Hello, I am a professor of mathematics and I am here to tell you that there is nothing at all to this 23 business. Though the mysticism surrounding this theory dates back as far as 1013, in the writings of the Abbott of Durrow upon Essex, these ideals were firmly put down in the extensive exploration of mystical numbers in the voluminous works of Aldus Linnaeus Carolus III in 1593 after five years of exhaustive study. Published in seventeen chapters in five subsections in a single volume, the number 23 phenomenon was dealt with in at least three different places in two of the chapters. In chapter three, paragraph seven, he begins a long diatribe on the relative occurrence of twos, threes and fives and various combinations thereof in comparison to three other numbers, randomly chosen, and their relative combinations. Using the historical records kept by the Rector of Westminster Abbey of a period of one hundred years prior to the publishing date of the book he combined numbers found in significant dates using multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, as well as exponents and squares to determine whether or not there was a preponderance of occurrences of the 23 set over the control set. After finding no special occurrences he repeated the experiment with four more sets, checking his computations two times.

The conclusion was that there was no significance to the number 23 at all. Aldus found it interesting that the more intriguing irrational numbers that were found to be constants in geometry and nature, such pi and phi (consider many later constants used in physics) were largely overlooked in the various mystical numbers revered.

Aldus held the position of Master of Mathematics at Trinity College for 46 years. His findings were controversial and ultimately divided the department in half.

Further studies into the occult of numerology also proved fruitless from any mathematical or scientific standpoint. However, the occult in general became quite fashionable amongst the aristocracy of Europe in the 19th century. Though many books were written on the subject in the last four decades of the nineteenth century, about two thirds of the books reviewed contained no scientific data whatsoever. Of the books that tried to provide scientific backing for claims of extra-ordinary numbers, none came close to making a compelling argument that any set of numbers had any greater importance in physics, math, or history than any other, as compared to a control set of randomly chosen numbers (Jenson 1904). Growth patterns in nature did show a generalized relationship to phi, one half plus the square root of 5 divided by 2 (or 1.618), however it was not locally true, in that any precise measurement of an organic material would give you an incorrect answer for phi-- it was seen as an ideal state of growth, first by the Greeks.

A fundamental tenet of discordianism holds true however: if you look for it, you will find it. However, according to studies referenced, one could say the same about any set of numbers chosen. The other conclusion arrived at through this study is the fact that if you can think of it, it can become a religion.

Hmmm....
Third paragraph: "Aldus held the position of Master of Mathematics at Trinity College for 46 years. His findings were controversial and ultimately divided the department in half. "

Take "46 years" and "divided...in half"
Half of 46 is 23.

Don't look like such a big shot now, do ya?

You're only seeing it because you're obsessing over it. I have a friend who obsessed over the number 69, and now he sees it everywhere. It's mildly entertaining to watch him flip out.

Numerically my enigma happens to be 11. But then again, the first four numbers of the Fibanachi Sequence are: 1,1,2,3. Ahhh. I agree to some extent that something appears the more you try to find it, but sometimes it is just interesting when it is there when you aren't looking. By saying I have 11 letters in my name is because I found a way to make 11 by omitting my middle name unless my number was 17 then I would have included it. Although looking down and finding 11 cents on the ground might be more sinister than we believe. Anyways, it is a preoccupation as a result of the mind control from the robots to make us more docile for when they take over. Oh no, they have found me out. I must escape before

If people subconsciously want to find the number 23 in everything, they will. Like the whole 11:11 theory.

Psalms, the longest book of the Bible, is the 23rd book of the Old Testament, and the famous "Divine Shepherd" psalm is Psalm 23. Those repeating this popular claim overlook that it is only true in a handful of very specific modern Catholic translations. The famous psalm is actually number 22 in the Septuagint and traditional Catholic Bibles, while the books of the Old Testament appear in several different orders; Psalms is number 23 only in modern Catholic Bibles, being book 21 in the traditional Vulgate, book 26 in the Greek Orthodox Bible, book 19 in most Protestant Bibles, and book 14 in the Jewish Tanakh. It is therefore completely false for the Vulgate (chapter 22 of book 21), and only partly true for the King James Version (chapter 23 of book 19).
December 23, 2012 is the date on which the Mayan calendar ends, predicting an apocalyptic event.

