The figure is calculated by multiplying 2 by itself 77,232,917 times and then subtracting 1...
Announced on January 3, the number is almost a million digits longer than the last record-breaking prime.
This just keeps going people, just in case you were wondering. It doesn't ever stop...
I still find things like the remaining Sierpinski primes to be more significant than this however...
I postulate that at some unknown level there are tiers or magnitude orders where numbers sort of reset to 1 as far as finding primes go. We haven't discovered the formula yet, but I think there is one. Where you basically reset the entire number system at a certain calculated point and then all the known primes just repeat based on a fractal pattern.... I can promise you this will be discovered to be truth one day...
