The legend of the prime numbers

 

There was once a legend that 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and many other numbers are prime, that is, they cannot be divisible by an integer other than 1 and itself.

The legend still holds true today, but I have news: it’s not true.

Unfortunately, now I can't say for sure whether all legendary primes are complex numbers, or or whether there may be new real primes not yet discovered.

I’ll think, and if I have news, I’ll report.

But in the meantime, I’ll share details about the legend unveiling soon.
