Pythagoras (or one of his students) is said to have discovered irrational numbers (see definitions, below). The way this was done, was to show that the square root of 2 could not be expressed as any whole fraction m/n. The story is that they kept this fact a secret, as it was too dangerous.

Irrational numbers are numbers that are not rational; that is, they cannot be represented in the form a/b where a and b are integers. Around 500 B.C., Hippasus of Metapontum showed that 2 is irrational. Pythagoras likely discovered this fact earlier, but kept it secret.

“Unlike previous large numbers like the Googleplex or the Bazillionty, It moves freely across Cartesian dimensions and has the power to make any other number irrational.” Xiao said the team discovered the number with the help of an international network of 24 nitrogen-cooled Cray Ultracluster supercomputers,

One no longer needs to take a cue from fiction, one has become (or discovered one's own) fiction. A confounding repetition almost Beckettian in the precision of its jetlagged hysteresis, one whose resolution is not advanced a jot by the writer's obsessive recitation of precise dates and room numbers:
