Montgomery (1973)\nand Dyson noticed that the SPACINGS between the Riemann zeta zeros follow the same distribution\nas the eigenvalue spacings of large random Hermitian matrices (the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble) —\nthe very statistics that describe the ENERGY LEVELS of heavy nuclei and quantum chaos. Odlyzko's\ncomputations of billions of zeros confirmed it to high precision. A prime number and a uranium\nnucleus carry the same deep statistical signature. No one knows why.
