Simple factoring result, but what about lies?
I put up a post yesterday about how loose connectivity from using congruences works with these simple equations to produce an approach to the factoring problem.
You can read my posts on the subject and at least one other post from someone else has appeared in the thread.
I have posted on this subject at other newsgroups and there have been people who have similarly posted in reply simply declaring things about the method, or even being derogatory to me.
Now my question to you is, but what if I am right and this is some significant mathematics, how do you explain such behavior?
I'm puzzled by the behavior, so I'm looking for input on why people would behave this way.
I DO have other mathematical research, which is quite solid and have faced lies about it, but in "pure math" areas where I could not get anywhere past such behavior. Here with the factoring problem, of course, that behavior is not as powerful, but I'm curious about why ANY person would behave in this way.
Any clues?
The problem I have is this is just one of my major mathematical results.
If it IS a solution to the factoring problem and I just create a factoring algorithm and implement it, proving that beyond a doubt in a rapid period of time, then mathematicians who by now should know about the theory, would, of course, jump up and down proclaiming the greatness of the solution!
That makes it easy for them.
But now there's just the beautiful mathematics—pure and simple.
Anyone with a modicum of knowledge about algebra and factoring knows that it's new, but they can look around and see the mathematical world doing nothing, while a few posters poke fun at the idea.
However, it is a contradiction for brilliant and beautiful minds to do nothing when faced with a simple factoring solution with very clear mathematics and theory, so those who are doing nothing—waiting to see what happens—are not such minds.
So the time lag is the proof I need to keep mathematicians from coming up later and just claiming they didn't have a chance, while I'm sure plenty of them will claim to not know about it, and probably most of them don't, but even that is a dramatic demonstration of the failures of the society.
I have been posting on sci.crypt, sci.math, alt.math, alt.math.undergrad, and alt.math.recreational and if there is NO ONE on any of these groups who picks up on a dramatic theory with such implications, then isn't that a proper indictment of mathematical society?
Just to be sure, I'll probably email it to some major mathematicians as well, if that becomes necessary and the time lag continues.
The proof here is that mathematical proof isn't what matters to these people—they're looking for social reaction.
They are political animals in a social situation, not true mathematicians, and not "beautiful minds".
