Extracts from Treshold Mathematics v4.01 (www.aetheraware.org):
What's missing that makes maths such a turn-off for so many
and fascinating for a few?
And what’s the deeper significance of Zero, One, Pi, the Golden Ratio, the Fibonacci series, the Primes, Negative and Imaginary numbers ... for a start?

Prologue
Professor Marcus du Sautoy, in his book The Music of the Primes, laid it all out with masterful clarity and flair - the big tease about the Primes, that is. All about to be revealed... but then... hold on. Not quite yet. Ever closer but never quite getting there. What in maths is called asymptotic: the line and the curve that are converging ever closer, yet never quite make contact. And that seems to symbolize the fascinating story of the primes, 'the most tantalising enigma', the biggest unresolved mystery in mathematics.
The essence of it has been the lack so far of (a) any meaningful explanation of the distribution of the prime numbers and (b) as an extension of this, any kind of proof or disproof of the now legendary Riemann Hypothesis.
Threshold Mathematics has looked at both in a radically different way and asked: Could these long running failures all along have been the inevitable consequence of asking the wrong questions, based on false assumptions, themselves passed on unquestioningly through generations? And since the desired solutions have not been found after extensive expert analysis of the numbers, would it be more fruitful to look at the bigger context? ...
Perhaps one of the reasons why fascination with the primes and Riemann enigmas has taken on such significance is because it turns out to be the key to some very profound questions - that is, questions of a kind we are discouraged from addressing or even contemplating in our divided materialistic/mystical cultures. There are many well documented quotations from mathematicians speculatively alluding to this profundity.
In the text that follows it’s proposed that Riemann’s Hypothesis can neither be proved nor disproved because of two key factors: first, a fundamental lack of understanding of what the prime numbers signify in the bigger cosmic context; and second, a discrepancy in the number system of the culture in which Riemann operated, and which still persists today, concerning the ‘real’ number line and zero, again in relation to the bigger context.
Du Sautoy has said that mathematics is essentially “ethereal” and that the primes are "timeless numbers that exist in some world independent of our physical reality." That would seem to be a promising starting place. Or is it still a no-go area, a taboo subject? ...
