From: Archimedes Plutonium on 13 Jul 2010 02:16 Now here is a very nice place to talk about if mathematics had a precision definition of finite-number versus infinite-number as that of 10^500. And we should take a peek of the numbers above 10^500 and feel assured that Twin Primes, Quad Primes, N+6 primes are all to be found for numbers beyond 10^500 and thus proofs that Even N Primes are each infinite sets. Another nice benefit of 10^500 is that if one detests Indirect method, well, dispense with it entirely for every proof can be followed into 10^500 where mathematics domain lies and no further. In philosophy of old, they used to talk about "the present bald king of France." Sort of a joke you see, because France has no more kings, so the whole thing is a piece of fiction imagination. But it still conjures up a image in people's minds. Same thing is true if you say Primes are infinite where there is no 10^500 boundary. And so we have numbers such as "pi" without decimal points going like this 314159........ and if we turned it around like this ......951413, and we know pi is irrational, even transcendental, and would this number have those features ....951413 and would .....951411 be twin primes? Or Champernownes number of 123456789101112.... turned around as .....211101987654321 and would .....211101987654323 be twin primes? You see, when math does not well define what is infinite-number, it is no wonder that it gets into trouble with almost every conjecture that deals with infinity. If math defined infinite-number as 10^500, twin primes, quad primes, perfect numbers, Goldbach conjecture, FLT, Riemann Hypothesis would not be horrible unproven problems, for they would be understandably true since numbers beyond 10^500 confirms all those problems. Confirmation is not a proof, for we would actually have to go through every number from 0 to 10^500 to prove say FLT or RH or Goldbach, but confirmation is that if we see solutions for RH or Goldbach or FLT holding true at 10^600 then we would say "tentative proof" and that all proofs are Direct Method, construction. You see, when math has an Indirect proof method, means that math pits all the axioms and theorems against a supposition. Hardy in his book A Mathematician's Apology describes this gambit more poetically than I am describing it. There is a problem with Indirect, in that you cannot be sure that the axioms of math and consequent theorems are a consistent set, and another problem is that you cannot be sure that Mathematics is only linear logic, for it probably is duality logic like physics, and so, the Indirect Method is a very erroneous method to attain knowledge. Physics does not use Reductio Ad Absurdum to base physics knowledge upon. Physics rests solely on Experimental Knowledge, some Observational Knowledge, but nowhere in physics is there this reliance on a reductio ad absurdum for which mathematics rests much of math knowledge upon. So you see, if math defines infinite-number as 10^500 and beyond, all of a sudden, mathematics is all Direct Proof Method. All of a sudden we can determine if Twin Primes and Quad Primes are infinite just by looking to see if they continue beyond 10^500. We can confirm that FLT, Goldbach and RH are true by sneeking a peek beyond 10^500 if they hold. We would instantly know that the Poincare Conjecture is false and never was true, even though some recent blabbering and blubbering of alleged proof. PC is false because the world does not have absolute-continuity. Continuity breaks down at 10^-500 when 10^500 is infinity. In the microworld, there are holes between numbers. So the reason PC was never proven is because the fabric of space was never absolute- continuity. The betweeness axiom in Euclidean geometry is inconsistent with the parallel axiom of geometry. Now you can make a modified Poincare Conjecture and easily prove it, by saying that all closed loops can be shrunk to a point of 10^-500 or larger but not below that point. You see how much easier the world would be, would be for mathematics if they precision defined finite-number versus infinite-number. Overnight, mathematics would be a cleaned up house, rather than a house of grime and mess. No longer would there be a need for the Indirect Proof method. All proofs of mathematics would be Direct construction. If all even numbers from 0 to 10^500 obey Goldbach conjecture then it is proven true. Since our computers cannot do that, we can estimate or confirm that Goldbach holds true for numbers beyond 10^500 and is thus likely to be true. Now some may complain that 10^500 is a artificial boundary. But they do not know much of anything about the world. That number is so large that there is nothing in physics beyond it. That number covers all of physics, and since physics is above mathematics, then anything that mathematicians do that is beyond 10^500 is just purely their imagination run amok. When I did the AP-adics and was talking about numbers like these: 99999.....99999, and 99999.....999998, and 999999.....999997, and wondering if 9999.....99997 was the worlds largest prime number. And whether 99999....999991 with 99999....9999989 was the worlds largest twin primes. With these infinite integers we get a sense of a vast world that where all the definitions of math can be turned topsy turvy. One can create numbers that are neither composite nor prime. One can create an integer that is transcendental. Another that is neither rational nor irrational. All because infinite-number is not precisely defined. Ironic that in year 2010, the only human to voice a complaint that all the sciences from astronomy to physics, to chemistry to biology solved all their problems that were started in Ancient Greek times, except for one science -- mathematics. The science that is supposed to be the science of precision still has Perfect Numbers and Infinitude of 2N Primes unsolved. Reason for this is really quite simple. Math refuses to precision define finite-number versus infinite-number.
