| Popis: | The Gaussian Moat problem asks whether one can walk to infinity in the Gaussian integers using the Gaussian primes as stepping stones and taking bounded length steps or not. In this paper, we have analyzed the Gaussian primes and also developed an algorithm to find the primes on the $\mathbb{R}^2$ plane which will help us to calculate the moat for higher value. We have also reduced a lot of computation with this algorithm to find the Gaussian prime though their distribution on the $\mathbb{R}^2$ plane is not so regular. A moat of value $\sqrt{26}$ is already an existing result done by Genther et.al. The focus of the problem is to show that primes are getting lesser as we are approaching infinity. We have shown this result with the help of our algorithm. We have calculated the moat and also calculated the time complexity of our algorithm and compared it with Genther-Wagon-Wick's algorithm. As a new ingredient, we have defined the notion of primality for the plane $\mathbb{R}^3$ and proposed a problem on it. Comment: The claims made in Section 8 are incorrect because the argument is based on Cram\'er's probabilistic models, which are known to be false. In fact, due to the work done by Granville, it is now widely believed that Cram\'er's conjecture is false."
