The Mysterious 137

If you have ever read Cargo Cult Science by Richard Feynman, you
know that he believed that there were still many things that experts, or
in this case, physicists, did not know. One of these ‘unknowns’ that he
pointed out often to all of his colleagues was the mysterious number
137. This number is the value of the fine-structure constant (the
actual value is one over one-hundred and thirty seven), which is
defined as the charge of the electron (q) squared over the product of
Planck’s constant (h) times the speed of light (c). This number actually
represents the probability that an electron will absorb a photon.

However, this number has more significance in the fact that it relates
three very important domains of physics: electromagnetism in the form
of the charge of the electron, relativity in the form of the speed of light,
and quantum mechanics in the form of Planck’s constant. Since the
early 1900’s, physicists have thought that this number might be at the
heart of a GUT, or Grand Unified Theory, which could relate the
theories of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and most
especially gravity. However, physicists have yet to find any link
between the number 137 and any other physical law in the universe.
It was expected that such an important equation would generate an
important number, like one or pi, but this was not the case. In fact,
about the only thing that the number relates to at all is the room in
which the great physicist Wolfgang Pauli died: room 137. So
whenever you think that science has finally discovered everything it
possibly can, remember Richard Feynman and the number 137.

Dr. Bill Riemers writes: classical physics tells us that electrons
captured by element #137 (as yet undiscovered and unnamed) of the
periodic table will move at the speed of light. The idea is quite simple,
if you don’t use math to explain it. 137 is the odds that an electron will
absorb a single photon. Protons and electrons are bound by
interactions with photons. So when you get 137 protons, you get 137
photons, and you get a 100% chance of absorption. An electron in the
ground state will orbit at the speed of light. This is the electromagnetic
equivalent of a black hole. For gravitational black hole, general
relativity comes to the rescue to prevent planets from orbiting at the
speed of light and beyond. For an electromagnetic black hole, general
relativity comes to the rescue and saves element 137 from having
electrons moving faster than the speed of light. However, even with
general relativity, element 139 would still have electrons moving faster
than light. According to Einstein, this is an impossibility. Thus proving
that we still don’t understand 137…

...There is a most profound and beautiful question associated with
the observed coupling constant, e, the amplitude for a real electron to
emit or absorb a real photon. It is a simple number that has been
experimentally determined to be close to -0.08542455. (My physicist
friends won’t recognize this number, because they like to remember
it as the inverse of its square: about 137.03597 with about an
uncertainty of about 2 in the last decimal place. It has been a mystery
ever since it was discovered more than fifty years ago, and all good
theoretical physicists put this number up on their wall and worry about
it.) Immediately you would like to know where this number for a
coupling comes from: is it related to p or perhaps to the base of
natural logarithms? Nobody knows. It’s one of the greatest damn
mysteries of physics: a magic number that comes to us with no
understanding by man. You might say the “hand of God” wrote that
number, and “we don’t know how He pushed his pencil.” We know
what kind of a dance to do experimentally to measure this number
very accurately, but we don’t know what kind of dance to do on the
computer to make this number come out, without putting it in secretly!

Hmm, “Hand of God” well interestingly enough the gematria of קַבָּלָה is 137!

Kabbalah (Hebrew: קַבָּלָה Qabbālā, literally "reception, tradition") is an
esoteric method, discipline and school of thought in Jewish mysticism.

The Mysterious 137

137 is a pancake number, because a pancake (or circle) can be divided into 137 parts by 16 straight cuts.

Oy! [אוי] 1² + 6² + 10²

= 137

... is it related to pi or perhaps to the base of natural logarithms? Nobody knows. It's one of the greatest damn mysteries of physics: a magic number that comes to us with no understanding by man.

From QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter (1985)

QED stands for quantum electrodynamics, yet...

In mathematics, the tombstone, halmos, end-of-proof, or Q.E.D. symbol "∎" (or "□") is a symbol used to denote the end of a proof, in place of the traditional abbreviation "Q.E.D." for the Latin phrase "quod erat demonstrandum". It is inspired by the typographic practice of end marks, an element that marks the end of an article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tombstone_(typography)

tombstone [מצבה] = 137

(It's given on the first line of its Hebrew wiki page.)

The first place in the Torah where מצבה is used for a tombstone ("pillar"):

Genesis 35:20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.

the gematria of קַבָּלָה is 137! Kabbalah (Hebrew: קַבָּלָה Qabbālā, literally "reception, tradition") ... ...

Looks like a good place to note that "kabbalah" spelled out is:

קוף בית למד הא

As such,

1) the internal letters [ופיתמדא] = 541 = Israel [ישראל]
2) the internal letters permute to dmut [דמות] pi [פאי], the "likeness/figure/character of π", transcendental.

There are other options, but this one pertains to the topic at hand.

Who knows.. "the distinguished number of transcendence".

is it related to pi?
"Difficult question, sir." ~ the same fellow who was famously shocked when he was over at Rick's place.

He designed his own tombstone which reads "All things once, Are things forever, Soul, once living, lives forever".

***

137: kabbalah permutes to a secret code [בקלה] which is located overhead in the state house.

Now you're not gonna find them easy to follow. They're not using normal procedures they're using some kind of code [קוד].
What kind of code?
Well there's words like...

Hub [האב], [האב], [האב], [האב], [האב], [האב]...

💓 💓 💓

Weeell now,

is it related to pi?

To paraphrase Big Joe,

"We've lost two Temples already, I'm not sticking around and losing a third. You understand?"

What does the Torah tell us about Moses? Not that he was a brilliant scholar, but that he was the epitome of humility.
The same is true of Joshua, Moses' successor. As some sources compare Moses to a fish, a nun,⁷ because he was taken out of the water by Pharaoh's daughter, so is Joshua called "ben Nun," the son (disciple) of this great fish (Moses).

Revolutionary.

Israel... *is* reel. 🍿

"∎", or "□"?

Full, or empty? Depends on one's perspective, footnote 2.

Turning things right around 180 is rather helpful, calming, and freeing:

LEI
Symbolism
A lei can be given to someone for a variety of reasons. Most commonly, these reasons include peace, love, honor, or friendship.[2] Common events during which leis may be distributed include graduations, weddings, and school dances.[2] Often the composition of a lei determines its significance. A lei made using a hala fruit, for instance, is said to be connected to love, desire, transition, and change.[3]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lei_(garland)

LEI [ליי]

= 50, "the distinguished number of transcendence"

... because the sequence of π's digits passes statistical tests for randomness, it contains some sequences of digits that may appear non-random, such as a sequence of six consecutive 9s that begins at the 762nd decimal place of the decimal representation of π.[24] This is also called the "Feynman point" in mathematical folklore, after Richard Feynman, although no connection to Feynman is known.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

761 decimal places pass before observers arrive at the location where they might start to strongly suspect that the 'character of pi' (mentioned in the previous post re Israel) is not random. And then for some unknown reason, the place was named after a fine man.

Deu 34
10. And there has not arisen since in Israel a prophet like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face:
11. In all the signs and the wonders, which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land:
12. And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great and awesome deeds which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
[לעיני כל־ישראל] = 761

All [כל], which is 50, "the distinguished number of transcendence."

761, e.g.

פסיק רישא (pesik reisha) - obvious conclusion, lit. [if] the head is separated, [is it not dead?]
