Creeping Up on Riemann
Mathematicians move a step closer to unraveling the mystery of prime numbers
Prime numbers are maddeningly capricious. They clump together like buddies on some regions of the number line, but in other areas, nary a prime can be found. So number theorists can't even roughly predict where the next prime will occur. The distribution of primes is the great motivating question of number theory.
