✞✞✞ - Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein - ✞✞✞
The Feynman point is a sequence of six 9s that begins at the 762
nd decimal place of the decimal representation of π. It is named after physicist Richard Feynman, who once stated during a lecture that he would like to memorize the digits of π until that point, so he could recite them and quip "nine nine nine nine nine nine and so on".
In Greek mythology, Echo (Greek: Ἠχώ, Ēkhō; "Sound") was an Oread ( a mountain nymph ) who loved her own voice. Zeus loved consorting with beautiful nymphs and visited them on Earth often.
Feynmans Echo, is a blog devoted to neither π or Greek Mythology. The shared theme is that of repetition, space and infinity. Repetition forms structure and pattern. Sonically a repetition could be percussive but on a microphonic level would become a drone. Music, in all forms harbours varied degrees of repetition, either physically, sonically or compositionally ( leit-motives etc ). Feynman's Point, is a series of five 9's. Spoken or shouted, this phrase could be misinterpreted germanically, as 'no, no, no, no, no' or as an ominous echo of an isolated cry for help.
