Progress on Gilbreath’s conjecture
SMRTR summary
Gilbreath's conjecture — a simple but deeply puzzling math problem about prime numbers — remains unproven, and experts like Paul Erdős believed it could take 200 years to crack. Terence Tao and two coauthors recently published a paper using a random model to better understand why the conjecture is likely true, though a full proof remains far out of reach.
