Prime number distribution, another attempt.
So I make a polygon with the radius 1 to the middle of a side, the radius s to a corner and the outer side T. if infinity is a prime number, then naturally p*T --> 2pi
Can one derive all primes p from this, plainly?

I see clearly now, the universe have the black dots, Thus I am on my way of inventing this remedy...

What is p? What does it mean for infinity to be a prime number?
"In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..."

Re: Prime number distribution, another attempt.
Hi LQ;
Ricky is right. Infinity is not a number.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.
