When I was sophomore, I studied the property of prime numbers. There's something interesting just as the prime spiral.
The prime numbers list is 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23...,a infinite list.
First I produce a list of the difference of the adjacent two primes:
1, 2, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4..., this is quite random...mm
Then I remove the first number 1 and have a new list, let me call it array a[ i]. Now Just plot x=a[ i], y=a[i+1] on a white canvas. The result is that there is definitely some nonrandom patterns.
The pictures which are ploted using random number array generated by computer haven't such nice properties.
I cann't explain why there is such a regular pattern. Is it because my method of plotting or it's really the property of primes number list?
Thanks for your attention. I hope you can solve my problem.
Anyone who is interested in this question, welcome to ask for the pictures.
It's just my lifelong puzzle!
