I know this is old, but holy shit. He was literally a 43 yo Subway sandwich artist, and now he is one of the world's most respected mathematicians. |

Examples of twin prime pairs include 5 and 7, 11 and 13, and 17 and 19, but no one could prove that these pairs continue to exist all the way up the number line. In fact, no one could prove that there is any bounded prime gap at all, that primes don’t just grow infinitely far apart."

Date: April 21st, 2015 6:10 PM Author: twinkling bull headed tanning salon trust fund what is unclear? no one could prove the following statement until him: There is a number K such that there are an infinite number of pairs of primes p_1 and p_2 such that p_2 = p_1 + K.
"Twin primes" are when K = 2. If I remember right, people have proved there is a K <= 246 for which that's true. |

Date: May 3rd, 2015 9:16 PM Author: ruddy godawful circlehead theater no. 1. it's very easy to prove that there are infinitely many prime numbers period. you learn how to prove it in any number theory class 2. what the nowag proved is that there are infinitely many pairs of prime numbers that are less than 70 million apart from each other. This is a significant result because when you think about it you might think that primes drift farther and farther apart from each other the farther out you go to infinity. The nowag proved this is wrong |

Date: May 3rd, 2015 9:31 PM Author: wonderful navy senate goal in life LJL. you're an autistic loser. the point is that the polisci shitheads on this website wouldn't find use for any prime number results at all, let alone such a significant. xoers aren't qualified to judge the future usefulness of his work.
also, you're a fucking tool for putting "theory of primes" in quotation marks like that. |

Date: May 3rd, 2015 9:37 PM Author: twinkling bull headed tanning salon trust fund XOers aren't qualified to judge but neither are you which is pretty obvious from your posts (JJC, I'm guessing?). It's funny that you think actually knowing what I'm talking about makes me an autistic loser

btw, you're not particularly qualified to judge it either, despite your wikipedia search abilities. |

That's also not exactly true. The density of primes goes to 0 (that is, count the number of primes less than N. that number will be about N/log(N)). He just proved that there is an exceptional set of pairs of primes whose difference is bounded uniformly by something big (but was later reduced to something like a few hundred) |
