Nigeria: What do we do this things for?
Since we are in a season of prize winners, from the
Golden Eagles to young genius that won the world
scrabble championship I was not surprised to read this
weekend that the country got another accolade, this
time in the rarefied field of Mathematics. Out of
excitement and curiosity I went online to find out what
our professor of mathematics really did and how the
rest of the world perceived it and how they showered
him and by corollary Nigeria with accolades.
I was disappointed and put on the alert when I
discovered the story was only covered in Nigerian blogs
and the that they were all similarly worded.
I asked Senia Sheydvasser a PhD Mathematics student
at Yale University about this earth shaking
development and this is what he said.
'Everything about this reeks of it being fake. To start
with, the credentials attributed to Dr. Enoch are entirely
implausible. I was particularly amused by the line
about discovering a "scientific technique for detecting
and tracking someone on an evil mission." What does
that even mean? Does this techniques read thoughts to
determine whether someone is planning something evil?
Can this technique be used to track someone who is on
a mission that is in a moral gray area? What if they
aren't so much on a mission so much as they partake
in the occasional recreational evil? It makes no sense.
I decided to look up the proceedings of the
International Conference on Mathematics and Computer
Science. Indeed, there does seem to have been a Dr.
Enoch who spoke at this conference, and who talked
about the spectral theory interpretation of the Riemann
Hypothesis. However, the abstract does not seem to
suggest that Dr. Enoch was announcing a proof of RH.
It gets worse. Surely such an important paper would
have to be published somewhere? Perhaps it would be
on ArXiV or elsewhere on the Internet. I decided to
have a look. I can't seem to find any trace of
something like "A matrix that generates the point
spectral of the Riemann Zeta function", which was the
title of Dr. Enoch's talk.
However, there is a paper titled "A Proof of the
Riemann Hypothesis" online, uploaded by someone who
claims to be Opeyemi Enoch, up on Academia.edu. If,
indeed, this is Opeyemi Enoch that uploaded this paper,
then he is guilty of very sloppy, very blatant plagiarism.
To start with, the paper doesn't even have his name on
it! It has the name of Werner Raab, who (I checked)
published a paper online in 2013 that is almost line for
line identical to the one on Academia.edu.
I will admit that I didn't bother going through his paper
(there are enough wrong proofs of RH on the Internet to
drown in), but a quick overlook of the methods used
(along with the fact that no one has heard of this
paper in two years) suggests that there is a 0% chance
that it could possibly be right.
So, to summarize, no, the Riemann Hypothesis has not
been solved. A general note: be suspicious of any story
of this significance that does not get covered by any
reputable news source, particularly when they claim not
that a solution has been proposed to a long-standing
conjecture, but that it has been solved outright. That is
sensationalist garbage---the real world does not work
like that.'
Micheal Jørgensen, a PhD holder in Mathematics also
said,
'There are a lot of copies of the story you cited, but no
evidence to support the story.
On Academia.edu - Share research Dr. Enoch has
uploaded a number of paper regarding the Riemann
Hypothesis, but none with himself as author: Federal
University, Oye-Ekiti - Academia.edu.'
So what exactly is this about?
The stink of the fake Philip Emeagwali is still in the air,
why are we letting ourselves in for another round of
international ridicule.

quick search on the internet to verify this and i ended up here. Of course seeing other forums discussing this. Apparently the same guy has a mathematical method to determine and trach someone on an evil mission. ![]() Has the smell of rotten fish all over.

OP, the situation is tiring. Most people didn't even read the article, they just read the headlines and started celebrating mediocrity as usual. And when you try to correct them you're termed an ethnic bigot. Vanguard should be shut down and fined. 10 Likes |

God bless you oh!! I said this same thing on the other thread, and some people that dont like thinking were ready to swallow me!! Riemann hypothesis solved and its only vanguard and osundefender that knows about it!!! Nothing on BBC, CNN or even The Clay Institue themselves .Very funny, hilarious sh!t and to think they were already fighting on South West and The yEAST!!! Stupidity is commonplace in this country. |
