Mathematicians have been pulling their beards out for centuries over the Twin Prime Conjecture, which asks if there are infinitely many pairs of primes that differ by 2 (like 3 and 5, 11 and 13, etc.). Meanwhile, this ancient sage is just sitting there with the confidence of someone who's either discovered time travel or had way too much wine, declaring "YES" as if he found the proof between breakfast and lunch. Spoiler alert: we still don't know the answer in 2023! That's mathematics for you - spending hundreds of years on a question that can be answered in one word... if only we knew which word was correct!
The Sage Has Spoken: Twin Primes Forever
