The number 7

[DuckWarri0r]

7 means one, and another one, one more, another, another, another and finally one more. IE; 7. 6 funnily enough stands for "6"

Lay off the acid/paint thinner for a bit guys.

I guess you want another lesson, huh?

I gave your mom a lesson.

I think the resurfacing of the number 7 in various religions and literature goes way before the study of our immediate solar system. I think the use of the number 7 originates from integer mathematics. The integer 7 multiplied to any integer from 2 to 9 produces more prime numbers than the other numbers in the set. Excluding the integer 1 out of the Normal Integer Set because it obviously produces prime numbers.

Just my theory. As far as I know, math was a prerequisite for primitive astronomy. So something had to plant the seed before it could develop some roots.

Also multiplying 7 to any other number in a Normal Integer set has no definite pattern in products. Whereas, all of the other numbers do. This is mainly because its the first odd number after the middle of the set (5), which does not allow it recursion of a pattern before its products are greater than 100. Also because 9 is the only other odd number after 5, which obviously would have to show a pattern in a log base 10 numerical system.

This is another awesome example of the Creator's handy-work, woven right into all reality, like an entire kingdom built from a single invincible thread. Such conditions existed even before it was recognized, which leads to a whole new train of thought and investigation. The journey continues.

There are SEVEN notes in the musical scale. All other pitches are only variations of these. When the musician uses the eighth note he goes back to “do” and starts over. Man named the notes but God fixed the sounds, even as God fixed the days of the week, and man named them.

Life operates in a cycle of SEVENS. Changes take place in the body every SEVEN years. There are SEVEN bones in the neck, SEVEN bones in the face, SEVEN bones in the ankle, and SEVEN holes in the head. Most births are multiple of SEVENS. The hen sits three weeks (21 days); the pigeon two weeks (14 days); after having laid eggs for two weeks. Of 129 species of Mammalia (sic) the majority have a period from conception to birth of an exact number of weeks, a multiple of SEVEN.

Human physiology is constructed on a law of SEVENS. Children are born to mothers in a certain number of weeks usually 280 days, a multiple of SEVENS. Fevers and intermittent attacks of gout, ague, and similar complaints have a period of operation of SEVEN, FOURTEEN or TWENTY-ONE days knows as critical days.

All departments of nature are marked all over with mathematics. In this realm practically everything is in SEVENS. Notice next time the shape of frost when it crystallizes on the window. Notice the small snow flakes.

Snowflakes have 6 sides.

As do football pitches..

I actually believe that math and physics are, as Albert Einstein said, the language of God. However, I do not express them publicly because it makes people not want to listening to us.

Personally I see the number 12 and its factors and multiples alot more than 7. 12 semitones in an octave, 12 months of the year ect.

Its true when it comes to linear time. Standards of time have the highest common denominator of 4.
