The last two days in a row we have surpassed 300 days of compute time for @WCGrid. This has been in conjunction with other projects such as @Rosettaathome, @PrimeGrid, @GPUGrid, @Milkywayathome, and @Einsteinathome Keep Moving Forward #boinc #wcg #beyondthefringe #science

The only known Cullen prime numbers that humans are aware of have n values below. Perhaps humans will find no others. Cullen numbers are of the form n x 2^n + 1. bit.ly/327Nxk6

9 hours into the Katherine Johnson Memorial Challenge, we've already sent out nearly 16,000 Riesel Problem tasks! Still about 6 days left in the challenge, so it's not too late to get in on the action! #BOINC #Distributed primegrid.com/forum_thread.p…

In honor of the life of Katherine Johnson, PrimeGrid will be running a #BOINC 7-day TRP-LLR challenge from 24 July 20:00 UTC to 31 July 20:00 UTC. Will we end this subproject's 3-year prime drought? Disputes? Dubieties? Discuss in the forum thread: primegrid.com/forum_thread.p…

Alan Turing, an influential mathematician and an innovative code breaker who helped win World War II, was born #onthisday in 1912. #PrideMonth #Pride nytimes.com/2019/06/05/obitu…

Overlooked No More: Alan Turing, Condemned Code Breaker and Computer Visionary (Published 2019)

His ideas led to early versions of modern computing and helped win World War II. Yet he died as a criminal for his homosexuality.

Both religion and mathematics sometimes attempt to express relationships between humans, the universe, and infinity. Both can have arcane symbols and rituals, and impenetrable language. Both exercise the deep recesses of our minds and stimulate our imagination.

Today's featured #PrimeNumber is a special one. Or, to be precise, a lot of special ones. 11111111...111, with 1031 consecutive 1's is the largest known Repunit prime! There are probable primes as large as 270,343 digits, but they're much harder to prove. primes.utm.edu/primes/page.p…
