TO INFINITY AND BEYOND

  9 Is Considered a "Magic" Number Have you ever heard that the number 9 is considered to be a "magic" number? No? Well it is, and here is why: if you multiply a number by 9 and add all the digits of the new number together, the sum will  always  add up to 9. So, for example: 8 x 9 = 72 7 + 2 = 9 Or: 4 x 9 = 36 3 + 6 = 9 See? It truly is magical. Try it out. Every single combination will always lead you back to 9!

  The Fibonacci Sequence Appears in Nature Leonardo Fibonacci was from Pisa. He lived in the 13th Century in Italy, and is credited with discovering a mathematical sequence that's now named after him: the Fibonacci Sequence. Starting at 0 and 1, this sequence is created as the sum of two preceding numbers in the sequence. So, for example: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, … The Fibonacci Sequence often appears in nature—most commonly in rabbit litters. (Put one rabbit with another rabbit, and you'll get two rabbits, which spawn three, who then mate to spawn five, and so on.) Also, the song "Lateralus," by the American prog metal band Tool, is written in time with the Fibonacci Sequence.
