The famous "nontrivial zeros" are a set of complex numbers that produce zero when given to Riemann's zeta function. This set of numbers influences the distribution of the prime numbers. The nontrivial zeros therefore lie at the very heart of mathematics, since every integer greater than 1 is a unique product of primes. Riemann's hypothesis is that the real part of each nontrivial zero is a half. The author, Anthony Lander, is a paediatric surgeon and not a mathematician. However, Anthony has had a longstanding interest in symmetry and symmetry breaking in biological systems. He came across Riemann's hypothesis in 2012 and believes that a symmetry evident in Euler's zeta underlies the truth of Riemann's hypothesis and why the zeros repel.
