Prime Numbers

Random lack-of-pattern, unpredictable and seemingly without reason. This multifaceted definition could be the description of either the inconsistencies of prime numbers, or it could define the whimsical occurrences of our lives. Just like there is no way to determine the next prime number, there is no way to wake up in the morning and know how your day will conspire. And as the mathematicians are hunched at their desks, pounding on their calculators and staring through their half-inch thick glasses desperately trying to find a formula to align those sporadic digits, the world's intellectuals are leaning back, stroking their chins, smoking their pipes and pondering the reason, meaning, pattern of life. And as our philosophy and math theory classes will shows us, there are still no answers.
