A Touch of Mathematics

     Unless you have been living under a rock for your whole life you've been introduced to Math. Unfortunately you have been introduced solely to Math. What many people do not realize is that the things you learn in school that bore everyone to death, that's right, I mean you English lovers, is just Math. What this blog is going to be about is not Math, this blog is going to be about Mathematics. Now you're probably wondering about now, why David, aren't Math and Mathematics the same thing? To this ridiculous statement I answer with a quick slap to your face. Math is pure numbers inside of equations and just solving for x and all that crap we learn in school. Mathematics is the more beautiful side to these numbers. The real life examples and the natural patterns and natural Math that is found everywhere in nature. Hopefully this blog will inspire you, my readers, to look for Mathematics in the world and if you do, i promise you will understand Math more if you do.

I would like to point out this theory that has been introduced semi-recently. It has been around for hundreds of years but now it is spreading like wildfire. It is the theory that everything and everyone in the world is connected through numbers and patterns in the universe. Now to some people this makes plenty of reasonable sense. Good for you. For the other type of person, those of my readers who find this harder to grasp or believe due to religious beliefs and such I ask you keep an open mind. You might just learn something.
Imagine for a moment that this theory is correct, an assumption if you will. Imagine that every person you have met or will meet in your life has already been pre-defined for you. You cannot change it, it will happen. The important moments in your life, those times you nearly escape death, and the times you meet special people in your life are all hard coded into the universe.
Now think about how many times in your life you have thought " wow what a coincidence!"  or "Wow, What a small world" Maybe you met an old friend at a store, or maybe one of your old teachers walks into the place you work at. How about when two things that were seemingly unrelated come together and suddenly make sense with each other. Now you could blow these off as mere coincidences, freaks of nature, but we are Mathematicians now, we don't see them as coincidences anymore. Maybe these freaks of nature were meant to happen, perhaps you were supposed to run into that old friend at the store. Maybe that friend really needed someone to cheer them up and seeing you made their day. Perhaps your old teacher has been having troubles finding a new job and you remember there is an opening at the place you work at. Maybe those two things were connected to each since they were first thought up. Maybe, just maybe they were always meant to touch. Maybe the next time you think it's just a coincidence or a small world you will instead think of it as your destiny. You might find you value the interactions a little more when they were meant to be.
There is a new show that premiered in March this year. This show is called Touch. This show is one of the most amazing and interesting show I believe I have ever watched in my life. This show is all about this theory and it shows it in every episode. The main character's child, Jake, in at least 12 years old, and in those twelve years he has not said a single word. It is Jake's job to make sure the people in the world who are destined to meet get their. It is his job to make sure their lives Touch. In the first episode Jake begins obsessing over the number 318, and throughout the episode people from all over the world encounter the number 318 in their lives. People are brought together, people meet for the first , but not their last time, and peoples lives are saved, all because of one interaction. I won't go into too much detail but i recommend you watch the first episode online and i can almost guarantee you will be intrigued by this show and be roped in by it. You can watch the episodes here. http://www.fox.com/touch/

Through the next few weeks and on I will delve deeper into this idea that things in the world are connected to each other. Not only that I  will shine some light to you non-believers on the beauty the world holds. The beauty much deeper than just visual  and sensual aesthetics. The beauty that mathematics brings to the world and maybe I'll get you to see the world through my eyes.
We will learn together through this blog that the world isn't actually as large as we think it is. We will learn that we can simplify everything in the world into simple numbers that connect everyone.

                                         It looks like it's just a Larger Small World.
