Luminous Summary
| Two American mathematicians are in Shanghai to secretly run a controversial simulation on the laser computer known as Luminous, the only machine powerful enough to handle the large-number calculations they believe will expose a flaw in the basic rules of mathematics. When simulations are run using integers with values larger than the number of particles in the universe, the equivalent of 2 plus 2 does not equal 4, proving that the fundamental nature of our universe, and the universe represented by theoretical numbers, may be on a collision course for mathematical supremacy.
