In summary: The pattern in terms of twin primes is that the differences in their squares are always divisible by 24.

twin prime acceleration!

few weeks ago while i was doing my physics homework, i thought about the acceleration of prime number, so used the kinematics equations of acceleration on prime numbers. i was amazed to find that the difference of square of two prime numbers(>5) are always divisible by 24. especially if you look into twin primes then you can see a pattern (yet unknown:uhh:)
i mean the differences are reasonable.
how can i prove that,, or m just becoming fool? misunderstanding basic ideas? ( coz once i was glad to find that each and every numbers can be construct out of prime numbers,, which is absolute and universal truth)
help me!
m lost on nothing :grumpy:

here is the list of the few twin prime acceleration

Check the sequence, http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A002822 .
To prove it consider looking at prime numbers mod 6 and squares mod 4. There is a pattern that is readily apparant. Think about how to prove that and you are own your way to the proof you are looking for. Easy work for an student with background in algebra who is interested in numbers, because mod considerations are a basic tool of number theorists.

thankx for the reply.
by the way is it better to spend my time on that new sequence(for me) or let it go coz its already ...?

how can i do mod consideration? i don't have any idea,( right now m taking calc III).

You can spend time looking at this, it will help you understand better. But without a radically new idea and fast computers, you probably won't calculate further than has already been done.

Mods are easy, you know how to do them already. It's clock math -- 11 + 3 = 2 (3 hours past 11 o'clock is 2 o'clock). That's working mod 12 -- you can freely add or subtract 12. It's usually most convenient to put them in the simplest form, that is, between 0 and one less than the modulus. (Clocks instead put the time between 1 and the modulus, which also works.)

All primes other than 2 and 3 are equal to either 1 or 5 mod 6. (Otherwise, they'd be divisible by 2 or 3 -- and of the primes, only 2 and 3 are divisible by 2 and 3.)
 

1. What are twin primes?

Twin primes are a pair of prime numbers that are only two numbers apart from each other, such as 3 and 5, 11 and 13, or 41 and 43. They are considered special because they are the only consecutive prime numbers.

2. What is "Twin prime acceleration"?

"Twin prime acceleration" is a term used to describe the process of finding and identifying larger and more numerous twin primes by using advanced mathematical techniques and algorithms.

3. Why is twin prime acceleration important?

Twin prime acceleration is important because it can help us better understand the distribution of prime numbers and potentially lead to the discovery of new mathematical patterns and relationships. It can also have practical applications in cryptography and computer security.

4. How does twin prime acceleration work?

Twin prime acceleration involves using advanced mathematical techniques, such as the Goldbach conjecture and the Hardy-Littlewood conjectures, to identify patterns in the distribution of prime numbers. It also involves the use of powerful computational tools to search for and verify potential twin primes.

5. Has twin prime acceleration led to any significant discoveries?

Yes, twin prime acceleration has led to the discovery of new, record-breaking twin primes, such as the famous "twin prime constellations" found by Yitang Zhang in 2013. It has also helped to advance our understanding of prime numbers and their distribution in the mathematical world.
