Oct 23, 2018 at 21:02 comment added Gerry Myerson @Steven, the link in Bullet's comment actually says there is a prime between $x$ and $x+x^{21/40}$ for all large $x$, so the first half of Bullet's comment is misleading, and scibee is correct to object. But the second part of Bullet's comment is correct, and is what I had in mind when I posted my comment.
Oct 23, 2018 at 16:09 comment added Steven Landsburg It would be very good to include an explanation of why you expect this might be true.
Oct 23, 2018 at 15:56 comment added Steven Landsburg @GerryMyerson : Not that it actually matters, but I read your comment as saying that there is a prime between $x$ and $x^{21/40}$ for all $x$ and that this implies the conjecture for large $x$. So scibee's response is in fact on target and (at least given my reading, which I think is the natural one), "114 is not a large $x$" is not relevant. (Of course my reading is not the same as what you actually meant.)
Oct 23, 2018 at 11:02 comment added Gerry Myerson 114 is not a large $x$, scibee.
Oct 23, 2018 at 8:12 comment added scibee There is not a prime between 114 and 114+114^(21/40)
Oct 23, 2018 at 7:57 comment added LeechLattice Since there is a prime between $x$ and $x+x^{(21/40)}$, your conjecture holds for large $x$.

Oct 23, 2018 at 7:12 comment added Greg Martin You could add the context that the upper bound in the conjecture is attained for $x=114$.
