What I find odd is lately, I found myself repeating this randomly in my head "Number 9.... number 9..... Number 9".

If you haven't heard The Beatles Revolution number nine song as posted earlier in this thread by MysticMushroom then you might be in for a strange synchro...

And there is the cool party trick of multiplying by Nines on your hands.
Hold up both hands, palms away. From left to right. Pinky (L) is one. What is 1 X 9? Put your pinky down.
What is 2 x 9? Put your ring finger (L) down. Three is the middle, four is the index, etc.
Works for all fingers!
Learned that one in third grade and never bothered to memorize multiplying by nines! Still in use today!

I can't help wondering if it's the same with reality, that everything is information. That the material universe is essentially energy arranged in patterns and constructs of information. And that it can all be broken down into a binary system? For example matter and the theorized anti matter, particles and waves, positive and negative charges etc...
The atom is made up of the positively charged proton and the negatively charged electron and the neutron with no charge, perhaps that's where the trinity comes in? I realize the science of subatomics is much more complicated than this but find it very interesting none the the less.
P.s I've figured out how to embed images from my library now at least, it would make life easier if I could embed directly from an external source though, but maybe that's not allowed.

There are other interesting patterns involving multiples of nine: 12345679 × 9 = 111111111 12345679 × 18 = 222222222 12345679 × 81 = 999999999
