    I noticed people were complaining in comments to the original video that he suggested every gap was even when as stated here the gap between 2 and 3 is 1 which is odd. So this actually addresses that by admitting he omitted 2 from his scheme.

      Yes, annoyingly: removing this bit caused more of those complaints. But everyone knows 2 is a terrible prime. I’m surprised I let 3 stay.

      Can't be, because it actually is prime. Can't believe he didn't notice that. Oh wait, this is past Matt, he keeps missing obvious things.

      Ha, yes it is prime. I must admit Past Matt didn’t check (this is the sort of thing Future Matt would interrupt for). I was only focussed on it not being the millionth prime. Plus I didn’t put back on the +3.

  • @jonmobrien
    @jonmobrien Před 3 lety +1

    Definately the brief detour got bogged down in detailed maths that detracted from the excellent pattern of prime gaps video. However your also cut the explanation of ignoring the first prime gap between 0 and 3, and why in the main video the X axis says GAP/2. Two inconsistencies I noticed. Perhaps future Matt could have just mentioned those two things where you cut this deleted scene from

  • @dagordon1
    @dagordon1 Před 3 lety

    Instead of one regression, what about multiple regressions with R^2=1? The slopes would be the same, yet the intercepts would follow a bifurcation pattern, true? Matt hinted at it earlier with 6, 30, 210, etc.

      as Matt said in the original video, noone knows what happens when you find and plot more primes. Some of the results he mentions suggest that the line either bends weirdly or widens dramatically
