SF: Sad part, my discoveries against politics

Now I am sitting here amazed as much as anything at yet another major mathematical find.

S = (k_1*sqrt(x) + k_2*sqrt(y))*(k_3*sqrt(x) + k_4*sqrt(y))

is just one of those glorious kinds of brilliant ideas that just catch your breath. Who'd a thunk it? Use the ambiguity of the square root function to factor?

Well, I did. So all those stupid arguments where I kept pointing out that the square root function returns TWO VALUES helped, as when I was puzzling over my latest failed factoring idea, it occurred to me to use something that couldn't have just one answer, and asking myself how, I figured, hey, use square roots!!!

But now here's the sad part, where math people prove they are not who most people think they are, which isn't a surprise to me, unfortunately, as here we go again.

I have multiple math discoveries. My techniques use the most modern problem solving techniques, and I have proven time and time again that I get results.

And math people have proven time and time again that they lie about my results.

The first time I really had hard information about how bad it was, was when I'd explained my prime counting function—yet again—and in explaining it on the sci.math newsgroup, I realized that they had to get it.

There was just no way that if you looked with an objective eye at current prime number research, and considered what I found, that you could dismiss it, or claim it wasn't new.

But these people were doing just that.

And I learned that math people were liars. Years worked by as I pieced the puzzle together, and I figured out that there were too many people claiming to be mathematicians to be supported by the reality of the difficulty of innovative mathematical research, and that the human solution had been to start lying about coming up with discoveries, in areas where only the word of people was being used, and call it "pure".

Mathematical discovery is difficult not because there aren't lots of things to discover—mathematics is an infinite subject—but because the people who discover things are so rare, and they also tend to annoy other people who can't stand them.

History tends to forget that, as the stories get white-washed, so that people talk less about how hated and feared Isaac Newton was than nice little stories like of a little boy sitting under a tree getting hit in the head with an apple.

There are an infinite number of things in mathematics to discover, but hey, how many people are going to do something like sit down, consider the factoring problem for over three years, and then suddenly think to use square roots to factor?

Or sit down for over two weeks thinking about prime numbers and come up with their own prime counting function from scratch?

See an old Wikpedia article of mine in the history pages where I wrote the first prime counting function article for the Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prime_counting_function&oldid=9142249

You can see my prime counting function there, and I look at it, and still don't quite know why I figured it out, or why no one else did over the last two thousand years.

I can do things—after puzzling for years—that no one else seems to have been bothered to do, like my definition of mathematical proof seems easy enough to me. So why am I the one to give it?

So, here we are now with the factoring problem, and if math people try to sit on this like with all my other research, THIS TIME, the world will, I think, find it important to learn why, and all those questions I've wanted to ask, will get asked, as all of you are revealed, your lives peered into, and your computers' hard drives combed, for clues about what you were thinking and doing.

The clock is ticking.

I think it is sad, but at least in this case, the longer you wait, the more thoroughly your lives can be checked, as the public will demand to know, why.

And if enough people demand to know why, your lives will be turned upside down, as people comb through them, check everything, looking for answers.

And along with them, finally, I can find out as well, how you people do some of the things you do, like how you've ignored my mathematical research for so long, but kept acting like you like mathematics, or lectured, or wrote papers.

I want to know how you did it. I want to understand you. Know what was going on in your heads, and how you kept going, when I've been out here, looking for something to end this, and if you had a clue of the necessity of this ending.

Did you try to live your life like nothing, not protecting yourself, not doing anything to defend yourself, as if the mathematics could really be blocked, even though you should have known how the story had to end?

If so, how? If so, why?
