Prev: method only works for Twin Primes?? and not for N+4 nor N+6 or beyond? #653 Correcting Math
Next: Alright, resolved, this method is only good for a Twin Prime proof #655 Correcting Math

I am still hopeful that another patch can wrangle out the pesky regular primes that look to interfer Archimedes Plutonium http://www.iw.net/~a_plutonium/ whole entire Universe is just one big atom where dots of the electron-dot-cloud are galaxies |
