    Time's mystery
    Recently, and by that I mean for about a couple of weeks I have been seeing symmetrical(?) numbers in the clock. I am usually doing something and when I look at the clock I frequently see numbers like 1:11, 2:22, 3:33 on the clock..
    Does that mean anything? I am intrigued by that and usually laugh it off but I really want to know if there is any meaning behind these numbers.. any suggestions?

    All it means is that you recognize a pattern and it sticks in your mind.

    I actually wondered about this myself. I wrote down the time every time I looked for three days. I found that only about 8% was a pattern, or easily recognized number (ie 1:11, 5:55, 9:11, etc.), yet I remembered those times about 75% more than the basic (7:46, for example) times because, I guessed, it's a recognizable pattern.

    But, that's just my study. There may be some professional thing out there, but I think that there is nothing behind it.

    This question might be more properly addressed in the Psychology or Philosophy or Spirituality Forums, rather than Science Fiction. Nischal, perhaps you might do well to look at those forums.
