Mersenne Eras

These are log₂ exponents

0-5 Mersenne/Euler
5-10 Lucas/Lehmer
10-15 Various with computers
15-20 Slowinsky and his Crays
20-25 GIMPS

The time scale is frightening.
Apocalypse/Armageddon now or is Global Warming a fiction?

I think that maybe frivolous searches like this will be outlawed because of global warming.
