Blog Post #9- Pythagoras brotherhood, Numbers and language

Brothers of Pythagoras of Samos

While there were many Pythagoras there was only one Pythagoras of Samos.
While there were many Jesus there was only one Jesus of Nazareth ( from the house of David. What happened in Bethlehem and why is Jerusalem important will be covered in the future. Also why is Jerusalem important for Muslims will also be covered. Also why is Jerusalem important to Jews will be covered .. oh my god everyone loves to be in Jerusalem no wonder!)

Back to Greeks (let us skip the Romans for now. Rome was built in the night not in a day anyways!!!)

Anyone could join Pythagoras brotherhood. Pythagoras will give twice the wealth you gave him and you promise not to tell anything about any of the research in the brotherhood.  Since Pythagoras was protected by King Minos and also let Pythagoras marry his daughter. Pythogoras brotherhood included her - a sister for others.. sisterhood or brotherhood or both?

Centuries later we came to know the brotherhood's obsession about numbers. They liked perfect numbers .

Perfect number 6 and 28.

6  Divisors 1,2 and 3. 1+2+3 = 6

God created world in 6 days. Rested on 7 . Because number 6 is perfect.

28. Number of days required for moon to go around earth.Big deal. Menstrual cycle for woman which is critical to maintain hum an race on earth. Big deal!.

So what about 26? One of the few numbers between a square (5 square = 25) and a cube  ( 3 cube = 27).

Studying numbers doesn't provide a practical value. But it fascinates people .  I am glancing through a book now called 'play at work' and you will be surprised that collectively we spend 5 million hours a day on Angry bird. Now wonder the birds are angry!

Gamification is as useless as studying the numbers.

Humans created 2 different intelligence encoding strategy. Language and Math.

If you cant read you wont know anything. If you dont know math you may not understand much.

It took religion to represent zero. Shiva means nothing. Nothing means Shivan.
Shivam - Shunyam.

When you take this concept back to the math we get this interesting representation from language to math.
Where it gets interesting is all numbers we use are arabic except 0.
Between Hindu-arabic numbers we are covered. Base 10 - numbers 0 to 9 capable of representing all numbers of earth is a earth shattering (it never shattered any earth unless there was an earth quake) phenomenon. Think!!!

If you dont want to think then try multiplying XXCCVV times IVX and tell me the answer. Once you finish that without using google translate the following greek quote
Τα πάντα ρεί
