Prime numbers are like the atoms of numbers. They are indivisible and you can make all the other numbers from them. So, finding out more about primes translates into tighter constraints or proofs in many other (often not obviously related) theories. And, it's beautiful to think about. Maybe huge practical innovations might result, or maybe only the pleasure of understanding something deep about numbers in the short time we exist. |
