I have not gone through it in details myself, though, so will refrain from making any jugement save for stating that people who have spent more time on it seem to be unconvinced by the proof itself as well as the review process.  

I did go through the links you cite in detail so I can confidently say that the “proof” has been definitively debunked.  I can’t provide a succinct summary because reformatting it in plain text would require more effort than I’m willing to put into it, but reading through the second link to get to the substance of the matter took me less than five minutes.  If you don’t want to go through it all, just search for the word “nonsense” to cut to the chase.
