Are primes THE red pill of our Universe, /sci/?

>> No.8399515

Apparently the universe prefers integers, so the primes obviously are fundamental in the physical sense.

>> No.8399540

>>8399511
To put it bluntly, if integers (and thereby primes) weren't important in the physical universe, you wouldn't be able to count the number of fingers you have

>> No.8399552

Primes aren't that important physically.

>> No.8400291

irreducible polynomials over the reals are more redpill than the shitty integral primes

>> No.8400330

I've been studying hypergraphs lately and primes are starting to become extremely important for certain translations from 2-unifrom to k-uniform hypergraphs.

>> No.8401500

>>8399515
>>8399540
The rest of the integers are composite of the primes, while the primes themselves aren't.

Whatever the basic building block of the universe is, it's definitely conceptual entity. Ironic since how we all see and define things as physical material.

Why?
