    You've been trolled: There's a nice comment (by clipsy) on an earlier submission [1]

    Absolute looney toons garbage. Check the list of previous publications and you'll find that in the past 3 months(!) the author claims to have broken RSA, disproved the existence of dark matter, and shown that irrational and complex numbers do not exist.

    Good of clipsy to do that research, as soon as I found that he calls himself "Ed Gerck, PhD, PhD" [2] I laughed and walked away.
