Program to Calculate Prime Numbers

THIS SHOULD BE READ BY BIOLOGISTS AND GENETICISTS

I HAVE SPENT 27 YEARS OF MY LIFE SEARCHING FOR THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION, IS THERE A FORMULA THAT WILL GENERATE ONLY PRIME NUMBERS OR IS THAT IMPOSSIBLE?. MANY PEOPLE SINCE TIME BEGAN SOUGHT THE ANSWER AND NONE HAVE FOUND IT; WHICH IS WHY I BEGAN THE SEARCH. IN MY WARPED SENSE OF MY EGO-AT 17 YEARS OF AGE, I THOUGHT I COULD DO ANYTHING SINCE I HAD NEVER FAILED AT ANYTHING YET AT THAT AGE.

IN 1972 I FOUND THE PATH TO THE SOLUTION, AND AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF TRYING TO GET RECOGNITION AS THE FIRST PERSON ON THIS PLANET TO FIND A SOLUTION, I FAILED TO GET PUBLISHED, AND WAS REBUFFED BY THE ACADEMIC AND MATH COMMUNITIES, EVEN THOUGH THEY GAVE NO EXPLANATION FOR THEIR REFUSAL TO EXAMINE MY WORK. FINALLY, I JOINED MENSA, AND PUBLISHED THE ESSENCE OF MY WORK IN THE NOVEMBER 1975 ISSUE OF MENSA’S JOURNAL.

I HAVE NOT LEARNED VERY MUCH SINCE BEING 17, AND I AM STILL SO VAIN THAT I BELIEVE THAT I AM A SPECIAL HUMAN BEING WHOSE DNA SHOULD BE SAVED AND EXAMINED FOR POSTERITY.

WHETHER OR NOT THAT IS TRUE, IS IRRELEVANT TO THE FOLLOWING TRUE STATEMENTS:

1. ALL PRIMES (EXCEPT 2,3 and 5) END IN 1,3,7 OR 9.

2. ALL PRIMES EXIST IN ONE OF 24 FAMILIES.

3. THE 24 FAMILIES ARE THE RESULT OF MY RESEARCH.

4. THE SIMILARITIES IN THE 4 BUILDING BLOCKS OF DNA AND RNA PLUS THE 24 CHROMOSOMES OF MAN, TO THE 4 BUILDING BLOCKS OF PRIMES AND ITS 24 FAMILIES, HAS LED ME TO CONCLUDE THAT THERE EXISTS A DEFINITE RELATIONSHIP TO THE SECRETS OF PRIMES AND THE SECRETS OF DOUBLE SPIRAL HELICES.

5. I AM NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE ENOUGH TO ENTER THE FIELD OF BIO-GENETICS, AND MAYBE I AM NOT SMART ENOUGH ANYMORE TO FIND THE CONNECTION. I AM CONVINCED THAT MY CONJECTURE AS TO THIS RELATIONSHIP IS OF SUCH IMPORTANCE, THAT SOMEONE IN THE BIO-GENETIC-MATH COMMUNITY SHOULD PURSUE THIS PREMISE. ALSO, I AM GETTING TO OLD FOR THIS DEPTH OF REASONING AND DISCIPLINED LOGIC.

THE FOLLOWING PAGES GIVE THE FRAMEWORK OF MY RESULTS, BUT FIRST LET ME EXPLAIN A FEW THINGS;

1. THE LEVEL OF MATHEMATICS REQUIRED TO UNDERSTAND MY STATEMENTS, REQUIRES ORDINARY HIGH SCHOOL STUFF.

2. THE LEVEL OF LOGIC AND REASONING IS A LITTLE HIGHER.

3. ALL NUMBERS DIVISIBLE BY 2,3 AND 5 HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE V NOS. GENERATED BY EQ.2,P.3, WHICH MAKES THE SAMPLE TO INVESTIGATE MUCH SMALLER.

4. THE COMPOSITES ARE ALWAYS MADE FROM 2 OR MORE PRIMES.

5. COMPOSITES THAT ARE SQUARES CAN ONLY OCCUR IN V_A NOS. ENDING IN 1 OR 9.

IN 1988 I BOUGHT A TWO POUND COMPUTER POWERED BY 4 AA BATTERIES, WHICH ENABLED ME TO TAKE MY WONDERFUL FORMULAE AND CREATE A SIMPLE PROGRAM TO ALLOW THE COMPUTER TO TEST ANY NUMBER LESS THAN A BILLION, FOR ITS FACTORS OR PRIMALITY IN A FEW SECONDS!! I CAN TAKE THIS WITH ME ANYWHERE. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DNA, BUT IT IS FASCINATING, AND A RESEARCHER MAY USE THIS AS A TOOL. MY PROGRAM CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE TO ANY QUALIFIED RESEARCHER.
