Let's do something productive on /sci/. With our combined knowledge and intelligence, we should be able to do anything. Let's solve the Twin Prime Conjecture.

Assume there exists a natural number N, such that, if x > N, and x is prime, then x + 2 is not prime. Can we prove such an N exists or prove a contradiction caused by it?

Old Euclid drew a circle
On a sand-beach long ago.
He bounded and enclosed it
With angles thus and so.
His set of solemn greybeards
Nodded and argued much
Of arc and of circumference,
Diameter and such.
A silent child stood by them
From morning until noon
Because they drew such charming
Round pictures of the moon.

yeah, because 10 people with phds, 500 unemployed graduates, 1000 pretentious undergraduate know it alls and 10000 high school fucktards can solve a problem that the most seasoned mathematicians tackle.

sure, 13+2=15 (nonprime) and so N could equal 14, or am I missing the point?

How about we build a nuclear space cannon? I know some libyans who have plutonium(they're legit honest!).

I think it would be cool if /sci/ did something amazing. Why shoot it down? If you want to talk about boobs go on /b/

so can N be any number below x? so basicly all we have to do is find a prime number that after you add two you won't get another prime? or am i being trolled?

You have totally misinterpreted the statement. N is fixed.

>> No.2339325

>>2339309
ahh so any number that could be x would have to have it so that if you add two to it it wouldn't be a prime? shouldn't be too hard, as i understand primes become rarer the higher up you go
