Once again, I disprove the theory. Since both routes fail, James’ list of prime numbers is not complete and, therefore, prime numbers are infinite. Feynman's Proof My favorite piece of logic is Richard Feynman's disproof of the existence of polywater. It’s a strange logical proof bordering on philosophy
