Twin primes Memes

That moment when you're introduced to the Twin Prime Conjecture and suddenly your entire weekend is gone. For the uninitiated, it's that unsolved math problem suggesting there are infinitely many pairs of primes that differ by 2 (like 3 and 5, 11 and 13). Mathematicians have been staring intensely at it since 1849 with exactly the same facial expression. Currently at "we know there are infinitely many primes that differ by at most 246" - which is like saying you're "almost" at the moon when you've reached the second floor.

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!
