A little math trivia for starters: 223 is prime, but lives in a so-called "sea" of composite numbers: The next smaller prime is 211 (an impressive twelve units smaller), the next bigger prime is 227. 223 is special in that it is the smallest prime that lives within such a vast sea of non-primes, as an "island prime", so to speak; furthermore, the width of the gap (the "sea") itself is of the nature 2^x (x being 3 in this case), which is also pretty rare. Of course, the bigger primes get, the more likely it is that they are farther apart, so this gets trivial as a property pretty quickly. Oh, well ...
However ...
On this date in 1839, something much more significant for our shared passion happened: L'Académie Française des Sciences (French Academie of Sciences) announced and acknowledged the first photographic process, "la Daguerrotypie" (the daguerrotype) - photography was officially born!
I think we ought to celebrate ...
