Okay now - primes are extremely important ; )
They are one of the major componants of cryptography /encryption - $$ is there.
Without them, Dan Brown wouldn’t have had a book!
Prime numbers are the building blocks of integers.
Plus, if you’re a fan of number theory (Euclid’s Secornd Theorem) that primes are infinite - and of course that becomes a challenge, like climbing a mountain. If you can prove that primes aren’t infinite - your name will be in text books for years to come!
