What’s So Weird About Prime Numbers and The Internet?

Shalit (2018) describes a prime number is one that can only be divided by either one or itself, meaning it has no divisors. The unique thing about prime numbers is that the primes not only dot the number line but that primes can only generate the entire number line. Also, apart from number 2, all the other prime numbers have odd numbers since even numbers have 2 as the divisor, thus making them composite. However, these numbers have a weird fact. Carl Sagan claims that aliens are trying to use prime numbers as gestures and signals to converse with human beings.
