In that case do kindly fuck off :)

>>10032143
That paper is fair enough, but entirely hinges on whether or not the properties of the Todd functions are what he says they are. Which does not appear to be the case, so the proof fails.
