    "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information" [1] is one of the most highly cited papers in psychology. [2] [3] [4] It was written by the cognitive psychologist George A. Miller of Harvard University's Department of Psychology and published in 1956 in Psychological Review.

    LNH was Dirac's personal response to a set of large number "coincidences" that had intrigued other theorists of his time. The "coincidences" began with Hermann Weyl (1919), [2] [3] who speculated that the observed radius of the universe, R U, might also be the hypothetical radius of a particle whose rest energy is equal to the gravitational self-energy of the electron:

    The 7±2 topic itself is only a brief one, the urban legend has grown out of all proportion to the paper that spawned it. George Miller published a paper that pointed out how various measurements produced answers around the number seven. He did not propose a theory as such and subsequent memory research went off in all sorts of directions.

    According to Stephen Skinner, the study of sacred geometry has its roots in the study of nature, and the mathematical principles at work therein. [5] Many forms observed in nature can be related to geometry; for example, the chambered nautilus grows at a constant rate and so its shell forms a logarithmic spiral to accommodate that growth without changing shape.

    The dark forest hypothesis is a special case of the "sequential and incomplete information game" in game theory. [ 14 ] [ 9 ] [ 15 ] In game theory, a "sequential and incomplete information game" is one in which all players act in sequence, one after the other, and none are aware of all available information.

  9. Quintessence: The Search for Missing Mass in the Universe

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintessence:_The_Search...

    [6] [7] Whether our universe is ever-expanding depends on the amount and properties of matter, but there is too little visible matter around us to explain the behavior we can see—over 90% of the universe consists of the missing mass or dark matter, [8] which Krauss termed "the fifth essence."
