primes up to 101.mpg

Impressive. If you omitted the ones circles then there might be a little less visual clutter - primes would be where a single circle intersects the axis.

Hey, I appreciate the comment! I agree, the thing is that once you get past 101 you no longer have 2 circles intersecting at primes, you only have the "1" circle. This visual sieve will give you prime numbers up to the number 10201 (which is not prime). If you go to the website I called out you'll see what this sieve looks like near 10.000.

I got distracted from your mirror vids and ended up watching these...fascinating. I have to second iknowfunny's idea about removing the diameter-of-one circles for visual clarity. The same thought occurred to me.

@kiphawking Hey, I actually did this a while back... I had a presentation at a local university and deleted the "1" circles... Once you get past one hundred something you have very easy to discern black holes where the prime numbers are... around 20.000 it's amazing how the prime numbers just pop out from the rest of the numbers... If you go to the website, you'll see under the tabs "twin primes" and "zeta functions" some pretty interesting stuff mathematically...Thanks for the comments!!
