kyokokristen connollyA new number was discovered by a team of German mathematicians in January of this year. The previously unknown integer lies in the relatively unexplored region between the numbers 88,000,002,999 and 88,000,003,000. This unexpected integer has been provis ionally named “S,” for “Surpri,” until the mathematical community has determined its exact location and value.
exist什么意思
humourThe existence of undiscovered whole numbers in the space between known integers has long been recognized as a possibility, according to theoretical mathematician and team leader Angela Zifferling at the Institute for Polynomial Advance in Töttingen, Germany.
Crunching Numbers
It is largely becau we are only ud to counting up to a thousand or so in our everyday lives that we fail to notice the prence of so-called “inter-integral” numbers and other strange phenomena that lie in the incredibly distant regions of the number line.obviously
As Zifferling explains：“It’s as if you only made obrvations from here to the moon, and concluded that there isn’t anything much in outer space. We really have no idea what may exist in the remoter reg
ions of the number line, becau the simple fact is that the area beyond around one hundred billion is still almost completely unexplored.”
If confirmed, the existence of number S would make calculations involving numbers in its region much moresuede乐队
announce一般现在时的构成difficult, as it will probably be found to be exerting a kind of pressure on the whole numbers on either side of it in order to fit in. Mathematicians refer to this pressure as “integral crowding,” and say that it may increasingly be a problem as we move farther and farther from zero.
