					<description><![CDATA[According to Euclid there is an infinite series of prime numbers. His proof:

Suppose &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; is the largest prime number. Construct a new number &lt;i&gt;q=p!+1=1*2*3*4*...*p+1&lt;/i&gt;. This number is not dividable by any number 2,3,4,etc or p (we will always get a result of at least 1). So q is therefore either a prime number or has a prime factor larger than p&#039;s. (apologies if I wrote this up wrong, but you get the gist.)

Onto the infinity and loop thing, I see 1 and infinity as looping into each other while still satisfying the infinite abundance of possible primes:

1 is not a prime number because even though it is divisible by itself and by 1, it does not have two &lt;i&gt;different&lt;/i&gt; factors.

On the opposite end, I see infinity, though a concept, as a prime number since it is divisible by itsself and by 1, but it can never be divided by any other number since we can never know its value.

So I see 1 and infinity come together as the perfect opposites in my head, infinity folding over itsself back to 1.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hmmm. I haven&#039;t listened yet and find this topic incredibly interesting, however, if Prime Numbers don&#039;t consist of each and every single number, then they don&#039;t go on into infinity.

Based on the idea that time and space are like loops, in that they circle back on themselves, then the only thing seperating a fixed amount of time/space from stretching on into infinity is the gap left in the loop between the start and finish points of that period of time/space. So, once you have gaps in a number sequence, you lose infinity.

I&#039;m guessing that science hasn&#039;t established this yet, but they will or, and should have by now.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have discovered a truly remarkable proof which this margin is too small to contain....Sorry, could not help myself.

And now, for the readers of this blog, what is this obscure reference about?

Cheers,
