From: Archimedes Plutonium on 13 Jul 2010 04:55 After some rumbling fits and starts, I am confident these are proofs of the Polignac Conjecture. Looking in Wikipedia this conjecture dates to the early 1800s in France and concerns the distribution of primes by a metric spacing of even numbers. So that Twin Primes are the N+2 primes and the Quad Primes are N+4 primes and the N+6 Primes have a metric separation of 6 units. Given the list of the first few primes: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, . . . The first Twin Primes is 3 and 5 The first Quad Primes is 3 and 7 The first N+6 Primes is 5 and 11 Polignac's Conjecture is that each of these sets of primes are infinite sets, such that N+2 is an infinite set and N+4 is an infinite set etc etc. Now the proof of Polignac follows from one format, the proof of the infinitude of Twin Primes. That proof is this: Infinitude of Twin Primes proof: (1) definition of prime (2) hypothetical assumption: suppose set of all primes is finite and 2,3,5, 7, 11, . ., p_n, p_n+2 is the complete list of all the primes with p_n and p_n+2 the last two primes and they are twin primes. (3) Form Euclid's numbers of W+1 = (2x3x5x 7x 11x . .x p_n x p_n+2) +1 and W -1 = (2x3x5x 7x 11x . .x p_n x p_n+2) -1 (4) Both W+1 and W -1 are necessarily prime because when divided by all the primes that exist into W+1 and W-1 they leave a remainder of 1, so they are necessarily prime from (1) and (2) (5) Contradiction to (2) that W+1 and W-1 are larger twin primes. (6) Twin Primes are an infinite set. Now I repeat the above with minor modifications for that of Quad Primes N+4 Infinitude of Quad Primes Proof: (1) definition of prime (2) hypothetical assumption: suppose set of all primes is finite and 2,3,5, 7, 11, . ., p_n, p_n+4 is the complete list of all the primes with p_n and p_n+4 the last two primes and they are quad primes. (3) Form Euclid's numbers of W+2 = (3x5x 7x 11x . .x p_n x p_n+2) +2 and W -2 = (3x5x 7x 11x . .x p_n x p_n+2) -2 with the proviso of deleting the 2 prime. (4) Both W+2 and W -2 are necessarily prime because when divided by all the primes that exist including 2 into W+2 and W-2 they leave a remainder, so they are necessarily prime from (1) and (2) (5) Contradiction to (2) that W+2 and W-2 are larger quad primes. (6) Quad Primes are an infinite set. The same format goes for N+6 primes with a deletion of the 3 prime So in turn all the primes of form N +2k are proven to be infinite sets by the Indirect Method. A few passing thoughts by the Author: Everyone in math knows that to understand these number theory conjectures is easily understandable to everyone, especially those not even in mathematics can digest the problem in a few minutes of time. So the wonder is why such easy problems yet never any proof. May I suggest the reason that easy problems of the Twin Prime conjecture and Polignac conjecture is that noone looked to see if there are flaws in the Symbolic Logic Structure when putting together Euclid's Infinitude of Primes Indirect Method. Not that these math problems were hard and difficult, to the contrary, they are simple and easy proofs. What made them unproveable is a lack of understanding that Euclid's Numbers are necessarily prime in the Indirect Method.
