We are also fairly sure we can form any number by adding two primes together. This is Goldbach’s Conjecture, set as a question in a letter written to Euler in 1742. It is still unproven! Euclid proved there are an infinite number of primes by using reductio ad absurdum. Imagine we have a complete list o

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

s in it taking the shortest route possible from its initial to final position. The related 1650 Fermat’s “principle of least time” is about light. As Feynman explains in his Lectures in Physics, “...out of all possible paths that light might take from one point another, light takes the path that requires t
