Don't get excited.

The author also claims to have proved the twin prime conjecture. https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/The_Twin_Prime_Conject...

They don't seem to be affiliated with any university and don't seem to collaborate with anyone except this one person, Andrew Elliot.

My assessment of the probability that this is a real proof: Less than 0.1%.

Is there any real expert opinion on this? The abstract itself reads rather dense.

That said, if there's any field that "independent researchers" can excel, it should be math, it's not like you need an experimental group to crib off on.
