Twin Prime Conjecture Proof - Medical Applications
underlying ALL scientific and technology breakthroughs is mathematics - some people may not think there is much "real" or to use today's overused word - pragmatic - benefit to proving the Twin Prime Conjecture - who cares about a stupid twin prime anyways you yourself might be wondering - however - the twin prime conjecture is basically a complex "problem" that has until now been unsolvable - why? - because either our contemporary mathematics simply does not know how to handle it - OR - we simply do not know how to use contemporary mathematics in a way that can solve it - the first requires "new mathematics" - the second requires new understanding of existing mathematics - my proof generates both avenues of knowledge - some of the mathematics utilised is "new" - some is ancient - some is migrated from other fields - combined I have created a proof that resolves a problem that many leading mathematicians in the past have described as "chaotic" - mathematicians tend to seek patterns and harmony in the world - when confronted with something that does not conform to our mathematics we are basically shocked - yes mathematicians do freak out over such things - when you think everything in the world can be described mathematically - to find some problem that fails to conform - you get nervous - by proving the conjecture I have created a system or model that untangles the "chaos" - but chaos exists in many fields - one that comes readily to mind is medical - the body is quite straight-forward but also immensely complex - immunology is the study of the immune system and how our bodies deal with pathogens - a virus or cancer for instance or an allergic reaction - we have acquired some knowledge to date but there is much more that remains problematic because we do not have the mathematical models to express what we observe in research - or - what we observe appears random - chaotic - no discernible patterns seem to exist - in short we have the case of a "biological" twin prime conjecture ! - based on my undergraduate studies in Physiology and Immunology I am convinced that mathematicians or at least their research work needs to be more readily accessed by medical researchers who are dealing with similar types of problems but in a biological context - it is quite likely my research will offer something to a medical researcher who is trying to express or understand a biological process that can only be described as chaotic - mathematics is a wonderful topic of immense epic struggle and elegant beauty - but it is not something that is only confined to intellectual adventurers - its applications are immense - OK - you might not get too thrilled about twin primes but a major breakthrough in cancer or other pathogen-bourne diseases should be something everyone can get excited about - that is one reason we study and research mathematics with such passion and fury !
