The paper is quite straightforward and use only math from the first or second year of the university. If you understand the word "module" and have 15 minutes to loose, give it a try. Ignoring the reference to unrelated results about prime numbers, the main idea is that to check if a number is prime: 1) First check the remainder modulo 10, modulo 9 and modulo 24. This part is correct, but it's suspicious that they was…

Thanks for the summary. > First check the remainder modulo 10, modulo 9 and modulo 24. This makes zero sense already. First, 9=3 x 3, so checking for 3 is sufficient. (Checking for 9 might be easier in decimal, but why the hell would you do cryptography in decimal?) Then there’s the 24=2 x 2 x 2 x 3. Again, why not just use 6, but even worse, there’s no new factor here that’s not already covered by 10 and 9. (And as…

> Checking for 9 might be easier in decimal

It isn't. The test is the same in both cases.

Here's a instagram post from the founder: https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/1ba57134a58455de0595824... Also look at his papers. He likes to draw a lot instead of doing math.

It reminds me of the "math stuff" from Aronofsky's movie "PI"...with the exception that I enjoyed "PI".

One of their sister companies actually sells healing crystals: https://arkcrystals.com/

"Replicating the magnetohydrodynamics naturally occurring in a variety of astrophysical objects, which couples plasma modes to the harmonic structure of the quantum vacuum — the Harmonic Flux Resonator (HFR) replicates and transfers quantum energy." ... it says on the website and then it links on to a website which offers energy derived from vacuum: Vacuum Energy Energy extracted directly from the vacuum. Nothing to…

> Energy extracted directly from the vacuum. Nothing to burn, nothing to consume, nothing to destroy. No fumes, no toxins, no limitations.

So, it is nothing. Shieeet I wish I could sell nothing to people for money.

Perhaps he’s from the future. But I’d guess he’d say, “Only _time_ will tell.”

Upvoted for more dad jokes on HN.

Yeah, tough crowd. Pulled the quote right from that promo reel.

Sure it's not documentary makers seeing how far they can take it? This looks like a piss-take.

the team page supports your point ( https://www.crownsterling.io/2019/05/alan-green/ ):

"Alan [...] dedicated the last fifteen years to decrypting mathematical codes in Shakespeare’s writings that have revealed unknown sacred geometry hidden in the pyramids of Giza."

i don't think anyone will invest so much time into such a bungled attempt of con-artistry, so this does look more like a (costly) hoax.

maybe it is intended to discredit certain players in SecOps, Sokal-affair-style ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair ).

The video effects are beautiful. This could easily be the intro of a successful Netflix series. I watched it completely (4:40 min) because the graphics and all the mumbo-jumbo mesmerized me.

It looks like all instances of "module" here should be "modulo", having been auto-incorrected or something.

Ups. I'm from argentina, so blame the autotranslation table inside my brain. I hope it's not bad enough to make the idea unintelligible.

I think this guy will be eating out on "getting shutdown for telling the truth" for years to come. Just looking at the kinds of things this guy has done on youtube, yeah...they are definitely in the whole "mainstream science is a conspiracy camp".

The whole pyramids thing is hilarious...I can't remember who coined the term, but "pyramidiots" is my favorite.
