0:00.0 | Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse Podcast, live stream number 249 was it yes 249 which is of course not prime yep yeah right it's factors being |
0:18.8 | its factors being three good and 83 making it a colossal prime that's what mathematicians call this kind of |
0:26.2 | prime did you read my notes no no did you read the notes of our friend who sent |
0:30.1 | that to you after I had already put into my notes. Thank you Holly. |
0:33.2 | No I uh... but you just made up colossal prime. No I didn't that's what |
0:37.8 | mathematicians call it. Yes they did the good ones. Yeah the egghead |
0:41.8 | ones call it like a super prime or something. |
0:44.0 | And why is that? But the cooler, HIPAA mathematicians call it a colossal prime. |
0:48.4 | Why? Because all the factors are themselves prime. Yes. Now when I asked Siri about |
0:56.8 | so-called Super Prime. |
0:58.8 | Siri. I know. Well I was driving. There was no other way to look it up so I asked |
1:03.3 | Siri to look at up the dog with whom you were driving I did you could have |
1:06.8 | no answer okay now this has gotten weird but I asked Siri and Siri said |
1:12.4 | something that has perplexed me. I have not yet checked into it. |
1:15.2 | But Siri said something like a super prime, which the cool mathematicians call a colossal prime. |
1:21.0 | A super prime is a prime in which all the factors are prime and exist in the sequence of known primes. |
1:28.0 | And that sounded redundant to me. |
1:32.0 | Yeah, I don't know what that means. |
1:33.0 | Yeah, I don't either. I guess the idea is that because there are an indefinite number of primes, |
1:40.0 | presumably an infinite number of primes. |
1:43.0 | There are primes that we don't yet know about and they may be factors of even larger primes and so |
1:47.9 | the fact that we haven't identified something means that a super prime requires that we know that its factors are prime. |
