This was done as part of an event by Matt Parker (‪@standupmaths‬ ) "An Evening of Unnecessary Detail". Many thanks to Tim Blais (‪@acapellascience‬) for joining, and for the Bell House in Brooklyn for housing the event.

Before I ever saw him, I imagined him to look kinda like Withers, so this makes so much sense :)

@KrelianLoke Ай бұрын

For a long time, he never showed his face on his 3B1B channel, I thought he was not likely good-looking since he was so intelligent and articulate, turned out he is good-looking. Now I just discovered he is musically talented too. All good genes.

Lyrics: Ain't no twin prime solution It ain't known how they behave Do the twin primes go on and on? It's been open so damn long No-one knows quite what to say When are primes just two away? Well firstly are primes ever done? Euclid said there's just no way Multiply them and add one Every factor of that sum Is a prime not in the array So they never end, well, okay But when are primes just two away? Is there some algorithm? To sift the primes some simple way? I know the first one, that's the two To find the rest, here's what you do Reduce the naturals modulo two (Oh I get it! ...No, I, I, I don't get it, actually. Can you spell it out?) It goes one oh, one oh, one oh, one oh, one oh, one oh, one oh... (Tim! Tim!) (What?) (There IS more to the algorithm.) (Ah, that- that makes sense, actually. Um - please continue.) You knock off the zeros, reduce 'em mod three, like One oh, two one, oh two, one oh, two one, oh two, one oh... (Oh, okay! I get it.) Knock off the zeros, reduce 'em mod five, like One oh, two one, three two, four three, oh four, one oh, two one, three two, four three, oh four... Knock off the zeros, reduce 'em mod seven, like Hey, that's a neat little thing you've shown But what of twin primes on and on? As the new primes do go on (That prime theorem) The gaps between them grow this way (Something about Riemann) For a big prime, call it p The gap that follows tends to be On the mean, the logarithm base e But will they stop coming just two away? No-one knows quite what to say (Well okay.) Yet I get crank proofs every day (Dear sir! I have proven the twin primes conjecture!) They always start the same damn way (I study an elegant proof of prime generation!) To count the twin primes all you do Is list the numbers all the way through Reducing all of them modulo two (It's so simple!) It goes one oh, one oh, one oh, one oh... (Huge red flag if you're starting this way!) Knock off the zeros, reduce 'em mod three, like One oh, two one, oh two, one oh, two one, oh two... (All you're doing is applying a sieve...) (Search term you're looking for is "parity problem".) Knock off the zeros, reduce 'em mod five, like- Hey, you want to leave that proof alone There ain't no chance that's how it's shown When you start so trivially (One oh, one oh, one oh...) Like with the sieve of Eratosthenes (One oh, two one, oh two...) Chances are high you went wrong (I am the greatest math wizard alive) It's been open so damn long (Now take out the zeros, reduce 'em mod five) Someone else would've found such a way (Now one oh, two one, three two, four three, oh four...) You want a proof twin primes go on You want to be the next Yitang Zhang Maybe read what researchers say When the primes are just two away When are primes just two away? When are primes just two away?

@rtg_onefourtwoeightfiveseven Ай бұрын

Notes: -Some of the later 'one oh, two one, ...' don't follow the proper pattern. I assume this was unintentional; the above transcription has (what I believe is) the actual pattern. -I can't figure out what Grant says at 3:35. -4:21 sounds a lot more like "You want a proof twin primes are one" to my ears, but I don't think that makes sense so I'll assume they sang 'go on'.

Hi Grant! Thank you for putting our balloons up on stage. The one seen in the background of this video was supposed to be a brown cube. There were three other balloon shapes, all blue tetrahedrons. It was a blast sneaking the balloon pump into the venue and building these shapes before the show.

@JohnDlugosz Ай бұрын

I saw it and knew it was a cube! I assumed it was from a previous act.

@scottychen2397 Ай бұрын

There’s no proof in their lyrics. Although this is an excellent practice of a researcher, I agree. I think theyre taking inspiration from a blues motive - it seems distinctly that its not a ‘pop’ thing. And in this case, it can’t be equated with actual blues music.
