to people going -why waste ALL that paper-: I've worked at a job where we threw away that much paper maybe every hour. Please don't worry about one-off's while large companies dump resources by the truckloads, just because the wrong colour paint was loaded or some other random reason.
Also, paper is probably one of the easiest things to replace. just plant more trees. Not showering at least once every single day of the week will probably save more energy and resources than one guy printing off a huge prime number every once in a while.

Dear Matt - The reason for all the confusion about primal values of n (etc) is partly due to confusion about the metalogical nature of numbers and symbols (etc. For example, though the potential (implicate) existence of any ultra-colossal number exists (due to the metalogical enabling principles (of set -N- (numeric logic, its actual, explicate existence requires production (by whoever, using whatever operation/computer. I hope that disproof & explanation is sufficient. Otherwise, rite on & tally ho! Cheers - to many more episodes!

Thank you for this very much for this video. The video shows that pi is approximately 22 / 7. This value is approximately 3. 14. Using the properties of this value we can compute prime numbers in sequence, which is based on the existing computing capability. The formula was an algorithm, that was developed by a well known mathematician. Using his formula and the method that I discovered, I can compute prime numbers in sequence using 22 / 7.

To put down all the hype about GIMPS, remember: those things shorten lifetime of your PC, because you load it to the 100% mark 24/7, it heats up, it is unusable during that period, and it consumes electricity, most importantly. I wonder who is paying those thousands of dollars extra for the electricity bill each year that professor runs 800 desktops (probably not too new and efficient ones)

Ah. mathematicians and their antiquated fascination and amusement with base 1010. Illusions of complexity. You should have printed the number in binary as a bitmap with each pixel representing a single binary digit. It would have only taken 110 peaces of paper to print (at 100101100 DPI, and it would have looked much more -uniform- and -orderly-. :)

Tony Stark: Hey Strange, what are you doing?
Dr. Strange: I was looking at all possible futures of the fight.
Tony Stark: How many did you find?
Dr. Strange: 2-84----------
Tony Stark: How many did we win?
Dr. Strange: 1
Tony Stark: So basically we have 2-84-----------1 possibilities of losing.

Wait but surely if you took the product of all the known consecutive primes, starting at 2, and added 1, you'd have a number you know is prime but is astronomically big, bigger than even this number here. A quick Google search told me we know at least 50 million consecutive primes though I imagine we know far more

This is the product of human imagination and logical thinking but -predates universe- is really a big assumption to say there. It's like saying -dragons existed- but they did not, it's just that we use the principle of -combination- (reptiles + wings + fire) and our imagination to produce a picture.

And what if there is a typo? A single typo will ruin the whole book. And they'll find bigger ones. And then, there are primes with quadrillions and vigintillions and centillions (>10-300) of digits, which us teeny humans will never know. what's the use of printing these tiny prime numbers.
