I heard part of your Dateline straddling edition and caught the sound of a man airing the preposterous notion that the sum of all primes approaches infinity.
Primes aren't the majority of all possible numbers.
As primes become fewer, the higher their value, and while there may be an uncalculated number of them, and their total may be bogglingly large, it isn't remotely approaching infinity.
since a number nearer to it, almost certainly a lot nearer, than the sum of all primes is the sum of all non-primes.
I think someone is confusing the concept of very big with infinite.
Matt Parker sits before me in the dock.
