The Nature of Optimality

Posted to the number theory ListServe Group on Monday, March 16, 2009. The theory of "Prime Methology" as put forth by Martin M. Musatov:

How to construct infinitely large prime numbers:

"First, eliminate even numbers and any multiples of five. Then, except for the first number, eliminate all numbers that end in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 that were mutiplied by numbers that end 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9. The rest are prime."
