Lex Fridman wrote about a a weird prime number (and its not the smallest prime number 2).

The number is:

1000000000000066600000000000001

There is a particular symmetric pattern in this number.

It's basically 666 with 13 zeros on each side and ones at both ends.

Lex Fridman stumbled upon it while reading up on Cliff Pickover. A brilliant mathematician who is a life adventurer in intellectual pursuit.

The interesting concept that is highlighted by Lex is that it's crazy how math can be so full of odd patterns, or maybe our brains just love finding patterns in everything.

No matter if its the first or the latter. There is some beauty in both.
