The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.

Question:  What is the significance of the number 137 in physics.

Answer:  http://www.physlink.com/education/askexperts/ae186.cfm

I didn't understand a word of it, but I'm sure it was very illuminating.

Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

Also, could someone fix the thread title by adding an 'h' to "tread"? Whatever, I can live with it.

Means "I Love You."
One letter in I,
Four in Love,
and three in You.

(A bit arbitrary, as there are also 4 letters in tons of other words including hate, want, need, bore, etc... but I thought it was cute.)

the magical number representing 12 members of each of the 12 tribes of Israel.  or something like that...


also the largest Fibonacci number to also be a square.  And interestingly enough, its root, 12, is also its index in the Fibonacci Sequence.

It's also a 'gross' as a measure.