The list goes on and on.
They say that once you reasearch heavily into the 23 mystery, they say that the number starts appearing in your life everywhere. You become obessed, paranoid, it comes after you. It...haunts you. I am living proof. Heres my diary of how the number 23, is coming after me. It can mean many things, patterns, messages, clues to future events, many things. In theory anyway. Heres my diary:

11/19/06

This was the day I watched the trailer for the upcoming film "The Number 23". Intrigued, I went to the website, and researched it. I believe that it is not coincidence...its something...else. It must mean something...but what? And what does it mean to me? On the "Saw 3" website, on the messageboards, I`ve been making this saw story called "Saw 4 Rebirth RPG". On page 20 of it, I made a password for the plot. In it is the number 23.

11/20/06

I own the Saw 2 Uncut DVD. On the special features there is game you can play. Once you get through it you get to a safe, the number to the safe is 7293. You know what number is in it.

11/21/06

A white kid in my 2nd hr said his birthday was on the 23rd of some month, don`t remember month. Werid. Then in 4th hour my US History teacher said shes been working at my school for 23 years! Werid. Whys it keep from appearing?! This number... Then, near the end of 4th hr, coming from the bathroom, I passed a combination lock that had the numbers 23 fixed into it. Plus, 11/23/06 is coming up! Thanksgiving! Am sooooo f***ing creeped out! Then after school, standing at the light by mcdonalds, when I was just about to talk more about the 23 thing with my cousin, i looked over at the sign for armstrong, and the number 23 was on it! What does...it mean? Can i somehow firgure what 23 means? But how?! I`ve come to realize that you don`t look for the 23...it comes for you unexpectedly.

stay tuned....by the way, what u think? Any believers of this, cause if so, me and you need to talk!


your not going to kill some girl and then forget....are you?

I just watched the Jim Carrey movie "The Number 23" last night. Pretty interesting but I believe everything is only a coincidence. If everything is directly connected to the number "23" then I might believe it. The problem is you have still have to do permutations which is actually up to one's interpretation. Besides, there has been some error in the examples you presented.
Chrono Matsumari
I MUST POST THIS!!!!!

check this out:

I am a wiccan, and the second person to post, so far, that i am pissed about the fact that ppl keep messing up the Witch's Sabbat date. Thank you person for clearing it up before I could. for others, I think you would enjoy something else...

the person to first post the correction about the incorrect Witch's Sabbat date, this is their post info(you can check if you don't believe me, "posts" might have changed by then, but i copied ctrl+C when i fist saw it then immeadiately posted this reply):

Post #46 (I'm second to get pissed, this person saw it 2 times! 46th post divided by 2 = 23, also the same number of posts at the time of this post...creepy...)


Alien Embryo (A=1 L=12 I=9 E=5 N=14 E=5 M=13 B=2 R=18 Y=25 O=15, strike all 2's and 3's, and add up these numbers using a hex calculator. u get 5C, switch to Decimal, it is 92. well, the altered[yes, altered] name is 92, minus the post number from this thread and minus again the number of posts... 23...(or still using the hex calc, add those without striking out the 2's and 3's and u get A1, divided by the number of letters in the name - 11[hex is B] so A1/B = E, A.E., or Alien Embryo - I thought that was cool...)

"Okay, this is the second time I've read that the Witches' Sabbath is June 23. NOOOOO! ONE of the EIGHT Witches' Sabbaths is in June, the Summer Solstice, which is the first day of Summer. This year it was June 21! It changes from year to year. It has nothing to do with the number 23."

Yeah, I know this too, but your post sure has alot to do with this subject!! I'm just being a A**H***, and The Number 23 Enigma is just that, an Enigma!

enigma
A noun
1 mystery, secret, closed book

something that baffles understanding and cannot be explained; "how it got out is a mystery"; "it remains one of nature's secrets"

Basically, you would have to work with those numbers to get what you are looking for. while I was doing it, I found connections on every line that has a relation to the number 11...another person posted something about that...But it has no supernatural Meaning, only a phenomena that occurs upon human mathematical intervention. However, I will leave you hanging with these last two paragraphs:

