Mathematicians Solve 'Twin Prime Conjecture' — In an Alternate Universe

No they don't....

IN the latest update, scientists admit the bad news, Sawin said, is that because their trick relies heavily on geometry, it probably won't be possible to use it to prove the twin prime conjecture itself. The underlying mathematics is just too different.

“Finite fields”?

Is that like a horse pasture?

Nope. That’s filly fields.

Finite fields.

W.C. Fields nephew?

Nope. That’s Phineas Fields.

Odd child.

there are infinitely many prime pairs

All math is in an alternate universe full of infinities both large and small. There are no known infinities in our universe.

“Behave a lot like integers”

They get that from their parents.

Send em to military school.

That’ll straighten em out.

Those Drill Sergeants will knock that integer behavior right out of them.

>> there are infinitely many twin primes, and that you’ll keep encountering them no matter how far down the number line you go. It also states there are infinitely many twin primes, and that you’ll keep encountering them no matter how far down the number line you go. <<

Huh? Twin sentences?

An important discovery, but bad bad bad reporting. I heard of this through more mathematical channels.

Nothing in the math about "alternate universes".

Prime numbers are a social construct.

” The twin prime conjecture states that there are infinitely many twin primes, and that you’ll keep encountering them no matter how far down the number line you go. It also states that there are infinitely many twin primes, and that you’ll keep encountering them no matter how far down the number line you go.”

Now that is what I call a word prime. Do you know how many times I had to read that in order to convince myself that I was not seeing things?

Do they use these mind games to stay sharp or is there an application?
