I vaguely remember reading about a way of writing down prime numbers that ended up in a pattern that could be translated into some kind of image. Math is awesome.
Considering a large portion of cryptography is based around large prime numbers being incredibly hard to find, I find it hard to believe anybody has found a significant pattern in them. That’s kind of the whole point.
Can you link to what you’re talking about?
Unfortunately I cannot find this article about patterns in prime numbers. I remember it was pretty technical but apart from the general idea I'm not able to provide anymore details.
Thanks for looking
