I feel so stupid. I can't even parse the very first formula. What does the existential quantifier do inside a summation?
How did you come across such a gem?
How much of this paper actually makes sense to you? I understand nothing except that a contradiction to a well established proof in 2 pages is probably incorrect. Maybe that's the point...

It is a rare talent of mine.
It looks as if this author made the mistake of confusing the set of real numbers with the set of real numbers which have either a finite or a repeating decimal expansion.
It's great how he uses \sum instead of \Sigma. . .
But wait, it's written with TeX. How can it possibly be wrong?!

Harriet: that is a common feature of Cantor Crankery posted at Mark CC's blog.
The fact that the author did not seem to cite any of his listed references in the text is a particularly nice touch.
By the way, better be careful, the guy could be dangerous. He claims to have painted a fake Picasso over a real Picasso (http://www.jmarkinman.com/?p=151).
