flyingswan 820 #4 Posted October 9, 2007 According to Wiki, it all started with Illuminatus, that science-fiction source of so many conspiracies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_%28numerology%29 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoulFire 1 #6 Posted October 15, 2007 i just saw the movie "the number 23" this past weekend. it was pretty good, but it's just a movie. i think that if you tried hard enough, you could do it with just about any number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't the point that the movie is based on this whole 23 number thing? It didn't start with the movie... It was already a conspiracy type thing, and the movie is based on that..?

Hazzard 1,517 #13 Posted October 19, 2007 (edited) Numerology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerology Numerology and numerological divination were popular among early mathematicians, such as Pythagoras, but are no longer considered part of mathematics and are regarded as pseudomathematics by most modern scientists. This is similar to the historical development of astronomy out of astrology, and chemistry from alchemy. Edited October 19, 2007 by hazzard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hyperqube714 0 #15 Posted October 24, 2007 yeah, alot of that stuff just gives me headaches watching the gymastics that are performed. calculations can be manipulated in all manner of creative ways. that being said, there is something to be had in synchronicity.
