COMMENTS

This sequence only makes sense if the sequence n -> sqrt(p_(n+1)) - sqrt(p_n) is a zero-sequence which is a hard unsolved problem. See also Andrica's conjecture

PROG

I computed a couple of thousand primes with EXCEL and ordered them accordingly. There is a very small chance that very large prime numbers will change the order of the given terms above.
