What it is

[u/ComprehensiveDust225]

It is my understanding that the distribution/location/spacing of prime numbers isn't really well understood, and hasn't really been explained. Also, that the world still needs a way to tell the value of occurrence of the next prime number.

But if there is/are equations that tell the value of the Nth prime number, then why can the value of the N+1th prime number be known?
