Prime Numbers
This is just an interesting topic I've been thinking about recently.

Re: Prime Numbers
There is an infinite amount of numbers. So there might as well be an infinite amount of prime numbers.

That is the question. I'm pretty torn myself. I voted yes, but I can see why you might say no. Gah, brain is fried. 1 limit approaching both infinity and 0 at the same time! Paradox?

I think this is one of the most striking areas of math in terms of research. They refer to this as "twin primes." Currently they are not sure how many "twin primes" exist, as far as I know. |

Re: Prime Numbers
Prime numbers are sexy. I had no idea until algebra this year that prime numbers have so many sweet properties.
