Zero
Well, I just submitted a paper to the Journal of Numerical Analysis and Computational Mathematics. It involves my new calculation for zero to a record 4.3 trillion digits. The algorithm is breathtakingly complicated and took me nearly 5 years to perfect, and I had to add a five-terabyte hard drive to my PC just to hold the number. Not that I did the calculation on my PC. For that, I “borrowed” time on several supercomputers over the course of nine months, and probably the less said about that the better.
Anyway, right now I’m euphoric, enjoying a tremendous sense of accomplishment, tempered by a cautious awareness that these journals can be notoriously cliquish, enforcing their own obscure and arcane requisites for publication. Anyway, hoping you’ll wish me luck getting this revolutionary work into the public and scientific eye.
