The
east west coordinate determines how load each
harmonic plays. The points at sea-level might
have been dotted all over the map of the imaginary
world. Instead, Riemann’s calculations showed
that they all seem to lie in a straight line –
no note plays louder than any other note! But
can we be sure that all points at sea-level really
are on this line? Riemann believed they were and
this is what is called the Riemann Hypothesis.
Mathematicians have been searching ever since
to prove that there is no stray point sitting
off the line, playing a loud note in the music
of the primes.
This line is called the critical line.

Through Riemann’s looking glass of his
imaginary landscape the chaos of the primes turns
into the order of the points at sea-level. FINALLY
A PATTERN EMERGES.
