The pope claimed that the internet is a gift from God.

The goal is to reduce it to a single digit.

18. You broke it down to 10 + 8 (though it could also be 9 + 9 or 11 + 7 etc).

10 plus 8 = 18 but then 1 + 8 = 9.

If it was 11 + 7 you'd still get 9.

My birthdate reduces to the number 9.

02/02/1976 = 2 + 2 = 4 + 1 = 5 + 9 = 14 + 7 = 21 + 6 = 27

27 reduced: 2 + 7 = 9

I could add the numbers in any configuration, I'm still going to end up with the number 9.

1,976 plus 4 = 1,980. 9 + 8 = 17 + 1 = 18. 1 + 8 = 9

Here's a random date: 07/24/1983 (7)

1983 + 7 = 1990 + 24 = 2014 = 7

Here's another random date: 12/19/1962 (4)

12: 1 + 2 = 3
19: 1 + 9 = 10 = 1
1962 = 9
3 + 1 = 4 + 9 = 13 = 4

9 is magical. And Holy. I think Divine God, John Lennon, sang something about the number 9. I'm not sure about that, though. I worship Thom Yorke and Radiohead (they're fleshy Gods).

Here's some crazy stuff:

Here it is:

Throughout his life John Lennon was obsessed with the number nine.

 

Still not drawing any significance from this.. any further explanations as to how this represents eternity? I kind of get why, cos it's pretty neat when you think about it, but umm.. I just don't know..

I get that math is more of a language, and therefore describes something.. but it has it's rules..
18 isn't 1 and 8, as Acek said.. it's 10 and 8. If it did all of it's funky shit by obeying those rules of math(the basis of your description) then I'd be happy, but otherwise it makes as much sense as saying "eggs are round because of donkey".
The only reason I'm considering this further is because if you go deep enough, eggs ARE round because of donkey... but fuck, this 9 thing just smells funny to me.

Please either enlighten me, or confirm my doubts.


And that bible study link just bugs me.. we created numbers, 9 could only mean judgement because we didn't come up with a single symbol for 10. "10" could be represented as "&". The rest seems like a crock of shit too.

 

The symbol "A" represents "10" in base-16. The numbers mean nothing on their own until you apply them labels but all numbers must obey the rules of mathematics.

Edited to remove confusion

 

Im the friggin pope

 

I've got your number, sir Holy See

 

Again, the goal is to reduce the number to a single digit.

18 is 9 because 1 + 8 = 9.

Everybody knows that 8 represents infinity. What's greater than infinity? Eternity. What number represents Eternity? 9.

69 is a symbol, just like 8 and 9 are. 69 means reverse psychology. Oh, you thought it was a sex act, huh? It hurts, don't touch it...

C'mere, let me make that feel better, have some sunshine :sunny:

Anyway, I forgot what we were talking about. I'm a bit numb in the head right now. Pounding migraine, from number crunching.

 

I still stand by my position that that 69 represents 6 "tens" plus 9 "ones".

 

But math doesn't work that way..

Why would you want to do that besides to make 9 do fun things? where's the logic in doing so?

I did not know this, I know it looks like infinity doing a sit-up.. but that's about it.

This is all very fluffy logic..

 

So you'd flash your eight digits and two thumbs this many times (flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash) then you'd poke your index finger this many times (poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke). like that?

If God is 7, what's the hand sign for that? 5 plus 2. But which two?

Which sex act represents Seven? I don't know, I claim innocence.

I listened to this song but I didn't learn anything.

Didn't know we had chirality in numbers...whether the left hand was used for the 5 and right for the 2 or vice versa it would still represent seven

I see where ur going, and trust me...I've been up and down the meanings in numbers game. But it's not worth it really....if u look for something you will find it anywhere u look.

 

I see it too. You are definitely on to something!

 

Math works in a lot of different ways.

I don't worship logic. I think one must use all faculties of Mind to fully appreciate existence.

But getting back on the point of this thread, the pope claimed that the internet is a gift from God. Numerically speaking, where does 7 (god), 8 (infinity) and 9 (eternity) fit into the equation of the internet, or is it all entirely one's and zero's?

what does 000000000 mean in computer language?
how about 1111111?

 

Behind every digital transmission is a really complicated analog signal.

 

Here's something trippy about mathematics..

I'm only in my 30's but I've known 5 decades. Doesn't add up, right?

70's, 80's, 90's, 00's and 10's. That's 5 decades, but I'm not even 40 years old.

 

That is trippy...I sure there's a way to make those numbers play by the rules, there has to be

 

I've known a few people who communicate with numbers, and it is a crock of shit, as stated here....Firstly, numbers mean different things to different people....and secondandly, the rules of mathematics as we know them do not exist in sub atomical levels....''Also, there are numerologists that try to govern their lives with numbers or teach you how to, like some tarot card reading....that you have control over....Been there....and have seen this world, and all it does is drive me crazy.....too complicated for me and too insidious, at times....

Now, how did we get all the way over on this topic on the Pope thread. LOL

Maybe the people who communicate with numbers are too afraidto communicate simply...???...and this is their underground way.
I have no idea, but that is a guess as to why.

 

Numerology and mathematics are completely fucking different..I'm a mathematics guy myself

 

I dunno, but I think it's my fault. Numbers do mean something, there's always ... 666

you know, sickness & sex sells. or sickness & sex cells.

or you can spell it out:

sicks
sicks
sicks

Wicked sick.

 

I think you're the fucking antichrist

 

No, that would be psychiatry with its magic pills, giving people brain zaps and endless trips to the psych ward. Didja take your meds todaaay?

god, they're so evil.
