NUMEROLOGY:
Yea BUT, seems like as good a place to raise this as anywhere.:
1 + 1 = 2
2 + 1 = 3
3 + 1 = 4
4 + 1 = 5
5 + 1 = 6
6 + 1 = 7
7 + 1 = 8
8 + 1 = 9
9 + 1 = errrr...... well what does it equal? It equals the next one up but the next one up isn't a number name we use in base ten so we apply a value shift and start again.
so:
9 + 1 = 10! ( what IS 10 ? ).... it's 1 shifted one place to the left to denominate a SET value to continue counting from that set value. That's BASE TEN!
Why do we use base 10?...... dunno but most folk seem to think it's because we have ten fingers.
As soon as anyone starts to "scramble" those numbers across that set base, I completely loose it!.... Can you see why?
It's nonsense to play around with the numbers like that. i.e. taking 87 and adding 8 and 7 to produce another number is utterly rediculous.
The only benefit I've ever derived from witnessing people do such things and take it deadly seriously, is that it has shown me very well how fickle and stupid we all are when we try to understand much higher but simpler knowledge. What chance has the human race got of gaining greater underrstanding when we get trapped in such rediculously daft mind bending twistery as this.
