The article title seems a little too far-fetched but apparently there seems to be an interesting link between the Riemann-Zeta function (therefor prime distribution) and the energy levels in black hole singularities.

Yep, the title looks fake but the content looks legit.

Unlinkbaitified title: "Gaussian prime numbers are useful for some calculation near black holes"
