this is a number even larger than the number of atoms in the universe. and it's in discoveries like this, and in the ongoing pursuit of even larger mersenne primes -- or perhaps proving that no such larger primes exist -- that we find the joy, the fun, and the beauty of mathematics. it is truly the one pursuit where it makes sense and is perhaps even required to take your explorations out into the infinite, where no one has gone before. and so mathematics offers the explorer a kind of freedom, bound only by the laws of logic. we can pose our own puzzles or take on those puzzles posed by the world around us. whether large or small, each unsolved puzzle or problem is like a new mountain to be scaled, a sea to be crossed, or a new frontier to be explored. now, there's that 44th mersenne prime again. it's amazing that although we may have been aware of the primes for 20,000 years, so much about them remains unresolved. patterns have been observed, but we can't be sure the patterns continue on the number line out into infinity. we found the 44th mersenne prime
