This unexpected connection [that quantum physics and prime numbers are
inextricably linked] has given us a glimpse of the mathematics that might,
ultimately, reveal the secret of these enigmatic numbers. At first the link
seemed rather tenuous. But the important role played by the number
42 has recently persuaded even the deepest skeptics that
the subatomic world might hold the key to one of the greatest unsolved
problems in mathematics.

I'm sure it was purely coincidental that Douglas Adams
picked 42 as the Ultimate
Answer to Everything, but still … it's … mind boggingly weird for
this to happen.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
