Awesome Prime Number Constant (Mills' Constant) - Numberphile
video description
His demonstration reminds me of a movie scene from Blues Brothers when they are in a country bar trying to play the blues. They needed a caged screen because the cowboys threw beer mugs at musicians they didn't like.

circular expression! that number is not really helping. the constant itself is defined by the same fact, that primes have to be found in the first place to get it accuracy higher. meaningless formula. I can write my own constant, that will contain every single prime found so far in it's digits and than write you a magical formula that will extract single primes from that magical constant each time! it's more like a database for primes we already know, nothing usefull.

Thank you for this very much for this video. The video shows that pi is approximately 22 / 7. This value is approximately 3. 14. Using the properties of this value we can compute prime numbers in sequence, which is based on the existing computing capability. The formula was an algorithm, that was developed by a well known mathematician. Using his formula and the method that I discovered, I can compute prime numbers in sequence using 22 / 7.

Is this nummer Just adjusted
Are Therme multiple options.
If you go bigger you nee 10 digits more for one n more and propably multiple options.
Or is the nummer more then a generated one.
But propably IT fits the way you cant take different follow ups without failing to reach a prime
I habe to Look how fast the Nummer growth and how man prime are possible for next digits But many

So you can just make an itrational consant, which is defined by some sum including primes, so you still need primes to even compute it to a decent number of digits and then you just make a formula, which these primes just digs out by some reverse cycle and you're done, you have a formula for primes. Then just tell everyone, that the ancient gods are giving you its digits when you pray at night.

What i learned from this video:
1) that number is awesome
2) as n gets bigger, not only do the resulting values of theta-(3-n) get bigger but they also get closer and closer to the integer that is a prime. Eg: He had to round 2. 22 down to 2 at the beginning, therefore subtracting 0. 22 but with 1361, it was 1361. 000 something.
3) Riemann's hypothesis is probably true

This number doesn't make sense to me, you can totally do this in reverse, because you say there's not enough decimal places, if the number generated is not a prime you can most likely adjust the digits until you get a prime, and the change most likely also won't affect previous numbers because the power is so high

Reading the closed captions: -Riemann's hypothesis is a very important hypothesis in mathematics that hasn't been proven yet, that is related to crimes and how they are distributed. -
Wow, the Riemann hypothesis really does appear in all sorts of apparently unrelated phenomena, doesn't it?

buuut.
1) How was Mills' constant derived in the first place?
2) What's the use if you can only derive spaced-out prime numbers, and not all prime numbers inbetween?
3) Can you raise the constant to a non - 3-n power and still derive a prime?
