Infinite Twin Primes: Two Methods

Authors: William Blickos

This paper is a revision and consolidation of two different but related methods to prove that there are infinitely many twin primes. The proofs are presented in the opposite order in which they were developed, largely due to the fact that a statement used at the end of the original proof, requiring its own proof, inspired and lead to the second method. The original technique uses surfaces, parabolas, and a number of lines. The 2nd proof, presented 1st, is actually the more direct and formal method. It primarily uses 2 surfaces, and also includes the extra steps needed to prove an analogous statement to one that was treated trivially in the first. Together these proofs compliment each other, and contain my body of work on the subject in a single resource.
