Finney's Ghost

Finney's Ghost is a mathematical concept related to the behavior of prime numbers and prime gaps. It describes a specific prediction about the size and frequency of unusually large gaps between consecutive primes, based on the work of mathematician John Horton Finney. Essentially, it suggests that infinitely many prime gaps can be extremely large, and provides a framework for understanding how these gaps grow as numbers increase. While the details require advanced mathematics, the core idea is that primes don't always appear evenly and sometimes there are unexpectedly long stretches without a prime.
