If true, this is going to be huge in the math world

What raises my eyebrows though is that the proof https://drive.google.com/file/d/17NBICP6OcUSucrXKNWvzLmrQpfUrEKuY/view appears to be too simplistic, even invoking Deux Ex Machina
The Riemann hypothesis is one of seven unsolved "Millennium Prizes" from CMI, each worth US$1 million to the person who solves it.
What is the Riemann hypothesis, and how did Atiyah solve it?
The Riemann hypothesis was first posited by Bernhard Riemann in 1859. It attempts to answer an old question about prime numbers (numbers that divide only by themselves and 1.) The hypothesis states that the distribution of primes is not random, but might follow a pattern described by an equation called the Riemann zeta function.
10,000,000,000,000 prime numbers have been checked and are consistent with the equation, but there is no proof that all primes follow the pattern.
So, the US$1 million prize goes to someone who can prove that the equation applies to all prime numbers. And Atiyah, using a "radically new approach" to the hypothesis, according to his explanation of his solution, thinks he has done it.

4. Deux ex machina
The proof of RH in section 3 looks deceptively easy, even magical, so in this section I will
look behind the scenes and explain the magic. Clearly the function T is the secret key that
unlocks the doors, so I must explain its secret.
