Zero, two, zero, two, two, zero, two, zero. From left to right, right to left, forward and back. 02/02/2020. Realize that a date as that of the February 2, 2020, when it is expressed in the form of an eight-digit, is a palindrome is nice, but it has not the slightest effect.
The date may be written in many ways, and then there are many ways that have to be or not to be palindromes. In this case is so special that it also works if you precede the year: 2020 / 02 / 02. Like in a binary code innovative alternates in fact, the zero and the two (instead of one), seems to be an alphabet of only two letters in which you end up saying always the same word.
But we know that the figures are not only two: nine. In the continuous combine, take and change configurations, such as fragments of colour that can be enchanted in a kaleidoscope. But what does it mean that the date is a palindrome? It will be a lucky day, unlucky, especially as the other? Everyone will have to respect his idea and, as usual, has the right to it. Just because them feels particularly close, however, to those who think that it’s something completely indifferent (so it is true that in another way to compute the year, or to express dates in the palindrome there is one) will be done as an observation, in a totally friendly and even supportive.
we Live in a world that does nothing more than try to give meaning to the numbers and, indeed, to draw from the numbers, the meaning of life. It is scientific, they say, what is expressed with a number. Many infected by the coronavirus, and many unemployed less or more, many citizens who believe that a leader will win, or lose, many investors who think that an action will fall in value, many players note that a number is not extracted from many weeks… Debts, credits, merits, all quantified, ordered in leaderboards and ranking, played as if a number carries an evidence of the sense.
“The number y that are not ambiguous!”. you sighed with relief, repeating the proverb, the most foolish of all, that is not the one of the cat hurried nor that of the woman at the wheel. There is one that beats even these, and it is one of mathematics is not an opinion.
Now, here we are with a date that is a palindrome: a pure expression of recurrent rather a combination of nine digits, which sooner or later it happens occasionally inevitably give rise to configurations that are recursive, symmetrical, beautiful as a cloud that looks like a camel.
dear friends, I would like to say brothers and sisters, you who think it’s a combination that has no sense, you have reason to be suspicious of the values the mystical, of the powers superstitious, of the suggestions of the esoteric connections, you do not think that a date that is a palindrome is exceptionally significant just for this? Is a sequence of numbers in particular, and this does not mean absolutely nothing. Do not try also the same of you my relief?
