After 6 years of GRUELING research, a new prime number has been discovered.
What does this mean for the word, scientifically and mathematically speaking?

Why do we need new prime numbers? Aren't 3 and 5 sufficient?

Projects like GIMPS are more a benchmark to show the current state of computing speed and distributed processing. Someone people also find them fun and a good use of idle cpu cycles.

It's more interesting in binary. It's all 1's.

All primes are either
a. [math]2[/math]
b. [math]2^p\pm1[/math]

Wrong, Mersenne's formula skips most of the primes.

No, however... you could say that all primes are either 2 or 2n +/- 1

Prime numbers are useful for creating "random numbers".

TIL 9 is a prime number

Many "random" generators work exactly by taking powers of numbers in the field with p elements where p is a fuckhuge prime. They will not appear random if the prime isn't big enough.

If that number is so big why won't it fight me?

how "random" do we need numbers to be really?
