ARE THERE INFINITELY MANY WHAT

math was a goddamn mistake id like to sit down and have a serious talk with every mathematician ever they knew perfectly well the nature of their crimes

[picture at the top of post is a bullet point with “Are there infinitely many sexy primes?”
beneath the first sentence is the screencap of a wikipedia page:
Sexy Prime
In mathematics, sexy primes are prime numbers that differ from each other by six. For example, the numbers 5 and 11 are both sexy primes, because they differ by 6. If p + 2 or p + 4 (where p is the lower prime) is also prime, then the sexy prime is part of a prime triplet.
The term “sexy prime” stems from the Latin word for six: sex.

I feel deeply cheated that in 6 entire seasons, this never once came up on Numb3rs.
