> If tomorrow someone discovered a closed-form equation for the nth prime, how would mathematics/the world change? Btw, that kind of exists. There's a formula that produces nothing but prime numbers. It basically encodes sieving, and it coincidentally uses every letter of the English alphabet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_for_primes#Formula_based_on_a_system_of_Diophantine_equations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_for_primes#Formula_bas...
