What is a PRIME Number ?

A PRIME number is a number whose only positive divisors are one and
itself.

What is a MAGIC SQUARE?

A magic square is an arrangement of numbers in a square, such that the
numbers in all rows, all columns, and both diagonals sum to the same
number.
________________________________

MAGIC SQUARES & PRIME Numbers

The secret of PRIME Numbers are embedded within the puzzle known as
"MAGIC SQUARES".

PRIME Numbers and Magic Squares go hand in hand.

PRIME Numbers & The Number '1'

PRIME Numbers are the progress of TIME or The Number '1' in the
universe.

Another definition of "Science" is the comprehension of PRIME Numbers.

The Number '1' is like "a seed" and PRIME Numbers is the "tree" that
grows or progresses from that seed. The seed and the tree are one and
the same.

________________________________

The Comphrehension of the Number '1' IS the study of PRIME Numbers, for
the Number '1' is the only number in the universe that is truly
"indivisible".

Since PRIME Numbers take on the nature of the Number '1', and the
Number '1' is the seed of all PRIME Numbers, therefore the Number '1'
is PRIME Number.
________________________________

To "divide" a PRIME by "itself" OR by the Number '1', results in a
"canceling of itself out" OR the PRIME Number "dissolves into its
original state" of "NOTHING" OR .

EXAMPLES:

1 / 1 = PI

2 / 1 = PI

2 / 2 = PI

3 / 1 = PI

3 / 3 = PI

etc.

________________________________

PRIME Numbers & TIME

To count 'TIME' is to count the number of 'coincidences' OR same - time
- occurrences of The Number '1'.

"To count TIME" IS NOT EQUAL TO "measuring TIME" in "seconds",
"minutes", "hours", "days", etc.

To measure TIME in "seconds", "minutes", etc. is impossible.

THEREFORE

"To count TIME" IS to count in (the) PRIME Numbers:

1,2,3,5,7,11,13...

Yes, one is the loneliest number. Or is that the looniest number.

WRONG! Please learn to check your work before
cross posting it to the world and embarassing
yourself.

x/x = 1, where x 0.
PI = ~3.1415926...

Rember this one?


A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer are given an identical problem:
Prove that all odd numbers greater than 2 are prime numbers. They proceed:

Mathematician: 3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, 9 is not a prime -
counterexample - claim is false.

Physicist: 3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, 9 is an experimental
error, 11 is a prime, ...

Engineer: 3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, 9 is a prime, 11 is a
prime, ...

Unfortunately, I think the OP's mind is already wasted.

Quite right.

I would be happy, though, if instead the pattern on a ruler was
followed, so that we could say, freely, that 0 is composite and 1 is
prime.

And then for the various mathematical definitions, we simply use the
term "significant prime" for all prime numbers greater than 1.

Incidentally, in some mathematical work the fact that 2 is the only
even prime makes it special. Yet, that doesn't seem to make sense,
because 3 is the only prime number divisible by 3, 5 is the only prime
number divisible by 5, and so on.

I finally figured out what *does* make 2 special in this regard.

2 is the only prime number p such that all numbers *not* divisible by p
belong to the *same* residue class modulo p.

Thus, 2 is the only prime number not of the form 2n+1. Besides 3, there
are plenty of prime numbers not of the form 3n+1... all the prime
numbers of the form 3n+2.

Thus, 2 is not unique because it is the only even prime. 2 is unique
because it is the only prime number that is not odd.

All primes except 2 and 3 are of the form 6n +/- 1 (that is
6n plus or minus 1).

Scarcely surprising, considering that numbers of the forms 6n and 6n +/-
2 are all even, and those of the form 6n +/- 3 are all divisible by 3.
