"Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics." -- G. H. Hardy.

"Do not trust the 'experts'. Trust their sound practices and sound works."

Mathematical works especially proofs should be clear, concise, and complete as much as possible.

Please beware of the fact there are too many flawed publications in the vast literature of mathematics worldwide. Some them are cited often in other works of mathematics which may damage the creditability of those works unfortunately...

Please help the mathematics community worldwide to expose such flawed publications with fairness, rigorous review, and public disclosure. Our goal is to maintain the purity (truth, beauty, etc.) of mathematics.


Thank you!

"The Center For Scientific Integrity:

The mission of the Center for Scientific Integrity, the parent organization of Retraction Watch, is to promote transparency and integrity in science and scientific publishing, and to disseminate best practices and increase efficiency in science.

The goals of the Center fall under four broad areas:

A database of retractions, expressions of concern and related publishing events, generated by the work of Retraction Watch. The database will be freely available to scientists, scholars and anyone else interested in analyzing the information.
Long-form, larger-impact writing, including magazine-length articles, reports and books.
Scholarship on scientific integrity and incentives in science.

Aid and assistance to groups and individuals whose interests in transparency and accountability intersect with ours, and who could benefit from shared expertise and resources."

Publish-or-perish:
Peer review and the corruption of science:

Pressure on scientists to publish has led to a situation where any paper, however bad, can now be printed in a journal that claims to be peer-reviewed..."

"Scientists use a peer review process to help identify sound science.

Research Results:

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] Step 1. Scientific paper

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] Peer review by experts in field

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] if Paper is rejected goto step 1 otherwise, go to Step 2.

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] Step 2. Paper is accepted.

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] Paper is published in scientific journal.

[tex]\rightarrow[/tex] Step 3. Research evaluated by scientific community..."

Remark: Step 3 is very important and essential to make sure that the research content of published papers is sound science.

"Book Overview:

"Hype is the best kind of nonfiction: juicy, sharp, savage, and wildly entertaining, with a celebrity behaving badly on every page. What more could you want?" -Cat Marnell, New York Times-bestselling author of How to Murder Your LifeFrom former Vice journalist and executive producer of hit Netflix documentary Fyre comes to an eye-opening look at the con artists, grifters, and snake oil salesmen of the digital age--and why we can't stop falling for them. We live in an age where scams are the new normal. A charismatic entrepreneur sells thousands of tickets to a festival that never happened. Respected investors pour millions into a start-up centered around fake blood tests. Reviewers and celebrities flock to London's top-rated restaurant that's little more than a backyard shed. These unsettling stories of today's viral grifters have risen to fame and hit the front-page headlines, yet the curious conundrum remains: Why do these scams happen? Drawing from scientific research, marketing campaigns, and exclusive documents and interviews, former Vice reporter Gabrielle Bluestone delves into the irresistible hype that fuels our social media ecosystem, whether it's from the trusted influencers that peddled Fyre or the consumer reviews that sold Juicero. A cultural examination that is as revelatory as it is "

It is with a heavy heart, for ‘my mental health’ I must let this go. I have spent almost a year trying to get this ’new knowledge’ out to the world. Logic tells me that after this amount of effort with NO interest, let it go.
Letter to chancellor of Berkely University:
Mr. Lyons,
I have ‘Possible new knowledge’ in creating “REAL” random numbers on any computer that can run the Python language. There in lies the problem. Educators have been instructing that computers CAN NOT make real random numbers because they only follow a set of instruction and will ALWAYS have the same output. This has been true, only because no one has been able to show that it is untrue. I can.
An important thought process: Remember the blind persons describing the elephant by what they thought the elephant was after being introduced to different parts of the elephant. Leg= tree, tail= rope. It was the same elephant.
Everyday time, we take it for granted as it rules our lives. Could there be other dimensions of time? Yes. Time can be an ‘unknowable data point.’ That is new and will secure our world.
Explanation: Stopwatch Problems logic: These are NOT trick questions! I will show my answers below.
1. Time, it includes hours, minutes, seconds, and nanoseconds. True or False?
2. Clicking the button at the start of an event marks the beginning of the event. True or False?
3. The value of the beginning of the event CANNOT be known before it happens. True or False?
4. Output of a digital stopwatch CANNOT be known before it appears on screen. True or False?
5. Therefore, time can be used as an unknowable data point. True or False?
My answers:
#1 We all know time includes nanoseconds.... So true.
#2 Yes when using a stopwatch, the button starts and finishes the time event.... So true
#3 Time is linear, therefore as time passes you cannot know the exact nanosecond that is passing. It is like a big wheel with hours, minutes, seconds, and nanoseconds marks. As it spins you grab a time. One cannot know the exact time you grabbed till you look at it. So true
#4 Time is linear, therefore as time passes you cannot know the exact nanosecond that is passing.... so true.
#5 itself explanatory...... So true.
This is just deductive logic, the root of all math.
This is one half of what I have found. Problem is I cannot get this finished project seen by the correct people. People I believe need to see this is: Statistician and cryptography experts. Looking at proof of randomness, in data tables.
I am 74 years old, 60% disabled veteran, home bound. I would like to be able to give this knowledge to the world. Without unbreakable encryption humanity can be enslaved by those with quantum computers because they can read everything.
I hope you can help. Thanks for your time, I do not have much left.

Not even an email acknowledging receipt of the email. Just proves ‘you can lead a horse to water, but you CANNOT make it drink. I wish the world well. I’m glad I don’t have to put up for much longer with a messed-up world caused by the rich and powerful. Humanity is enslaved without bars by the rich and powerful. How many billions are they spending to enslave humanity? Why is humanity so uneducated by the rich (little logic, base of mathematics) that are in control? Answer: Deductive logic leads to clear thinking. It is not easy to lead educated citizens down the merry path earth is on (wars, poverty while rich in every country live very well).
