You're just jealous of me defining mathematical proof. Go to Google (has to be Google) and search on: define mathematical proof If I could get a definition read around the world defining mathematical proof, then I think I can manage axioms. Besides, arguing on this issue is just lighthearted fun. The prime residue axiom leads to predictions. In science that's what it's all about, the predictions. Theory is only useful in that it leads to useful predictions. Science is the art of prediction. (Hey, who said that originally? I just did a quick search and didn't get the originator.) James Harris

With the simplest probability calculation they tend to be 1.12 times the actual count over time based on what others have posted. I noted that was because of blocked states with higher residues with the larger primes in the interval. To quantum mechanics people that's not a complicated thought to ponder. > you know why they are wrong, the important point > is that they are wrong.). End of story. Actually, in physics getting that close isn't necessarily a terrible thing. And if that ratio holds being able to just divide by 1.12 means you can still predict even closer! Remember, prediction is what matters. If a theory provides useful predictions then it's a valuable theory. James Harris

JSH: Well if the predictions are wrong then JSH: there is no further argument. End of story. Are your predictions wrong? Please start your answer Yes or No. - William Hughes
