Golden Ratio
Of late, I have read a lot about Golden Ratio and why it is also called
the devine number. For example, Golden Ratio hashing is among the best
known hash algorithms. Don Knuth, in chapter 2 of Metafont draws an
'A' the area of the upper half to lower half is 0.618. The same ratio
occurs all throughout our skeleton structure - see Dan Brown - "Da
Vince Code"

Infinite number of twin primes
I think I have a proof of the fact that there are indeed
an infinite number of twin primes. But I am not
a professional mathematician and shy about my proof.
The proof seems so simple, that I wonder why nobody else
discovered it so far (Am I correct about this one?). That
makes me doubt my proof.
Can anybody help review it?
