Question

and do you think it is coincidence?
what is your experiance with this number

Answer 1

It is just a number.

Answer 2

The "23 Enigma" refers to the belief that all incidents and events are directly connected to the number 23, some permutation of the number 23, or a number related to the number 23, given enough ingenuity on the part of the interpreter.

Like other numbers that have long been linked to unusual coincidences, 13 and 17 also being favorites, the 23 Enigma can be seen as no more than an example of apophenia. Skeptics point out the fact that 23, being a fairly low number, occurs often in the media, current events, and daily life, concluding that it appears probably no more often in conjunction with catastrophe or coincidence than 22 or 24. In interviews, Wilson has acknowledged the self-fulfilling nature of the 23 enigma, implying that the real value of the Laws of Fives and Twenty-threes lies in their demonstration of the mind's power to perceive "truth" in nearly anything.

As a number with which to associate things, 23 has several helpful properties. It is a prime number, and therefore more likely to be associated with coincidences because events associated with composite numbers would be divided by a factor to arrive at it or some other prime. In addition, it enjoys the boon of having the two lowest primes as digits; 2 and 3 are small and therefore can be included in complex calculations that arrive at numbers only remotely related, which can then become coincidental with significant events. Two and three are also the most frequent factors (excluding 1) of a given range of whole numbers. 23 less the numeric base is 13, which has many phobias attached to it.

Answer 3

Throughout history, the number 23 has had mystical significance., as its the Pentagram: 2 & 3 points. This number appears too frequently for it to be a co-incidence. 23 has an energy field that is resonating all around us. Also 2+3=5, in binary: '101'which is another number you see everywhere. The human body consists of 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent. Geometry is based on 23 natural laws. There are many examples that describe the power of this number. However, many believe that the number is cursed with dark and evil properties. I believe that It means something if you empower it to by believing that it has some mystical power over you. The way you use it is the key to understand it.

Answer 4

People look for order in everything, trying to justify an account of coincidences, the paranormal, all of that, when there are none.

All I know about the number 23 is that it is an ordinary number, like the other infinte numbers in the universe.

Answer 5

Are you familiar with mystical significance of the number 23? In the year 1994 which when added equals 23 there are quite a few occurrences of this number related to world events:


3/23/94 assassination of Mexican president
5/23/94 burial of Jackie o
7/23/94 death of Michael Jordan #23 father in n.c.
OJ Simpson jersey number 32



I can go on I have been keeping a file on this phenomenon. I believe it has to do with the second coming, for in Egyptian numerology the 2+3 or 5 is the sign of the return of the great initiate or messiah. In Hebrew mysticism the 2 is the wisdom of the Most High and the 3 is the understanding . I have been able to peek behind the veil and find these numbers the 1 2 3 9 in major world wide events
