Closing the Gap on Twin Primes Euclid proved that the set of primes is infinite in size more than 2000 years ago, but no one has yet proved whether there is an infinite number of twin primes, or pairs of primes that have a difference of two. There's now hope that that matter will finally be resolved. |
