primes as far as the eye can see, discrete continua

Saw in a recent _Science_ that Ben Green of Cambridge proved that for any N, there are an infinite number of evenly spaced progressions of primes that are N numbers long. He got a prize for that. Damn straight. Now back to the decline of the neo-roman empire...

Timing Paranoia

One of the tools currently being used in the cognitive sciences is the measurement of reaction time to stimulus. It turns out that the length of time it takes to given situations is a credible proxy for how difficult the discrimination is to make. Imagine a paranoia involving mysterious e-mail

What about where N=1? I don't understand. You can only have an infinite number (or number of progressions) where the number of numbers in a number is inifinite. -TD From: "Major Variola (ret)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: primes as far as the eye can se

Yes, this batch seems to sway in the collective wind. Which actually suprised me...despite the source of appointment of Suter, I remember reading at the time about his track record somewhere and was actually under the impression that he was a very 'conservative' interpreter of Constitutional law
