I think you're making a stronger statement than the article - it's certainly possible for there to be an infinitely many pairs of primes less than 70e6 apart, without there being another prime within 70e6 either side of a given prime number
- d0mine 13y agoIt is especially obvious given that the goal is to lower the boundary from 70e6 to 3. There are i such that |prime[i] - prime[i+1]| >= 3 but it doesn't prevent the possibility that there are infinite number of pairs such that |p - q| < 3 where p, q are primes.
