Why will Riemann Hypothesis never be proven?

I think it can never be proven because math is still badly lacking any knowledge of prime numbers. They still have not created any formula or function that can produce all the prime numbers. They need to create a function f(x) such that if x is 1, 2,....n then 2, 3, 5, 7, 11..... are produced as output. Such formula exists but they don't know how to produce it. Ramanujan was working on creating a formula for primes but died at age 32 and his incomplete work could never be completed again. Many formulas that produced exact value of Pi were not known until Ramunujan discovered them and created them. His pi formula has the fastest convergence and is used in modern computers. If Ramanujan did not exist such formulas would never be known. Because of the lack of new knowledge creating mathematicians like Euler, Ramanujan, Newton, etc etc, Riemann Hypothesis cannot ever be proven. Today they are trying to prove Riemann Hypothesis using existing incomplete knowledge and that just can't do the job. Furthermore modern mathematician never create anything new in math. Its just same repetition of the old stuff which has existed for several decades. Perelman proved Poincare Conjecture (a 100 year old unproven conjecture which was a million dollar problem) but he created brand new formulas on his own and employed those never before seen formulas and theorems to prove poincare conjecture. He himself mentioned later in an interview that the current existing math knowledge could never have proven poincare conjecture and so he had to create his own equations and formulas. I feel existing knowledge is insufficient in proving RH and again and again they try using existing knowledge to prove RH. That's why they always fail.
