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.

Things I will forever hate:

Season finale cliffhanger…and than the show being canceled.

The charged particles of the solar wind require heat and combustion to escape the gravitational pull of the sun. From tumult comes freedom

“if we use numbers to choose who among us gets opportunity then, by definition, those we haven’t chosen, don’t. and that’s not science. well it’s not good science.”

Charlie, Amita, I love you guys, but taking a recovered gambling addict to a casino, especially when he really didn’t need to be there for your research, is a special level of uncool, as was brushing off his concerns when he said he felt uncomfortable.

That’s like dragging an alcoholic to a beer bust and being like “lol you’ll be fine.”

Me too, buddy. Me too.

He does what to do what now?

…every once in awhile, I allow these outer wonders to kind of blind me to the inner miracles that are occuring, transpiring every day, all around us. I didn’t see any miracles today, Larry. No, no, no, but, you see, the tendrils that connect human beings– one to another, they’re just so…unlikely, so inherently, um, fragile. I–I think that it’s a miracle that they even exist at all.
