In their search for patterns, mathematicians have uncovered unlikely connections between prime numbers and quantum physics. Will the subatomic world help reveal the elusive nature of the primes?...
This unexpected connection with physics has given us a glimpse of the mathematics that might, ultimately, reveal the secret of these enigmatic numbers. At first the link seemed rather tenuous. But the important role played by the number 42 has recently persuaded even the deepest skeptics that the subatomic world might hold the key to one of the greatest unsolved problems in mathematics....

Oh shit..it reminds me the climax to Carl Sagans 'Contact', where the instruction book for the multiverse is found encoded in pi.

Contact - great movie.
Another movie along the same lines is Darren Aronofskys' first movie 'Pi' (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138704/) although this deals more with how the search for such a thing can make a man step toward the edge, but isn't that where all great discoveries are made.
