9 Numbers That Are Cooler Than Pi—“Beelphegor’s” Prime Number
Live Science ^ | March 14, 2019 | Live Science Staff

Posted on 04/25/2019 1:08:22 PM PDT by Swordmaker

Belphegor's prime number

Belphegor's prime number is a palindromic prime number with a 666 hiding between 13 zeros and a 1 on either side. The ominous number can be abbreviated as 1 0(13) 666 0(13) 1, where the (13) denotes the number of zeros between the 1 and 666.

Although he didn't "discover" the number, scientist and author Cliff Pickover made the sinister-feeling number famous when he named it after Belphegor (or Beelphegor), one of the seven demon princes of hell.

The number apparently even has its own devilish symbol, which looks like an upside-down symbol for pi. According to Pickover's website, the symbol is derived from a glyph in the mysterious Voynich manuscript, an early 15th-century compilation of illustrations and text that no one seems to understand.

Which explains why a bullet goes further when humidity is high.

I drive people nuts by telling them things that go against "common sense" like "humid air is lighter and thinner than dry air" and "blue is hotter than red".

Well done!

Avogadro's number also explains why an Aircraft's takeoff distance is longer in high humidity.

You would be shocked at how many pilots get this wrong.

It’s like people who using Bible counting, using every 5th letter or whatever.

In this case, it's every 4th letter, which are also the last letters of each word:

Gen 41.45. And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-Paaneah [שם יוסף צפנת פענח]; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On; And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt:

The name means cipher-decipher. The letters in red spell mafte'ach [מפתח], a key. If you want to decipher mysteries and find the secrets of the universe, you need to locate the key first off. The irony here is that everyone says, "Don't go hiding your key under the doormat; it's the first place a thief will look!"

Apparently not. The stuff that just sits there. Joseph was da man.

The word also spells "developer", same as we use the term in English for a film developer, software developer, or a real estate developer.

A developer is the one with a vision (dream) in his head, along with the skillsets to put it all together to make that reality happen. A seer so to speak - a see-er, one who sees.

Take "MAGA", for example. It's so simple, yet President Trump is hated for that dream. Ditto for those who have the same vision in their heads. They might have their cars keyed because of it, or worse. Just because somebody is in possession of a key, doesn't mean he will use it properly.

A film developer is the one who takes a negative and turns it into a positive.

“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.” (Proverbs 25:2)

God implored people to be observant, yet most won't even look under the doormat. Locked out!

They tested it with Moby Dick and got the same results.

There's a bridge for sale. Maybe you've heard of it! :)

Is there a problem in that sequence?

I see one! ;)

Hieronymus, I don’t think you’ve cited info that would suggest anything other than chance in there being six letters in each of RWR’s given names.

There’s no generally-known evidence his dad Jack was ever member of a secret society by the time Ron was born. If Jack had been on the police force or more well-to-do, we might think differently.

His mother’s affiliation with the Disciples of Christ suggests she would have been attuned to and would likely have quickly turned away from anyone associated with a secret society, as many among the Disciples know of the ultimate involvement of non-Christian entities being worshiped among, for example, Masons.

For what it’s worth, I spent several years in Dixon, IL, where Reagan grew up. I knew people there from among the Disciples of Christ church and had an office in 1980 in the same building Reagan used for his Hometown/County Presidential Campaign Headquarters.

By contrast, there is evidence Barry’s birth date was contrived and that those involved in his life were heavily into secret societies.

Barry certainly has the most bizarre “history”.

How can it take 3 years to produce a LFBC?

A pResident should be able to get one in 24 hours or less.

Unless, one had to be doctored and checked out first...

This is no exaggeration -— I was probably 12 years old before I could remember my exact birth date. My birth year ended in a 1, and my birth day was a 2, and I could NOT keep it straight. I still have trouble getting my ss number straight. It’s crazy. I’ve shown up at weddings on the wrong date, because I absolutely KNEW I remembered the date correctly, but I hadn’t. It’s maddening. I’m no good at navigating, either. I could write a story or an essay with making few, if any revisions, but I have to check my cheat book to get my younger son’s birthday on the right day. I passed the mathematics portion of my nursing school entrance exam, by taking the advice of someone who told me to go to the back of the test booklet and attempt to do some of the trigonometry problems, because you get points for making an attempt. My daily chemistry quizzes were always duds, because I’d put the decimal points in the wrong places. I studied my butt off and prayed to God, and got the highest grade in my class on my (multiple choice) chemistry final. If he hadn’t watched me take it as I say right in front of him, my instructor probably would have thought I cheated.

