Why are mathematicians always obsessed with prime numbers?In picrel is a prime number I found on an old motorcycle.
>>16855831Because they're easy mode. Stuff modulo any number with three or more odd prime factors is mostly an unsolvable mess.
>>16855831Primes do not follow a discernible pattern themselves but underly patterns broken down to irreducible parts.Primes relate to randomness. Random noise relates to...Well password protection and....
because they forgot that math is supposed to be a useful tool and instead treat it like it's some kind of magical gateway to the meaning of the universe
prime numbers have main character syndrome
>>16855853Quantum "randomness" is actually just encryption. The primes follow a pattern. If you crack the pattern, you will escape the simulation.
>>16855853Only if you arbitrarily restrict the domain to the least interesting one.
>>16856142> Quantum "randomness" is actually just encryption.That is certainly an opinion. What do you mean by "encryption" in this case? That word means a lot of different things to different people.
>>16855831As a 100% sperg, the primes just "make sense". The way the multiplicative operatirs spins out primes and structure is wild. And the natural logarithm just happens to fall out too. Beautiful.Now physicists with their "gauges". That shit makes no sense to me. Gauge-this, gauge-that. It's like they just walk around with their clipboards checking the gauges all day. Gauge A: Checked: 241931. Where's the wonder in that?!?Wait, is that a prime?
>>16856229The Spin State of the Universe Measured at 10Hz is God's OTP.If we can read it, we can decode it.
>>16855831Not OP, but I did have breakfast so now I have a Chinese AI python script to OCR images found during a webcrawl for digits.Good Monday.Thanks, OP. You make good brain juice. Cool and smooth.
