I low-key know if I put my mind to it I could find the laws behind the distribution of primes. Fr ngl I'm that intelligent

why were we supposed to even care about "prime numbers" anyway?
>>
>>84964755
So no one knows what the pattern for prime numbers are yet?
Seems like someone just made up what prime numbers are then if there is no pattern and just a characteristic of one.

i don't know shit about maths but i have a certified iq of 134. let me take you on a trip through my mind, so you can see how a "special human" would tackle a problem like this.

"hmm, so the red dots represent prime numbers. that makes sense. let's look at the picture first. what comes to mind immediately. ah, yes, there are a lot of red balls in the first two lines, and then they considerably decrease. this should lead us to the first law: there are more prime numbers when you start, but later their chance of occurring decreases. curious. there should be a mechanism behind it. i should be able to find it by calculating the speed at which the numbers decrease. maybe a graph. yes, that's it. if I draw a graph with the chance of a prime number occurring, I can just jump to any point on the graph in the future and see exactly where the next prime number is!"

and that's it. i might have made some grammar errors since english isn't my first language, but the "tenor" behind my thinking is clear. i have now tackled most of the problem you faced in less than a minute. and that my friend, is how an "advanced person" thinks ;)

edit: i can also do the 4chan captcha lightning fast. esp. the ones where you have to find the symbol that doesn't fit!

primes arent really a thing its an arbitrary property mathematicians made up to satisfy their own autism

Mathematicians want to keep pretending they have a real job.

>>84964755
You're hundreds of years late anon, the Prime number theorem was proven over 200 years ago and analytical number theory has also existed around that long.
If you're claiming you can find a function like P(n) where you can map the prime numbers and generate all the prime numbers, I'm pretty sure someone has proven that its impossible to find such a function.
