If and only if the space between prime numbers get's bigger each time you go upper in numbers, then infinity plus 1 cannot be a prime if infinity is a prime, or vice versa. Thus, either infinity is a prime, or infinity plus one is a prime, or none is a prime.

But this is if we treat infinity as a number, and if we believe that there is a difference between infinity and infinity plus 1. And I disagree with both of these.