My screen name, Chrono Matsumari, I use just about everywhere (internet, coven, text signature, etc.). to my knowledge I am the only one who uses it, the name was created by me too many years ago, it has not been changed...Chrono Matsumari, 2 words, 15 letters.
3+8+18+15+14+15+13+1+20+19+21+13+1+18+9=188; spaced out: 3+8+1+8+1+5+1+4+1+5+1+3+1+2+0+1+9+2+1+1+3+1+1+8+9=80; 188, 1+8+8=17; 8+0=8, 17+8=25, 25-2(two words)=23... My Legal first name is Bobby. B+O+B+B+Y --- 2+15+2+2+25=46, 46 divided by... I know what you are thinking, "he's gonna use the number 2 for his first and last name" or "he's gonna say 2 because he uses two different names" or whatever... but its much more meaningful to me than that. It could be because I'm a Jr. which makes me the second Bob in the family, I'm the second member to join the military at 18 years old in my family(others went at 21-26), I'm the second in my family to come out of a war unscathed and without injury(I've been discharged for narcolepsy, so I won't be going be back for sure), which also means I'm also the second in my family to not recieve a purple heart, Im the Second in my family to be diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, and I'm the second in my family that went to Job Corps for Culinay Arts... I am going to divide 46 by 2 because of all of this, and because I am the second born son in my generation, of 4. Born July 18, 1988...would you like me to use that too? 7+18=25, second born, 2 weeks after the 4th of July, and wouldn't you know it, the second one in my family to receive my name and become a Jr.. My dad was also second born.

My favorite number is two. the number 23 can't drive me nearly as nuts as the number 2 could. My best friend is the second born in his family too. He was born in february, second month, 1988. His dad was in the Navy for 26 years, My dad for 30 years. my mother went to school with his dad, mom, and aunt. what really brings us close, however, is the fact that we were both born in Norfolk, VA, The same Navy Hostpital, the same Colonel Martin R. Shanks delivered us 6 months apart, therefore, same floor (ER/ICU), and same shift (late night-early morning). We never met each other until we were 14 years old, in the ninth grade. We discovered this when we left for Job Corps. We compared our birth certificates, later we asked our parents who delivered each of us, and what times. turns out we should have started hanging out 14 years earlier. But in spite of everything I posted, I am now tired, having stayed up for only 16 hours, being 730AM now. good morning! (I can't say goodnight, because the sun is up, you numbskull!) peace, ciao, hooah, Oorah, mahalo, and Blessed be. and goodnight to the Russians!

This is real!
My name is Max.
M = 13
A = 1
X = 24

24-1=23
13+10(The number of letters in my last name)=23

I was born on December 11.
12+11=23

My best friend is Ben.
B = 2
E = 5
N = 14

2^2+5+14 = 23

He was born on January 23, 1993
1 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 3 = 23

And that's just a small amout of what I've seen.

*sigh* I was searching up this 23 enigma today to explain the whole thing and some events that link to the number 23 and I came across this thread. After reading most of it I had to dig this old thread up just to point out Max is a moron.

Best friends name is ben, and if you add an extra 2 into the equation it equals 23? Now thats just being desperate for seeing 23. Your like religious nuts, make something out of nothing and bend it and twist it till it fits what your looking for.

The 23 enigma is about as pointless as 47. It can infact be manipulated to work with any number, no matter how rediculous and people like you would probably start a cult about it. I should make a movie about the number 89 and you guys would eat it up. The number 23 appears in alot of things because we use numbers everyday, and if it wasnt the number 23 it'd be 14 or even 10 or any number for that matter, I cant go a day without seeing the number 15 does that mean that theres something mysterious behind it? no, it just means your a naive moron who's life is so boring you need to buy into crap like this.

Also your name, 24-1=23
lol well there is 10 letters in "your a moron" add 13, and that equals 23! OMG, there is something magical behind your stupidity, i knew it wasnt natural.

Go watch a disney movie, you might find better spiritual guidance in one of them then looking at your mothers 23 dirty panties you like sniffing before you go to bed.

I can relate the number 4 to anything if i want to bad enough, its everywhere.

i live at 4 in my street, my keyboard has 2 4's on it, theres 4 written on a timesheet on my wall, the calander has 4 on it, my fax has 4 on it, my phone has 4 on it, theres 4 phone books in the office, 4 draws in the filing cabinet, 4 spindles of cd's, 4 photos of family, the lisence plate on the car in the photo on my calender is LFX 4, I can do it with 3 aswell if you like? or how about 7.
