MATH!

I have contributed to the wonderful world of math! By using the GIMPS program, I have discovered something... not very amazing. The program discovers new prime numbers, and runs harmlessly in the background of your computer. And, if you discover a large prime, you might win money.

Here is my wonderful contribution. Two to the power of 25,434,809 minus one is not a prime number because it is divisible by the number 61,040,568,406,221,345,529,803,161,383,259,089. Took a month to discover that. Yep, I'm a hero.
