twin prime conjuncture

Description

this would seem to be my "upload my assignments!" night.

for our color and design class we had to go up to a random stranger and ask them about a dream they've had, then illustrate that dream from three different angles.
of course, none of us went up to a random stranger (except for Joel, who asked a Tibetan monk) and wound up mixing and matching the dreams of eachother with dreams we've had ourselves.
in keeping with the spirit of my classmates, i talked to my friend Simone who had a dream in which she proved the Twin Prime Conjuncture. if you actually know what that is, you're one of the smartest people i know. if not, here's a simplified explanation, because i still dont' wholly understand it myself:
there's a theory that relates to the sequencing of prime numbers. k+2, in that k is a prime number, will result in a sequence of pairs that line up sequentially in a sequence of prime numbers. (at least... i think...). the Twin Prime Conjuncture states that this sequence will go on forever, but the proof for it is long and complicated and no one's ever been able to prove it.
But Simone had a dream that she did it.

gratned, i dont' know from math, so i just made up a bunch of numbers, used some of the equations she'd mentioned in explaining it to me and then slapped a symbol for infinity on there and filled in the blanks with floating prime numbers. i'm sure i took some liberties with the visuals, but i think this looks neat.

hey i had a class on number theory once.... talked about twin primes and things like that... it sure is an interesting thing !
sometimes maths can be 'elegant'
