Oh yeah well if you're some sort of numbers guy, answer me this: I think you're name is super cool, and makes me wonder, is there a largest prime you can make listing digits of pi starting from the beginning. There's gotta be infinite right?
Well, three is prime and pi starts with a three, therefore, even if there's larger primes, there is one which is the largest. QED.
Unless there isn't one that's the largest because there are infinite primes.
You started at zero and went to infinity. If you start at infinity and go to zero then the first prime you got is the largest. QED.
I can no longer tell if these are bits. 🫠
(Yes, this is a bit. 💜)
(Thank you for the kindness of clarity ❤️ I may now be at peace.)
That's what she said...
Pi is suspected to be a normal number (though this has not been proven). If it is normal, it's likely that integers comprised of the first N digits of pi will be just as likely to be prime as comparable large integers. I suspect but cannot prove that there are infinitely many prime numbers whose digits are the first N digits of pi (with or without the leading 3).
