My guess is that the only limit on the number of primes is if you
can place a limit upon infinity.
Primes might get really scarce way out there in the extreme but they
will still exist. It's like an inverse relationship, no matter how
close you get to zero you still are not at zero.
( I guess you can take the calculas short cut, It's so close to zero
that it might has well be zero, therefore it is zero. Wow a finite
number of primes)
Maybe infinity can have a limit. We'll tie it to whether the
universe is infinite. Right now we don't know so assumption is that
it is infinite untill proven otherwise. The only reason I'm tying it
to this is that if we everprove that the universe expands and
contracts, big bang theory stuff, then there is only a finite amount
of time that this will all matter.
