Twin primes September 23, 2013 8:50 am bowser

https://www.simonsfoundation.org/quanta/20130519-unheralded-mathematician-bridges-the-prime-gap/

“ And while such pairs get rarer among larger numbers, twin primes never seem to disappear completely (the largest pair discovered so far is 3,756,801,695,685 x 2 to the (666,669) – 1 and 3,756,801,695,685 x 2 to the (666,669) + 1).”

I cannot wrap my mind around those numbers.  The entire article could be BS, there could be a mistake in the numbers, they can say anything they want to and I certainly don’t have any ability to question it.
