Okay, this result is bogus. But what about the so-called "structural geometry" at the first link ?

If you look at the other proofs listed on that site, they are all couched in the language of arithmetic. They talk about taking a list of distinct primes (or a list of numbers that represent distinct primes), performing arithmetic operations on them, and producing a number that represents a new prime.   The topological proof is, unsurprisingly, couched in the language of topology, so, while it's actually saying pretty much the same thing as the other proofs - that no finite set of primes can cover the integers with their multiples - there will always be some numbers that aren't divisible by any of the primes in the set, it's saying it in an unusual way.     Also, it's a non-constructive existence proof - it doesn't tell you anything about how to find these non-multiples, just that they must exist - the other proofs all tell you where to look for your new prime.
