I am aware of huge work having been done on prime numbers to see if their occurence in the series 1,2,3,5,7,11,13,17.........'n' can actually be predicted. I am aware of the 'Sieve of Eratosthenes' and of work done by Euler and others. But I wish to know if there are still people out there who believe such an equation (to predict prime numbers based on previous primes) is believed in or is the product of any ongoing study. The implications for discovery in this area are surely enormous.
