But but but,

I thought it was 42 , the meaning of life.

i am appalled that no one has cited the " 47 ronin "

5 posts above yours ... by Muzzleflash.

Famous Japanese story "Fourty Seven Ronin", and there are 47 Prefectures in Japan.

Yes Groot ... but that was 5 years ago.

Current fashion says it is now 47.

Is is 5 above 42.

3 sir!

This man I found today does a lot of explaining, I guess, of what all this stuff means. Maybe you will find his videos helpful.

Not random, it's the 47th proposition of Euclid, the famous Pythagorean theorem.

You'll have to ask the Freemasons about that one.

I don't feel like revealing this secret today.

Oh, please do. You discussing Masons is akin to fan fiction.

47th problem of Euclid

Everyone should read this if they wanna learn a few cool things about how this relates to Masonry.

You guys are so welcome! I really love sharing.

That's a very solid explanation.

< heavy sigh > ANY search engine is your friend, not wishy-washy voodoo speculation. It's a math inside joke from Pomona College, where Joe Menosky went to school.

Forty-seven has been the favorite number of Pomona College, California, United States, since 1964. A mathematical proof, written in 1964 by Professor Donald Bentley, supposedly demonstrates that all numbers are equal to 47. However, Bentley offered it as a "joke proof" to further a popular student research project that listed real and imaginative "47 sightings". Bentley used the invalid proof to introduce his students to the concept of mathematical proofs. The proof used limits to show that the sum of the two equal sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the base side. Bentley chose forty-seven as the base side, but he could have used any number.

en.wikipedia.org...(number)

My husband is a huge math nerd, and while not being remotely familiar with Star Trek or it's inside jokes, knows about the 47 joke proof in historical context. Years ago, after he'd explained the point of the proof when I asked him about it, "OK, so then why do people think it's some super secret cult-y s#?" He answered "Because people are stupid. The proof's still out there, but people are too stupid to understand the point of it. Ergo, shady society excuses instead of admitting being idiots." There you have it, math nerd wins.

You and your husband sound like super fun people!
I'd love to hang with you!
There's nothing more arousing (mentally AND sexually) than sneering at plebs with good friends...

47 drove the eminent professor Albert Michelson insane in the astral vortex why should we do any better? what if its responsible for hidden quantum waveguides?

Two things.

The Roswell incident happen in 1947.

And the CIA was created that year as well.

So was the US Air Force, and, actually, so was I.

I was 47years old when this came to me. My rendering of the 2006 ESA image of Cydonia Mars.

Revelation 4:7
The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.

a reply to: ManFromMars
I see 2 lions in that image don't quite see the eagle though.

Hard to see detail with the small size here at ATS.

4 is the letter D and 7 is G

47 = DG which backwards is G-D

We were created in gods image

47 | 74

I'm more curious about 37......that number has been following me around and appearing way beyond coincidence....

It only happens when I'm doing good in life too. Like right now ......

The mythology of 47 goes back much further than that to a clique of friends in high school in Tucson Arizona who hung out at the School District Computer Center in the late 60's and then into the 70's at University of Arizona.

The magic of 47 is legendary. I myself won a block of cheese and a bottle of wine in a random number guessing game at the 2nd West Coast Computer Faire using that number.

The number has so much power that Douglass Adams had to disguise its importance by deflecting the reader's attention from it in his Hitchhiker series.

Be careful.

I noticed this years ago too. The mash 4077 thing backward is 7704 which converts to the letters GG0D

I think some people out there are obsessed with such things. Or maybe to get people to notice and think about GoD
