The number 23.

Most people I have found believe that the number 23 and the so called "conspiracies" that surround it, are all in ones mind. And I agree to that in some degree. But how can something that can reoccur so commonly be just disreguarded as being in ones head, or just a coincidence. Any thoughts ?

the number 23 is a very interesting concept.i believe that all of the "coincidences" are just in peoples heads.things like that are usually only seen when people are looking for them.if i wanted to im sure i could find just as many references to the number 17, or even 69.its just a number.i have heard people say that it is like the number of the devil.that is why we become obsessed with it.
2 / 3 = .666
but, technically, 2 divided by 3 equals .666666......(repeating).i try to explain that,but everyone knows you cannot reason with closed-minded assholes.
the number 23 is not something to obsess over.it is just an interesting concept,like i said.

just a side note:
when i went to see the movie with my parents,the total cost was a little over $23. i cant remember the cents. like $23.04 i think.i just thought that was funny

lol. Precisely. I liked to play devils advocate though; just for a moment.

I think there probably some numbers that have significance. The number of pi, or 0.61 (I think) being a number often found in nature (such as the ratio of hand length to forearm). Constants like this underlie fundamental rules or laws of nature, which is something all great scientists must have believed in.

To call them divine is a step too far. Much like pythagoras' theory is just a law; there is no need to worship the triangle.

ever notice most of the time you walk down the street you live on, nothing happens...?

weird huh..?

weird.

there are entire codes built into the qu'ran based on the number 17...

there are religons based on 19

there are codes around 28

basically the entire number system can be codified... that's why codes work...

not the other way around...

as a matter of fact when you take the numbers out of astronomy and astrology they fall apart... that's why they rely so heavily on them... because people trust the numbers inherently...

so to give them a false sense of credibility... inject the numerology...

ha' ha' busted...!

for those that want them to be busted...

not for the TRUE BELIEVERS... or should I say..."twoo beweebers....!".... ga ga goo goo...

not to poke too much fun at it but it is a little immature to expect to much predictability in a macroverse that is mostly unpredictable...

consider this...

on a micro level:

perfection = perfection

and

imperfection = imperfection

then on the macro level where E no longer = m c squared,

perfection = imperfection

and

imperfection = imperfection

so that:

all taken together there is much more imperfection in the universe than perfection... imperfection is the order of the day...

imperfection = perfection by sheer numbers.... ha' ha' ha'... cackles the man in the iron mask...

the number you are refering to JimBobby is Phi.
1.618
Pi is something entirely different.everyone is familiar with Pi.
but that is a whole 'nother topic.
