The Lucky Number

The Lucky Number

It's a massive hit! what a short!
 Yes, it's a short of luck for every batsman in cricket; it's the one and only six!!!
   In the 2011 world cup final the winng short for India was six!!! It was only six who had made a luck for the county!
  Not only in cricket , in the game of throwing a die; 6 is also the luck.
   Really! it's true that , 6 is a symbol of luck!
         
The lucky number
But in the world of mathematics 6 is not only a number of luck, but  it's very interesting also.
   (1) six is the product of two consecutive natural number (6=2×3).
    (2) six is the only even perfect number (a number which is equal to the sum of its all factors, excluding the number itself),(6=1+2+3). Again if we add all the factors of 6 including itself and divide the result by 2 ; the result is 6 itself.
     (3) six is a harmonic divisors number.
     (4) six is a congurent number.
     (5) A cube has 6 faces.
     (6) A standard guitar has 6 strings.A standard flute has 6 holes.
      (7) Insects has 6 legs.
      (8) A standard die has 6 faces.
      (9) A benzene molecule  has a ring of 6 carbons. Again 6 is the atomic number of carbon!
      (10) We have 6 senses!
      (11) There are six players on a volleyball team and an ice hockey team.
      (12)Every Braille cell (Braille is a reading and writing system for blind people) is made up of six dots; two columns consisting of three dots on each side. Various dots are raised to specify different letters.

    June is the sixth month in calender. June is named after Juno. Juno was the queen goddess in Roman mythology. She was married to Jupiter. Juno was the patron goddess of the Roman Empire. Her equivalent in Greek mythology was Hera.Juno was also the patroness of marriage.
  This may explain why so many  people consider the month of June to be a favorable time to get married.
 
    In the Bible, according to the Gospel of John, Jesus preformed his first miracle in Cana. At a wedding six stone jars were filled with water and Jesus turned the water into wine.

   In Buddhism ,  Samsara or The Wheel of Life is the six spheres of existence that all are trapped in.  These six are: beings in hell , hungry ghosts, animals, asuras , humans and devas. Everyone will upon death be reborn in a higher or lower state or class  depending on their own karma( good and bad deeds).
    The only way to break out of Samsara is by obtaining enlightenment or illumination.


    The American philosopher William James says that, "whenever two people meet , there are really 6 people present. There is each man as he sees himself, each man as the other person sees him and each man as he really is ".
      At last, We can recall the words of Saint Augustine.
“Six is a number perfect in itself, not because God created all things in six days; rather, the converse is true . God created all things in six days because the number is perfect.”
