But it’s the physicists’ job to find this stuff.

Yeah, it’s not like the mathematics lost any of the numbers. Get your shit together physicists.

I mean mathematicians are still missing over 99.999% of prime numbers, so…

They haven’t even found more than two factors, one of which is one, for any prime number, either.

Get it together, Mathematicians.

, or ℙ for short.

I think that should be all of them, but if you want to check, there are references on the website where we keep all the numbers detailing how to check any number, or to list all of them if you want an arbitrarily large pile or have infinite time on your hands. :)

The technical term you’re looking for is “almost all” prime numbers. Not joking btw.

Well they did demonstrate that in a non trivial system of axioms, there will always be true statements that are unprovable. Do they kinda accepted that they will never be able to find everything. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel's_incompleteness_theorems

Well, either they can’t find everything in that system, or they can also find something that contradicts something else that’s true.

It balances out, because while there’s infinite facts they can’t prove, there’s also infinite lies they can prove.

I know exactly how to find it, and unless you’re a mathematician I’m not sure you’re authorized to know.

Whoa there, if you want it’s physical location you’ll have to ask a physicist, they’re in charge of tangible things.
Otherwise, just take a turn perpendicular to the reals, or check in the platonic realm.
