george Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 11/11/11 – a date with a special meaning? Significance of 11/11/11 Based on past calendar dates such as 10/10/10, or October 10, 2010, no significant or unusual phenomenon occurs simply because of a date that has the same numbers in a sequence. The numerical sequence of November 11 holds a special significance in the binary numeral system, which is the base-2 number system that represents numeric values using two symbols, 0 and 1. The date of November 11 has a binary number of 111110 where it has a decimal equivalent of 62 in the year 2010, and a binary number of 111111 with a decimal equivalent of 63 in the year 2011. The number eleven has a special characteristic in mathematics where it is the sixth prime number. It contains some interesting peculiarities where the number eleven times itself equals a palindrome: (2 digits) 11 x 11 = 121 (6 digits) 111111 x 111111 = 12345654321 (9 digits) 111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelmann Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Do you think a dog places any meaning on this? NO, its a purely man made phenomenen in fact they could have started counting a miilon days earlier/later, but dumb suckers will always put some credence in numbers like this having "special meaning" Should mean nothing to Thais already on a different system as well as the Chinese.

bifftastic Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 The numbers have a significance, mathematically as George posted above, but the fact that they're used in conjunction with today, has no significance whatsoever. It's just a day like any other day. The numbers are just one way some of us have decided to count them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrChopper Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Remembrance Day? Ah some sense at last. It means something to me with 2 Grandfathers who went through the living hell of war and one who lost a brother. It means something to everyone who was friends and family in Afghanistan right now. It should mean something to the younger generation, but it seems they are two busy selling crack and stabbing each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezcal Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 It's not so much about the date, but the number. In numerology the 11 is considered a master number (as are 22 and 33) and signifies spiritual enlightenment. More here http://www.numerology.com/numerology-numbers/11-master-number It's easy to ridicule things we don't know about or don't understand, but a true rational mind, which many claim to have, should at least be open to consider other explanations and new possibilities. If you don't explore them, then you base your opinion on insufficient and/or erroneous data and your opinion becomes a BELIEF, the exact thing you try so desperately to escape from. I know this post will attract the crusaders of science and the defenders of the rational mind. Come on, let's burn the witch! 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bifftastic Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I would like to understand how a method of counting days, one that isn't universally used, has a connection to anything other than...well, a way of counting days! I don't have a closed mind to spiritual ideas, but I really would like to know how the two things are supposed to be connected. Who decided when to start counting? What counting system was used before the one that most people use now? Why would a particular counting system have more spiritual significance than another when, presumably, it was invented by people to, well....count! And what would the date be now if we hadn't adopted the current counting system? Would that date have a spiritual significance too? Up to now, I have believed that we use these counting systems so that we can agree on things to do with time, as in, 'we'll all do such and such at the same time tomorrow' or 'when was it that we did so and so?' I am, however, ready to learn how this method of accounting for time connects to our spiritual consciousness which, presumably, pre-dates our scientific abilities. What would be important to establish is who set the 'zero' for the start of the current calendar. I am led to believe that it was decided in the 6th century AD (without access to anything more accurate than looking up in the sky for a while) and was reformed in 1582, but not by everyone. So, it wasn't accurate, some days tended to 'slip' year by year, it has been changed and tinkered with over the years, so it would be surprising if it were nothing more than what I (still) believe it to be, a system of measurement not connected to anything other than itself. Is it possible that people just assume that the date is, somehow, not of human design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
