Tesla's Universe Code: The Enigma of 3, 6, and 9
Scientist's Obsession with Numbers Extended to Life's Rituals and Natural Phenomena
Nicola Tesla, a visionary whose inventions include the AC motor and wireless electricity, held a profound belief: the numbers 3, 6, and 9 held the key to the universe. This conviction wasn't just theoretical; Tesla integrated these numbers into his daily life with an almost ritualistic intensity, from walking around buildings three times before entering to selecting hotel rooms divisible by three.
Tesla famously stated, "If mankind could understand the significance of 3, 6, and 9, they would have keys to the universe." He believed these numbers were not merely sequential but an invisible framework underlying reality.
Nature's Hidden Patterns
The text highlights how these numbers subtly appear in nature and mathematics:
The Number 9: Often surfaces in natural cycles and geometric patterns. The Fibonacci sequence, evident in sunflower seeds, frequently reduces to 9. Human pregnancy is approximately nine months, and we require nine essential amino acids. Even in timekeeping, 24 hours (2+4=6) can be broken into three 8-hour segments, with 2+4 again equaling 6, while 9 re-emerges in cycles of nature, sound frequencies, and vortex patterns in water and galaxies.
The Numbers 3 and 6: Tesla viewed these as part of a "triad of creation."
Three: Atoms have three main components (protons, neutrons, electrons). Light splits into three primary colors (red, green, blue). Stable structures like triangles have three sides. DNA codons are read in triplets. We experience time in three dimensions (past, present, future), and our world has three spatial dimensions (length, width, height). The moon has three main phases, and religious concepts like the Christian Trinity also reflect this.
Six: Insects have six legs, snowflakes exhibit six-fold symmetry, and bees build hexagonal honeycombs. Carbon, essential for life, has six protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Beyond the Numbers: A Divine Connection
The narrative expands beyond Tesla's numerical fascination to a theological perspective, suggesting a "Counting God" who meticulously numbers all things:
Beautiful Things God Counts:
Stars: Psalm 147:4 states God counts and names all stars, estimated to be a septillion (10^24) across trillions of galaxies.
Hairs on Our Head: This emphasizes God's care for even the most trivial details of our lives.
Tears: Psalm 56:8 portrays God collecting and recording every tear, signifying His deep value for individuals.
Scary Things God Counts:
Sin: Revelation 20:12 describes books recording human deeds, where even one sin is enough to separate individuals from a holy God. The concept suggests that no one can earn salvation through good deeds alone.
Days: The Bible indicates God has allocated a specific number of days for each person's life, highlighting a divine sovereignty over our lifespan.
Souls: Revelation 20:15 refers to the "Book of Life," where names of those who have trusted in Jesus Christ are written, implying a divine record of salvation.
The One Thing God Doesn't Count
God doesn't count the sins of those whose transgressions have been forgiven through faith in Jesus Christ. This forgiveness is likened to sin being cast to the deepest part of the ocean, never to be remembered. It emphasizes that salvation is not earned but freely given to those who seek it.
