Random fun fact: The Bible opens with "In the beginning...", and the word sum (a=1, z=26) of that phrase is 137.

137 is also the 33rd prime number. And 33 has its own host of significances.

Numerology is a crock. Although ...

the Hebrew phrase for "Donald J. Trump, the Evil King" (דונאלד י טרמף המלך העוון) equals 666. The math breaks down letter-by-letter as follows, with Phrase Segment followed by Hebrew Letters & Values followed by the Segment Total,. The Segment Totals sum to the Grand Total, which is the number of POTUS Trump.

Donald

ד (4) + ו (6) + נ (50) + א (1) + ל (30) + ד (4)

95

J.

י (10)

10

Trump

ט (9) + ר (200) + מ (40) + ף (80)

329

The King (HaMelech)

ה (5) + מ (40) + ל (30) + ך (20)

95

The Evil (HaAvon)

ה (5) + ע (70) + ו (6) + ו (6) + ן (50)

137

GRAND TOTAL

95 + 10 + 329 + 95 + 137

666

Perhaps The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Gallaxy was right that the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything is a number, but it was 137 not 42?

Dear John,

This is just fantastic. Thank you for bringing this into our awarewness.

The reason the number ties these together is simple. The reality system is (like the Matrix) a computer. The frequency of the bus is given by Plancks constant and the pixel size and definition of Mass is the hydrogen atom. The speed of light is a constant because that is defined by the system frequency, the speed one pixel can replace the previous inhabitant pixel of that event space. The Planck equation, E = hnu can be inverted to give nu = E/h which means that time is quantized, not energy. If time is quantized, everything is connected by the instant the system moves from one state to the next. Hence all the quantum effects. Nothing can exist between the sequential event states. If you put SIMS scientists into the SIMS game, they would find the speed of light is constant, but a slower sped of light given by the clock speed of the hardware.

Thank you! The system can be rationally described, but what remains mysterious is why nature picked the number that seems completely random. Feynman also found it perfectly mysterious.

Oh, that is so simple?
