kind of silly that so much credit is attributed to Maynard and Tao when so many other mathematicians involved in this managed to find smaller and smaller gaps

Is there any limit on the largest gap between primes? The most consecutive numbers without hitting a prime?

I thought it was known that there are infinitely many twin primes already? Am I wrong?

Which proves that James Maynard and Terence Tao are PRIME mathematicians.
