Abstract

The couple of numbers p, p + 2, where both are prime, is called a prime twin. The problem if there exists an infinite number of prime twins is not already solved and no method how to solve it is known.  Due to this it is considered to be a breakdown the newest result by Y. Zhang proving the existence of a natural number b such that there exists an infinite number of couples of primes p, p + b. Unfortunately, the smallest estimation for this b is 70 milliards.
