It would mean that the primes behave rather like the random molecules of gas in a room: Although you might not know quite where each molecule is, you can be sure that there won't be a vacuum at one corner and a concentration of molecules at the other.

The frequency with which some part of a room will suddenly exhibit a substantial vacuum is - disturbingly - real and calculable. I believe it is many times the age of the universe for most examples, but it is something crazy to consider no less.

That's why I don't want to live forever. Because if I did, one day I'd wake up embedded in the floor.

When I told Vicomte to forget 42, I wasn't talking about your post (which was a very good post, I thought). :-)

Sure - it happens whenever a Democrat enters the room...
