This is the Ulam spiral, which illustrates the distribution of prime numbers. The dark diagonal lines in the spiral hint at the hypothesized approximate independence between being prime and being a value of a quadratic polynomial, a conjecture now known as Hardy and Littlewood's Conjecture F.

Simple questions, hard answers

Goldbach’s conjecture says every even number greater than 2 is a sum of two primes. It’s still unproven.
