Why are mathematicians so scared to look at and validate his proof? I would love to see a good faith effort and have any mistakes found sooner rather than later. Does it have to be so personal? I don't consider myself a mathematician but I would love to understand how this works.

Btw typo: Extra I in skepticism. :) No big deal.
