there must be evil twin primes
The conjecture remains unproven and unrefuted, despite overwhelming empirical evidence and constants like those of Hardy-Littlewood that predict its density. Proofs announced in journals or preprints often contain errors and are retracted.
Only the lessons of Bitcoin. The finitude of all real measurable states caps the number of possible primes. Only when mathematics enters an ungrounded domain like the mind can infinity persist.
Seems like a waste of time to chase proofs around infinity when only things mathematically finite can be measurable by definition.
sorry, wait a minute, are you saying there are finitely many primes?
Yes/No. Any real, meaningful, and measurable system must be finitely bound, which means the set of twin primes available to any physically instantiated system is necessarily finite.
Mathematics extends toward infinity only in the mind because that branch of math is not grounded in any physical structure. Yet it derives all meaning from our finite experience of the world. That’s the paradox: infinity is thinkable, but never observable; definable, but never instantiated.
testing zaps for this note… your profile only specifies a nip05 nostr address, but not a lightning address, so we tried to zap your nip05 address.... we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at datanostrum@nostrplebs.com, over a period of about 1 hour. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
Been fighting with it for 20 years, but I am a cranky. Best I can say is that for any finite number of primes there are infinitely many twin primes. Which is of course dumb, but at least I know that in order for there to be a finite number of twins, they must be supremely unlucky after some point, which seems unlikely but not impossible.
