By thecounterpunch

π (Pi) is a 1998 American psychological thriller directed by Darren Aronofsky.

The plot: Maximillian Cohen, a mathematical prodigy, believes that everything in nature can be understood through numbers. Max tries to uncover patterns in Stock Market with the assistance of his homemade supercomputer Euclid.

Max comes across a 216-digit number that he believes may hold the key to understanding the universe. A number of mysterious groups have become interested in his research, including a Wall Street firm with access to powerful new computer hardware, and a sect of Kabbalistic Jews who believe that the Torah, when represented as numbers instead of letters, contains the true name of God.

Wow.

Sounds interesting.

And I think there are people who have actually pursued this line of thinking and that's where many of the 2012 doomsday prophecies come from.

1. A computer that predicts future events2. Some guy using a number system to decode some ancient Chinese writings that seem to foretell a catastrophy in the year 2012.

So, yea...life imitates art.

Great hub!
