666
-----

1999 A.D., relative to the year 1 A.D.
The year 1999 equals the year 1 A.D. plus 666 plus 666 plus 666 years.


The American flag, and the orbit of the moon
The numbers of the flag, 13 stripes and 50 stars, are close to the numbers of the correlation of the cycles of the earth and the moon with the number 666: there are 13.37 moon orbits in a year, and 49.82 years in 666 moon orbits.


Apollo 11: date of moon landing, in relation to the 1111 moon orbit period centered between 1-1-1918 and 12-31-2001
Date is 18,666 days after the beginning of the 1111 moon orbit period centered between 1-1-1918 and 12-31-2001 (beginning date of period is 6-12-1918). The date given for the moon landing of Apollo 11, said to be the first ship in which man has landed on the moon, is July 20, 1969.


Al Gore's "political comeback": date of
Al Gore held a press conference announcing his "political comeback" on 2-2-2002, which is 666 moon phases since his birth on 3-31-1948, and is also 19,666 days since his birth. (See entry for "Al Gore's 'political comeback': date of" under 222.)


bar codes (UPC)

Christian Bible: the number of the beast
Number is 666. The King James version of the Bible says, in the book "Revelation" (or "Apocalypse") chapter 13: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six," that is, 666.


Christian cross
The shorter piece of the Christian cross is about 2/3 (or 0.6666...) as long as the longer piece, and it is positioned about 2/3 (or 0.6666...) of the way along the longer piece.


Jesus of Nazareth, date of birth, in relation to the 6000 year period beginning 6000 years before the year 2001
Date of birth (circa 1 A.D.) is 2/3 (or 0.6666...) of the way through the 6000 year period described. The beginning of this period (4000 B.C.) is the approximate date given for "Adam," at least within 240 years.


July 1, noon, and July 1, 11:06 PM
July 1, noon, is 666 minutes short of being 6.66 moon orbits into the year. That is, July 1, 11:06 PM, which is 666 minutes past noon, is 6.66 moon orbits into the year. (See entry for "The moon's orbit," below, for the same fact stated a different way.)


London: year of the "Great fire" of 1666
Year ends in 666. The "Great fire of London" of 1666 leveled most of the city. This was the second "Great fire of London," with the first "Great fire" having occurred in the year 1212.


The moon's orbit
The period of 6.66 moon orbits is greater than a whole number of half days by 666 minutes. Stated another way, the period of 6.66 moon orbits is greater than a whole number of days by 23:06 hours, which is 666 minutes past noon. (See entry for "July 1, noon," above, for the same fact stated a different way.)


The moon's orbit: 111 moon orbits
The period of 111 moon orbits is less than a whole number of days by 7:06 hours, or 6 hours and 66 minutes (6:66).


The moon's orbit: 111 plus "pi" moon orbits
The period of 111 plus "pi" moon orbits is less than a whole number of days by 666 minutes.


The moon's orbit: 50 years
The period of 50 years is equal to 668.4 moon orbits, which can also be expressed as 666 moon orbits and 66 days, minus 2:48 hours.


The moon's orbit: 911 days
The period of 911 days is equal to 33.333 moon orbits and 6.666 hours.


The moon's orbit: one "sidereal" year
The period of one "sidereal" year (an earth year with respect to the stars) is equal to 13 moon orbits, 10 days, and 1:48 hours, and this time of day is less than a whole day by 666 plus 666 minutes.


The moon's phases: 666 moon phases
The period of 666 moon phases is equal to 19,667.4 days, which can also be expressed as 19,666 days plus 33 hours.


New York City area code, as related to the number "pi"
A main New York City area code is 212, and 212 times "pi" equals 666.


Oklahoma City bombing, and the execution of Timothy McVeigh: time between
The time between the Oklahoma City bombing on 4-19-1995, at 9:02 EST, and the execution of Timothy McVeigh on 6-11-2001, at 7:14 EST, is 2244 days, plus 666 plus 666 minutes, event to event.


Roman numerals: sum of
The sum of all classical Roman numerals, I, V, X, L, C, D (1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500) is 666. (The numeral M, for 1000, was a later addition.)


"2001: A Space Odyssey," director Stanley Kubrick: date of death
Date is 666 days before the year 2001. Stanley Kubrick was reported to have died on 3-7-1999 or 3-8-1999. Also, the year 1999 equals the year 1 A.D. plus 666 plus 666 plus 666 years.


"2001: A Space Odyssey": camera shots, number of
The number of camera shots (or edits) in the film, from "The Dawn of Man" to "The End," is 666.


"2001: A Space Odyssey": hypothetical time of activation of the computer "HAL"
The novel gives the date of activation of the computer "HAL" as January 12, 1997, and the movie gives the date as January 12, 1992. No time of day is given. The time 7:41 AM, on January 12, is exactly 6 moon orbits, 6 days, and 6 hours before July 1, noon, which is 666 minutes short of being 6.66 moon orbits into the year (which is July 1, 11:06 PM).


"2001: A Space Odyssey": timing of "The Dawn of Man" and the first "monolith"
The sum of the time index when "The Dawn of Man" starts, at 1:41 minutes, or 101 seconds, plus the time index when the first "monolith" is shown, at 9:25 minutes, or 565 seconds, equals 666 seconds. (Times are measured from the start of the MGM lion logo.)


"2001: A Space Odyssey": running time, as related to the orbit of the moon
The running time of the film in seconds, from the beginning of the "Overture" to the end of the "Exit Music" (total exhibition time), is equal to the number of moon orbits contained in 666 years (8903). The running time of the film in seconds, from the beginning of the MGM lion logo to the fade-out of the story, is equal to the number of moon phases contained in 666 years (8237). Everything before and after the movie proper, that is, the "Overture," end credits, and "Exit Music" times, adds up to 666 seconds (and this mathematical property is a corollary of the previous two facts).


Washington monument: height
Height is 6665 inches. Monument in Washington, D.C., built between 1848 and 1884, in honor of George Washington, the first President of the United States of America.


Water, boiling point, as related to the number "pi"
