ya.. no one has been able to find any formal proves regarding prime and perfect numbers. we are all waiting for it... but a development of a whole new branch/system or langauge of number theory would be neccessary to do it. Since Godel already proved there is not system powerful enough to encompass it all... we need someoen specific enough to prove it... but within the power of discovered systems. i mean, Euclid did prove tehre are infinite primes, but the problem is no one can prove an equation that gives you. Furthermore, no one has yet proved there are infinite perfect numbers or the existance of odd perfect number.... ahhh who needs science when there is so much to explore in math? :P
