There is an unsolved problem in number theory q1=2,q2=3,q3=5,q4,q5…… Sequence of all prime numbers are arranged by size, then Qk=q1*q2*q3…….qk+1 Q1=3,Q2=7,Q3=31,Q4=211,Q5=2311,Q6=59*509,Q7=19*97*277,Q8=347*27953,Q9=317*7037 63,Q10=331*571*34231 The first five numbers are prime number, The other five numbers are composite number, it is not known whether there are infinitely k let Qk is a prime number, it is also not known whether there are infinite lk let Qk is a composite number. Now there is a solution: Look at a matrix: in 1934, one from the East Indies (now Bangladesh) ordinary scholar - Chandra, in the field of number theory has made a brilliant achievement, this achievement makes him leaving a legacy, immortal. Chandra square sieve the first row is the square sieve is the first of 4, the difference between two adjacent numbers is 3 arithmetic sequence: 4,7,10, ... The second line, third line, ...... any subsequent row are also arithmetic sequence, but the difference between two adjacent numbers gradually become larger, respectively, 5,7,9,11,13, ... and they are all odd . ...................................

his square sieve secret is: If a natural number N appear in the table, then 2N +1 certainly not a prime number, if N does not appear in the table, then 2N +1 is definitely a prime number. Let's look at a few examples. Beginning with 4, skipped three numbers 1,2,3, of course, they will never appear in the table. Then, 2 × 1 +1 = 3,2 × 2 +1 = 5, 2 × 3 +1 = 7. You see, 3,5,7 are prime numbers. Look at the number 17, 17 is in the symmetric matrix 17*2+1=35 and 35 is a prime number. All primes can be launched from the table to the inverse. Qk=q1*q2*q3,,,,*qk+1q1=2,so Q2=2*q2*q3,,,,qk+1,Obviously q2*q3*q4,,,,*qk is a composite number, so q2*q3*q4,,,,*qk=2N+1,if N is in the matrix, Qk=2*(2N+1)+1if 2N +1 appears in the matrix ,Qk is a composite number, N appear in the matrix, There are infinite N in the matrix to make the 2N+1 appear in the matrix or not.so it has infinite Qk=2*(2N+1)+1 is a prime or not. ,So the conjecture has a possibility set up ! A new solution to solve the twin prime conjecture Twin primes conjecture in number theory is a famous unsolved problem . This conjecture can be described as "exist infinite number of twin primes ." A difference of two twin primes pair of primes. For example, 3 and 5 , 5 and 7, 11 and 13 , ... , 10016957 and 10016959 , and so are twin primes . The method of my proof is as follows : Look at a matrix: in 1934, one from the East Indies (now Bangladesh) ordinary scholar - Chandra, in the field of number theory has made a brilliant achievement, this achievement makes him leaving a legacy, immortal. Chandra square sieve the first row is the first of four, the difference between two adjacent numbers is 3 arithmetic sequence: 4,7,10, ... (could have been written down, never write less head). The second line, third line, ...... any subsequent row are also arithmetic sequence, but the difference between two adjacent numbers gradually become larger, respectively, 5,7,9,11,13, ... and they are all odd . 4 7 10 13 16 19 22 25 …… 7 12 17 22 27 32 37 42 …… 10 17 24 31 38 45 52 59 …… 13 22 31 40 49 58 67 76 16 27 38 49 60 71 82 93 …… 19 32 45 58 71 84 97 110 ……. This square sieve secret is: If a natural number N appear in the table, then 2N +1 certainly not a prime number, if N does not appear in the table, then 2N +1 is definitely prime. Let's look at a few examples. Since the beginning of this table from the four, skipped three numbers 1,2,3, of course, they will never appear in the table. Then, 2 × 1 +1 = 3, 2 × 2 +1 =5, 2 × 3 +1 = 7. You see, 3,5,7 are prime numbers. Look at the number in the table 17, which equals 1 plus 2 times 35 and 35 is not a prime number. Almost all primes can be launched from the table to the inverse. In the first line of the matrix between the two numbers are also two numbers and they do not appear in the matrix , such as 5 and 6,5 * 11,6 * 2 +1 = 2 +1 = 13,11 and 13 is a twin prime number, if without the second row third row and fourth row,,, interventionthe adjacent numbers do not appear in the first row which two times of them and plus 1 are infinitely twin primes. In fact, even with their intervention, with the number increases, the twin primes will become increasingly scarce, however , the second line , third line , fourth line,,,,,can impossible to completely cover the first row , so the twin primes is infinite.
