Researchers at UCLA have discovered a prime so gigantic it makes Optimus look like a noble speck of dust. Put it this way: imagine every atom in the universe. Now imagine that every one of those atoms was an entire universe, and every atom in each of those was another entire universe like some vast cosmic Matroyshka doll. The total number of atoms in that fractal universe assemblange would still only be about two hundred and fifty digits long.

celestial bodies exert a magnetic field, however a magnetar’s is exponentially stronger than that of our own. "A magnetar would
wipe the information from all credit cards on Earth from a distance
halfway to the Moon," says co-author Antonio de Ugarte Postigo.
"Magnetars remain quiescent for decades. It is likely that there is a
considerable population in the Milky Way, although only about a dozen
have been identified."

Google Inc., which is celebrating its 10th birthday this month, unveiled a $10 million effort to implement ideas that can "change the world by helping as many people as possible." Google plans to ask its users to submit ideas until Oct. 20. Google will choose what it feels are the 100 best ideas for categories that include, but are not limited to,
community, energy, environment, health, education, shelter and
opportunities for people to better provide for themselves and their
families. Google will then allow its users to vote on which of them should be funded.
