Why the secrecy?

FYI:

"Google AI Overview:
In number theory, some of the "big secrets" or unsolved mysteries include the distribution of prime numbers, the Riemann Hypothesis, Goldbach's conjecture, and the twin prime conjecture, which all deal with complex patterns and relationships within prime numbers, considered the building blocks of the number system, and finding ways to predict their occurrences within the number line; despite their seemingly simple nature, these questions have remained elusive to mathematicians for centuries, often requiring sophisticated mathematical tools to even attempt solutions.

Key points about these "secrets":

Prime Number Distribution:
Understanding how prime numbers are scattered across the number line is a major mystery; while we know there are infinitely many primes, predicting where the next one will appear is difficult.

Riemann Hypothesis:
This conjecture, related to the distribution of prime numbers, is considered one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics.

Goldbach's Conjecture:
This states that every even number greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers, and while evidence supports it, a definitive proof remains elusive.

Twin Prime Conjecture:
This asks whether there are infinitely many pairs of prime numbers that are only one apart (like 3 and 5)..."

Who knows the answers?

We hope our work on this site has disclosed some secrets...
