For if you could, you would recognize that Twin Primes is instantly proveable. The Infinitude of Twin Primes was proven in year 1991, but human society will take alot longer to realize that Twin Primes was proven in 1991. And it is sad observation that we think everyone that is in science, has a "open mind and a rational mind". But the truth of the matter is that most people in science are narrow minded and full of bias. > > But the reason you were never able to do a Infinitude of Twin Primes > > proof, John Ramsden, is because you were never able to do a valid > > Infinitude of Regular Primes (Euclid style) Indirect Method.

I simply asked you to post your version of Euclid IP, indirect. I gave mine in shortform and you criticized the step that said W+1 is necessarily prime. Instead of carping, why not just post your version?

Thence I asked you to post your IP, indirect. You fail to do so. Why? Because you are incompetent and can only complain about mine. > > Cheers > > John Ramsden Poor poor showing John Ramsden, perhaps you should look into taking up a math journal editors post like that of Knight and Davis. Where you can carp about someone's proof but unable to do the proof yourself, comes naturally.
