For those who thing this sort of thing is impossible,

"Swedish mathematician Lennart Carleson won the 6 million kroner (US$925,000, €750,000) Abel Prize on Thursday for proving a 19th century theorem on harmonic analyses."

Look forward to seeing you all in 2046 for the 'we've-solved-Riemann-at-last-party!' as I intend on calling it.

Looks like someone's got a *bit* closer to proving it...

Since our recent clues from MC mention that nobody on Earth has proved the Riemann hypothesis, I've decided to see if our new found alien friends living in Perplex City have proved it - of course, it wouldn't be called the "Riemann" hypothesis over there, unless by some very weird case of parallel evolution there was a mathematician there call Riemann who came up with an identical hypothesis (!) But even so, he may have been called Colin Riemann...

Anyway, I sent this email to Professor Kiteway to see if he can help us:

Well im not so sure about 1 and 2 being of any use. But 3... omg thats the solution question for sure.

I mean seriously ... Why the heck ARE they SO cute?

What i really want to know though is. If a crocodile eats a kitten, does it become cute by absorption. And would this cause a paradox in reality that would cause the universe to implode?

Now thats the real question here.

Hmm this seems recent and very important. Quantum Physics AND Number theory.

So in that light maybe we should dig up some more on this "the moments of the Riemann zeta function." thing.

Id like to find an explanation about why the order is 1, 2, 42. And what that means exactly.

Its funny that 42 is such an important number. 420 is the california code for possession of Marijuana, 4/20 is Hitlers birthday, 42 is also the meaning of life, and apparantly the third "Moment" in the Zeta Function.

This paper is interesting:

And again another good but long and cluttered paper:

I was browsing this file: http://primes.utm.edu/lists/small/1000.txt

And i noticed a pattern that no one has mentioned. Its very odd no one has said this.

Check out the Twin Primes, Seperate them from the list. then look at their twin base. Each base is divisible by 6. (with the exception of 3(4)5) but again because this is before 6 in the set, it makes sense. 2x2 (+-)1

5(6)7 11(12)13 17(18)19 29(30)31 41(42)43
59(60)61 71(72)73 101(102)103 107(108)109
137(138)139 149(150)151 2111(2112)2113 5849(5850)5851

... This seems like it means every prime has pieces of primes before it as part of its calculation. 6 twins are 2x3 (+-)1, 12 twins are 2x2x3 (+-)1
18.. 2x3x3 (+-)1 ...2x3x5 (+-)1 ...2x3x7 (+-)1, we are logically adding primes each time. its like octet or binary system. only our base is ... the prime set. Using prime numbers to determine other prime numbers.

So most of the prime numbers we find should be able to be used to determine the next set of prime numbers. Somehow. Perhaps we could use a huge prime twin set, break it down to its prime parts and add the next prime into the calculation to determine the next prime.

Does this seem flawed?

Another interesting fact about Prime twins. ... they have one of 3 forms.

xxx1, xxx3 - xxx7, xxx9 - and xxx9 , xxx1

for instance, 29, 31 - 599, 601 - 1949 , 1951 BASE - 0
and 11, 13 - 821 , 823 - 1871 , 1873 BASE - 2
and 17, 19 - 827, 829 - 1487, 1489 BASE - 8

And thats it. There are no other bases, as far as i can tell.

It cant be 4 because that would leave half on xxx5 which is divisible by 5.
Same can be said of 6. half lands on 5. same issue as above.

but this makes some sense. All primes end with 1, 3, 7 or 9.

...
ill aplolgize for not sticking this all in one post, ive been mulling ideas over in my head at work. When i notice something im posting it. Sorry bout the multi posting.

Yet another reason for using your account is the ability to edit posts, preventing the above from happening.

Dear Oliver,

Care to lecture me more?

Do you ever post something that isnt an
attack on somones methods or decisions?

Im aware of editing posts Oliver. ... Ill still do it this way until
I trust the people i post with. Too many folks on these boards i
dont trust. Not enough pure helpers, and friendlies. Too many
people who just find problems with every other post.

For what it's worth, Oliver isn't the only person who thinks that guest posting is a royal pain in the backside. Six, almost consecutive, posts on one topic? That's just extracting the urine. For goodness sakes, get over yourself, get an account. If you're desperately afraid of someone saying something terrible to you in a PM, then my suggestion is....don't....click...on...your...inbox. I think that most people here, if they have something to say, generally say it to your "face". Who knows, you might even find that people here don't actually torture small puppies for fun.

Yeesh.

Do we have any conversation about Reimann? ... somone post something about primes. or some forumlas, lets talk math...

please.
