Why No Polynomial Can Generate Prime Numbers - A Mathematical Proof

Explore a 14-minute mathematical video that delves into the fascinating world of prime-generating expressions and proves why polynomials cannot exclusively generate prime numbers. Learn about different types of prime numbers including Mersenne and Fermat primes, examine interesting polynomial expressions like x^2-x+41 and x^2-79x+1601, and follow a clear proof by contradiction using the fundamental theorem of algebra that demonstrates the impossibility of a polynomial generating only prime numbers.
