One of the greatest definitions of Time which I’ve ever read is “Time is the measurement of the decay of matter.” And of course, one needs Space in which to put matter. “10” words defined all that.

  • Ten is the smallest semiprime that is the sum of all the distinct prime numbers from its lower factor through its higher factor (10 = 2 + 3 + 5 = 2 . 5) Only three other small semiprimes (39, 155, and 371) share this attribute.
  • Ten is the second discrete semiprime (2 × 5) and the second member of the (2 × q) discrete semiprime family. Ten has an aliquot sumσ(n) of 8 and is accordingly the first discrete semiprime to be in deficit. All subsequent discrete semiprimes are in deficit. The aliquot sequence for 10 comprises five members (10,8,7,1,0) with this number being the second composite member of the 7-aliquot tree.
  • Ten is the sum of the first three prime numbers, of the four first positive integers (1 + 2 + 3 + 4), of the square of the two first odd numbers and also of the first four factorials (0! + 1! + 2! + 3!). Ten is the eighth Perrin number, preceded in the sequence by 5, 5, 7.
  • A Polygon with10 sides is a decagon, and 10 is a decagonal number Because 10 is the product of a power of 2 (namely 21) with nothing but distinct Fermat primes (specifically 5), a regular decagon is a constructible polygon.
  • Tenis also a triangular number, a centered triangular number, and a tetrahedral number.
  • Ten is the number of n queens problem solutions for n = 5. meaning The eight queens puzzle is the problem of placing eight chess queens on an 8×8 chessboard so that no two queens threaten each other. Thus, a solution requires that no two queens share the same row, column, or diagonal.
  • 10 factoral seconds is exactly equal to six weeks.
  • The Roman numeral for ten is X (which looks like two Vs [the Roman numeral for 5] put together); it is thought that the V for five is derived from an open hand (five digits displayed), and X for ten from both hands. Incidentally, the Chinese word numeral for ten is also a cross: .
  • The digit ‘1’ followed by ‘0’ is how the value of p is written in base p. (E.g. 16 in hexadecimal is 10.)

Hey I’ve been reading your numerology articles and Im a a little freaked out, I was born on April the 6th 1992 I weighed 6lbs 6ozs at 1:09 In the morning in Glendale az. Is that not some tripy stuff right there and my fathers side of the family has ties to the freemason. im should I not read too much into this? It’s really making me confused og

Wouldn’t read to much into it….Unless your mother conspired with the evil Masonic forces to birth you at a predetermined time in order to facilitate the harmonic manifestation for the spirit of the antichrist you really don’t have anything to worry about…LOL….Seriously though. numbers do represent specific influences as they manifest in this dimension. They can be “turned on” or “charged” with ritual and mass awareness as well. but everything has to happen at some time and quite often the vibrational signature won’t be strong enough to make a noticeable difference..that is unless YOU take note and begin augmenting these energies.
