Just saw the movie for the first time on the weekend, it was nice. Did the guy imagine the whole thing? about the girl that kept calling him and the dudes that wanted the number for religous purposes etc?
also what did the number pi have to do with predicting the stock market? i didnt really grasp that concept.
ps: dont tell me to use the find button for Pi posts in 1997 ;P

I think you need to watch it again, or take a couple math classes.

thanks!
anyways i could see how the fionacci sequence related but didnt wee where the number of pi related. i thought the movie should have been called "requiem for the fibonacci sequence".

the conclusion sucked, the begginin up to the middle was really good.

a couple of weeks ago i listened to it at http://www.listentoamovie.com.
some films are obviously better than others for an "audio only" version.

an amazing film. the meaning is quite subtle, but it relates to an obscure Math theory I came across years ago, reading notes from Sagan book.
pi, like many other 'exceptional' numbers [the golden number, for example] is a infinite non-repeating decimal.
Some believe that there's is a pattern in it somewhere. There are references about this study from the ancient greeks, egyptians, the kabbalah, and the initiatic writings.
In the same way, that SETI tries to find a pattern among the 'noise' from outerspace.
The difference is that this message would have to be from the Architect.

it's also called sacred geometry which basically means that there is a pattern in everything, nature (the nautilus shell, sunflowers, seeds). churches pyramids-the list goes on and on. the theory is that EVERYTHING is interconnected and if you look close everything shares these same calcuations, it's actual quite fascinating.
this website goes into it a little bit

you guys should already be familiar with this.
it goes hand in hand with the grid.

one example: a tree's branch structure always follows Fibonacci's prime number sequence.
[a prime number has no positive integer divisors other than 1 and itself: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, ...]

pi kind of blew my mind. i needed to watch it like 4 times before i completely understood the whole thing.

i loved it, but didn't really appreciate it until i started getting headaches like that until a year ago.
now i'm absolutely fucked every two days. 9-12 hours at a time of vomiting blood and shivering in a bathtub, coupled with the most intolerable pain a person can imagine.
you guys should check out quaballah sometime. it's all numbers. i designed my site around it.

great movie. not sure about the black&decker stunt though, as if knowledge as only one way out...
finding hidden patterns is the thing behind any art. i remember someone telling me to stick to the "Golem" story as a pattern to find patterns.
jews! :D
