There seems to be a constant about the nature of number across all cultures: that they have a magically aspect and seem to be an integral part of the nature of the universe. Of course some numbers seem to be more magic than others, e.g. Pi. Why numbers are inherent in the universe is another interesting question considering wave and field theory. Magic? cheers Paul Paryski
