Then I rofled. Yeah, I did the same thing. But at least he didn't fall into the trap and claim that there IS a prime gap equation already, unlike two very obsessive posters who seem to now be replying to each other a lot. One wonders where they go from here. After all, how little math must one know to not realize that a prime gap equation necessarily does things like proves or disproves the Twin Primes Conjecture? You almost would have to not know any math at all. James Harris |