I used Avogadro’s number in high school chemistry project. Never will forget it.

Thanks for the memory.

During new Hawai'i Governor Abercrombie's campaign for office he had famously claimed to have been friends with and to have partied with President Obama’s mother and father and the happy child who eventually became President. (Subsequent information about Obama’s ostensible parents’ personal lives has eroded that story significantly.)

Upon taking office in December of 2010, the freshly-minted Hawai’i Governor set about with his "All Areas Access Pass" to getting the so-called “malicious” and “distracting” “birther issue” resolved. He had spent months during his campaign committing that he would get to the bottom of the birth certificate question, which many had attributed in part to his electoral success. He spent a lot of time during his first several weeks unsuccessfully trying to locate Obama’s birth certificate. After looking behind all the desks at the Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH) and emptying all the waste baskets and even reportedly arming himself with search warrants, the governor famously told friends that it just wasn’t to be found anywhere among the Hawai’i government records. All this, well, despite the immediate past HDOH Director having twice officially attested that she had personally found and inspected Obama’s original birth record, and that on at least one occasion she described taking with her the state official then in charge of vital records so that person could also view it and attest to its existence. Note well, that former Director said Obama’s original birth record was half written and half typed. (Except for signatures, the Long Form Birth Certificate (LFBC) Obama would later present was entirely typed.) In any event, it’s a mystery why neither the vital records official nor the former Director, who is a 38-year Hawai’i resident and practicing medical doctor in Honolulu, could step forward to help the governor in his grail quest to find what the previous Director surely must have left in a limited-access, safe-and-secure place at the HDOH, as she had left the Director’s office only a month earlier.

Immediately after Loretta Fuddy entered office, like any good Mom whose kid can’t find their sock, she methodically started the search right back at the beginning. She did some straightening up and sorting out their jumbled offices and certificate registry books and voilà! She was able to locate President Obama's LFBC, watch it be copied, then hand off two copies of it to Obama’s Perkins Coie personal attorney, whose company’s headquarters—coincidentally the same company through which the Democratic National Committee also funneled money to Fusion GPS for the infamous Trump dossier—is just across the lake from Loretta’s old digs in Bellevue (where the CIA’s west coast office is also conveniently located).

It was probably his COLB, was it not, not the LFBC?

In any case, the Hollywood Reporter said he was old buddies with NA - then said there is NO Obamb birth certificate.

Later on, he denied making this claim - even when old clips of him saying it were played back to him.

I suppose something happened in between his first report and his later denial.

Nope. It can be proven in real analysis that 0.9999999...=1. It is customary to use decimal representations with infinitely repeating zeros rather than infinitely repeating nines, but the two are equal. 1=1.0000... - hence infinitely repeating zeroes rather than the equivalent 0.999999....

There’s a video on YT that explains how Pi can be calculated by anyone with an Excel spreadsheet. It’s called Pi Hiding in Prime Regularity.

Something like 1+1/1+1/2-1/3+1/5-1/7+1/11-1/13 etc. Alternative signs, and divisors that are incremental primes. This converges on Pi, so Pi is an expression of prime series. YouTube has some mind blowing number theory videos.

How can it take 3 years to produce a LFBC?

Barry lives by the axiom of "leading from behind", a double entendre that conveniently allows him to think he doesn't have to be particularly proactive and ahead-of-the-curve to accomplish what's needed: Social Security inconsistencies, Selective Service Application, LFBC, unpleasant dearth of photographs from the past that would accompany a savory, electable life, gay lovers in Chicago that have turned inconvenient, State legislature papers, etc.

Frankly, what he counts on is his handler's clean up crew to wash the bed linens and do cover-ups for him.

In another slant on things, he likes the phrase because he considers himself in charge sexually, so much that he's incorporated these things into his very signature:

hiding with a wink and a smile...

There were times he was certainly “in your face” about stuff.

Jaw-dropping. And still many couldn’t see it.

I remember him omitting “God” in at least a couple of speeches. And I avoided most of what he said so perhaps there were more.

I knew of a woman who lived one street over and two blocks down with that number. 867 is a local prefix where we lived (our number was also an 867-). She was harassed continually. It was cases like hers that prompted the 555 ruling, as I recall.

Or, if you were a pre-Excel math nerd, you might memorize a good chunk of it:
