 	"If someone created a database of all primes, won't he be
 	 able to use that database to break public-key algorithms?
 	 Yes, but he can't do it. If you could store one gigabyte
 	 of information on a drive weighing one gram, then a list
 	 of just the 512-bit primes would weigh so much that it
 	 would exceed the Chandrasekhar limit and collapse into a
 	 black hole... so you couldn't retrieve the data anyway"
