One of the Millennium prize problems has haunted mathematicians since Bernhard Riemann propounded it in 1859; I take up suggestions here by physicist Freemon Dyson and others that the solution may reside not in abstract mathematics, but in the most fundamental domain of nature—that of quantum mechanics. I propose that the orbits of the oscillatory nucleus of the hydrogen atom may, in fact, be fundamentally related to the distribution of the prime numbers and to Riemann's hypothesis.
