Hasn't that been proven false?

And when it says for big oh of Sqrt[x]Ln[x], what constant are we meant to chuck out the front for the R.H. to be true? Because we can chuck out 10<sup>10<sup>10<sup>10<sup>10<sup>10</sup></sup></sup></sup></sup> and that might be true ...

Most mathematicians believe the RH to be true. One (amongst only a few) who did not believe it was Atle Selberg. It saddens me to have to report here that he died a couple of days ago. He won the 1950 Fields Medal for his proof of the Prime Number Theorem - a more elementary one than ones previously available.
