The Greeks and modern mathematicians both note that primes are irregularly spaced from each other............
oddly enough...................doing what i did.......my convoluted logic........a pattern emerges.........
take..............20 - 30..................b/c 1, 3, 7, 9 have a symmetry.................i don't know the math Reiman was applying.........but he found a pattern...........about a line..........
The ancient Greeks proved (ca 300 BC) that there were infinitely many primes and that they were irregularly spaced (there can be arbitrarily large gaps between successive primes). On the other hand, in the nineteenth century it was shown that the number of primes less than or equal to n approaches n/(log n) (as n gets very large); so a rough estimate for the nth prime is n log n (see the document "How many primes are there?")
