Recently I saw a TV show on PBS about the "Twin Prime Conjecture" featuring both Tom Zhang and James Maynard, two very smart guys. :) On April 2013 professor Tom (Yitang) Zhang of the University of New Hampshire has submitted a paper to the Annals of Mathematics as proof that there are an infinite pairs of prime numbers that differ by 70 million or less. This spurred a lot of activity in the field, such as the Polymath8 project, which lowered the bound to k ≤ 246 and recently to k ≤ 6 (general Elliott-Halberstam conjecture). The human mind is truly amazing being able to tackle and solve such difficult problems.

Brady, well done! This is what I like so much about Brady's videos across all his channels: Unlike many interview-based videos, Brady so often gets his subject to tell a full story arc before getting to their own contributions. It takes careful reading and prompting to make this happen, and to look so effortless and flow so naturally. Best of all is Brady's infectious excitement: He wouldn't be doing this unless he was genuinely thrilled by it. He calls himself a videographer, but I think that's his secondary talent. You can't do great edits if the material isn't there in the first place. And then there are the times when his subject goes into awesome mode, and Brady knows to just step back, be a videographer, and let things go wherever. Talk about being in the moment. Thanks!

Congratulations on winning the Fields medal James. I admire these humans so much . I went to Oxford read Zoology from 1989 - 1992, I got an upper class second degree. Also got a boxing blue for boxing against Cambridge on March 12th 1992. I arrived at Oxford as a bright boy with serious memory capability and a thirst for competition in tests. I very quickly observed around me a level of student that I could only marvel at. A healthy reset of expectations. The very best of my peers were like James in the way that their ability was to them normality and like a frequency hum in their background. No frills; no interest in recognition. They were simply unbelievable in their fields.

Nice to see he is so humble. "Intuition" or the "inspiration", that "i am on the right track" even though you are not sure you will get to the proof, comes from the supersoul within (Sanskrit: paramātmā). We live in a virtual reality. The mind is the real cause of our suffering and happiness. Never think that "I am the doer," especially when you do not know who exactly "I am".

Prime numbers aside, it is refreshing to see you present your perspective on mathematical thinking. I am looking at how to inject this aspect into the high school arena since it is virtually uncatered for (at least in Australian schools). Schools are results driven and are more or less merely a set curriculum production line. My argument is that there is more - it is what YOU do and there is a way to cater for it at high school level with students of the right mindset. You have clearly expressed the "genius factor" that is lacking and not really understood in our education system. The thing is, how do we turn what you do into a television series to show how some mathematical ideas can be explored with predominately high school mathematics? Well done, so far!

I would like to suggest, without evidence, something even more specific. That there are an infinite number of pairs of primes separated by 2, where the prime factors of the inbetween number are consecutive primes. For example, 29 and 31 and primes, and the factors of 30 are the consecutive primes 2, 3 and 5.
@Tiqerboy 7 жыл бұрын
The next number is 2x3x5x7 = 210. 209 isn't prime, 211 is. then 210x11 = 2310. 2309 & 2311. Both of these are primes. 2nd example. Then 2310x13 = 30030. 30031 isn't prime, 30029 is Then 30030x17 = 510510. Neither 510509 and 510511 are prime Then 510510x19 = 9699690. Doesn't work. Then 9699690x23 = 223092870. Doesn't work. Then 6469693230. Doesn't work. Need a computer to take it much further. The way it looks, I don't see a third example coming, and you think there are infinite number of these? If you can prove that, then you've proven the twin prime conjecture and then some. But I think a proof would be very hard to come by, for this simple reason: eventually you're going to end up with numbers on either side that are so large, you won't be able to factor them, or even test they are prime with the computer technology we have, so you'll in effect get 'stuck'. Notice you have to start at 2, because if I took a sequence like 5x7x11 I end up with an odd number and those on either side will be even and obviously not prime.
@OriginalPiMan 7 жыл бұрын
I'm aware how rare they would likely be if I'm right, and I'm aware it would certainly be more difficult to prove than the twin prime conjecture. But if you compare it to Mersenne primes, we only know 49 of those, going up to 274,207,281 − 1 but we know those are infinite in number. And I didn't merely notice that you have to start it 2; it is by design. My original thought was on multiplying all primes up to an arbitrary value, but I realised I could phrase it more clearly by saying consecutive primes and leaving the start implicit.
@Tiqerboy 7 жыл бұрын
If you know of a proof that there are inifinite primes of the form 2^n - 1, I'd like to see it. Again, by computation theory as we know it, you eventually end up with a number so huge you can't factor it, rendering you stuck. But if there's a proof that gets around this, excellent, I'd like to see it.

The way I understand the approximation is to do with the conjecture itself. While the endpoint is an approximate, the maths under the hood is rigorous. The conjecture is the gap of 2 always occurs, and there are infinite primes. So it being an approximate doesn't hurt. It may estimate and miss a few twin primes, but the conjecture is they always occur and don't disappear. If you have an infinite numberline to use, an approximate can still answer that question.

Grzegorz Cichosz Well I know a mathemathician who worked in a engineering company. But now he is a teacher, he says he prefers being with people rather than being all day in front of a computer.

Plenty of mathematicians take time out of their academic careers to work for technology firms (or do so alongside their career if they can balance it). Some others work for government bodies on cryptography based problems

Grzegorz Cichosz I don't know if you are aware, but there is a lot of math involved in engineering Also pretty much every field of hard science

There also seem to be lots of prime quads, consisting of sets of values 30k + 11, 30k + 13, 30k + 17, and 30k + 19. The gaps are, as is to be expected, larger than the gaps between prime pairs, but the JavaScript that I am currently running to find them has reached 170 million and is still finding them.

the sieve method for identifying prime numbers was first proposed by the ancient Greek Philosopher/Mathematician and inventor of the Scientific method, Eratosthenes in about 190 BC
