A Direct Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis - In Less Than 3 Minutes

In this short I summarize the proof used in our preprint paper, "A Direct Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis" in under three minutes. The concept is easy to explain, but the information discovered that gives way to the proof was fairly involved and the culmination of 17 years of research. Once it was discovered, I contacted mathematicians Greg D. Volk, Dennis P. Allen and Jonathan Sondow to team up on the presentation of the proof. Jonathon passed away a couple months later and therefore for the next year or so Greg, Dennis and I got to work. In 2016 we uploaded the first draft to Researchgate. Typos and some minor errors were found, but quickly fixed. A more important error was discussed online (the discussion is largely at Reddit) and a change was made in 2024 that eliminates any possibility of any hole in the logic. And the proof was greatly simplified. To date the paper has received over 16k reads at ResearchGate and no errors have been found in its current draft. This video is a demonstration of how quickly and completely the proof can be summarized in just a couple minutes. There is a known misspeak in the video...the text is correct, but the wording is wrong regarding the relationship between alpha and zeta...I read the relationship is between alpha and eta. Enjoy.
