I know that this is mathematics and not science, but congrats to the people involved in finding the largest prime number! Fivethirtyeight ran an article, and subtly gave S@H some press as well: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/we-have-a-new-prime-number-and-its-23-million-digits-long/ |

Mathematics is science. In fact, it is the mother of physics, chemistry and astronomy. Tullio |

Still waiting for some quantum computers that would do the same task in virtually no time at all. |

Wednesday March 14 2018, 1:18 PM I shall celebrate the existence of that new, and a bit large, prime number with a toast! If someone can send me a copy of it, maybe i can use it as wallpaper? :) Whoopie, a truly thrilling event. Now, if only Hillary, oops, I mean "Blamery," would go to the other side of the universe I would have a 2nd, and larger drink. :) ... Fairy Tale: A long time ago, there lived a woman. She did not nag, bitch, or rant. But, it was just that one day. And it was a long time ago. :) The End River Song (aka Linda Latte on planet Earth) "Happy I-Phone girl on the GO GO GO" |
