COMMENTS
The constant S_1 + S_2 is related to the prime gaps, since twin primes produce the largest terms of the sum compared with neighboring terms.
FORMULA
S_1 + S_2 = Sum_{j>=1} prime(j)!/prime(j + 1)! = Sum_{j>=2} 1/(Product{k=prime(j - 1) + 1, prime(j)} k) = 1/3 + 1/(4*5) + 1/(6*7) + 1/(8*9*10*11) + ...
EXAMPLE
S_1 + S_2 = 0.419222064903...
