just this quote from the article shocked me:

“In 1976, Jones, Sato, Wada, and Wiens (2) (…) produced a degree 25 polynomial in 26 variables whose positive values, as the variables vary over nonnegative integers, is the set of primes.“




just to clarify this is well beyond my ability to verify or even situate in larger context.
