- drchewbacca 7y agoI'm not sure, I'm not an expert, it says here the twin prime conjecture itself is still unproven. "On April 17, 2013, Yitang Zhang announced a proof that for some integer N that is less than 70 million, there are infinitely many pairs of primes that differ by N." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_prime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_prime
- homonculus1 7y agoIt bears notice that the Subway worker, Yitang Zhang, had a math PhD from Purdue.
