Thread: 11:11 Theory

Ah, so "experiencing 11:11" means experiencing something important around the time of 11:11, specifically after looking at a clock (presumably digital) when it's 11:11.

I still don't understand. We could just as easily have a 12:12 experience, or a 4:36 experience, just by looking at the clock before something important occurs.

But that's okay. It's a testable hypothesis.

zerospace, I was wondering if you would humor me and set your watch to go off at 11:11 each day for a while and record the events that take place. Rate their importance on some relative scale (1 being related to something you find very unimportant, 50 to something of average importance, and 100 to something very important). Add your results and divide by the number of days. Is the value significantly above 50? For best results, do this over multiple time periods.

Then, in a different period of time, switch your data collecting around. Record all the events you consider mildly to very important and note their approximate time of occurence. Do they tend to occur on or around 11:11? If so, what might be causing this? Perhaps people normally do important things before lunchtime.

I can tell this kind of study might not appeal to you. It certainly doesn't appeal to me. But remember this is an 11:11 theory, and it needs to be tested over and over if it will ever become an 11:11 law. It would be great if it was a law... then we could anticipate important events like fires, heart attacks, or earthquakes or something.

Do it for science?

Here's another question: What if it's 12:11 in your timezone, but 11:11 in the timezone before yours? Is that still an indicator of importance for you? How about 13:11 in a time zone two forward? Does it change with Daylight Savings Time?

Ex9: I'll do it! For Science! Let's see if there is a model hiding in the theory!

I just set an alarm on my phone for 11:11 Local Time

For kicks and giggles, I set a network alarm for 11:11 in a random time zone. I'll record my day for the next month in both.

Great idea!

It doesn't happen everyday. I know if I just sat here waiting for the clock to turn 11:11 nothing would probably happen. When it does occur it’s at nighttime and I wake up suddenly at 11:11 or I'm doing something and I just get the urge to glance at the clock. It happens day and night but there isn't a pattern to it. I have kept a journal of what I've learned from it and what I think it means. Some believe that there is a higher existence trying to get our attention in small ways such as time awareness and energy disruptions. All I can say is that it effects my life and I know it exist.

So it's really the 23:11 experience for you then. 11:11 isn't significant, only after dark. Hmm.

And nothing important ever happens at say 23:18 (11:18pm)?

Is it documentable that there are statistically more important things happening at 11:11pm for you than at any other time?

Ex9's test is still applicable. Just need to modify it a little bit. Document the time that a significant even occurs. After a month, we can plot a scatter graph around 11:11.

Well like I said, it happens day and night so its am and pm. Just looking at the clock everyday won't be the same as your brain knowing exactly when to look at the clock..

You're probably right, it wouldn't be prudent to sit around and wait for 11:11 to occur. That's why we would need an alarm. The alarm will signal your brain and give you the \"urge\" to look at your watch, or computer clock, or any other time piece. Seeing the 11:11 on the clock will satisfy the first part of the 11:11 experience, and according to the theory, something important should follow.

But the pattern is that, when it does happen, it happens at 11:11, right?

Perhaps we could give more attention to this higher existence, then, if we test the 11:11 theory?

If they want us to look at the clock when it's 11:11, wouldn't they want us to set our alarms for it?


It'd be fun to do it with you, Kim! But I don't know ... these would-be higher beings who would want me to look at the clock kind of concern me.

I looked at the clock and it was 11:11.

Nothing happened.

Hey,

If you are serious about testing this theory I have some ideas (by the way I'm not one to believe in mysticism. sp? I usualy believe something it just coincidence. ). Anyhow, what happens if you purposely set your clocks so they are wrong? eg, when it is actualy 11:11 your clocks read 11:30? Will events still tend to happen around the correct or incorrect time? Also what will happen if you set all the clocks in your house for different times? Is something more likely to occure at different times depending on what room you are in and with what clock?

Just some thoughts,

Nick

Yeah, Sengo, that was great.

See? There are all sorts of other imaginative things we can do to see if other variables or parameters are or aren't having an observable effect. What if, instead of a mechanical alarm, we recruit someone else to set his alarm to 11:10 and call the subject over the phone and ask her what time it is, and force her to look at the clock without her anticipation? We could even have another level of blindness, and call the second person without his anticipation, and have him call the subject, and later ask the subject if she saw that it was 11:11 and ask her if anything important happened. This would be difficult, but, hey, aren't their higher beings and psychic abilities to uncover? We could even survey a random sampling of people on the street around the time of 11:15 and ask them quickly if something important happened in the past few minutes, and if they happened to look at the clock before it happened, and then do the same at around 11:45, or another arbitrary time.

I seem to look at the clock when it 10:07.

From this personal experience I concluded that I happened to look at the clock at 10:07am for two or three days and then started really noticing it, telling a few people sitting next to me and tying it memory. Therefore I was training my subconscious to tell my conscious to look at the clock. of course I could be wrong. so I very much would like to see Sengo's and maybe any other experiments carried out.

You choose the appealing, and subcosciously create a habit. It is rare for me to look at a clock and see anything with a five at the end e.g. 1:45. The reason why it is easy two see double is because there is 1 and 10, 2 and 20 ...
It is easiest to see a 1 when looking at a digital clock and Grandfathers clock. But see you don't see those 11:11's and 22:22's happen often when you have a Grandfathers clock nearby with those Roman numerals. Sometimes you look at the clock right before it changes from a e.g. 1:49 to a 1:50 or 13:49 to 13:50. Kim seems a little annoying, but think you are annoying to her. That is how everything is. We all have different views, and we should realize that.

No - I'm just annoying... That's a provable theory. In fact - in may be a universal law.

Nope, that one's already been falsified. You're not annoying to me. So at the very least it can't be true in all frames of reference, not like the speed of light or anything.

Oh, look, we disagreed on something lol.

[thanks, but...]

Ahhh, but you see, in a sufficient gravitational well, the speed of light may not be a constant as we know it. Atleast from the appropriate point of observation, right?

Special Relativity?

I'd have to go back and look it up though.

I just read the first few posts and opened those links and just skipped 2nd and 3rd page so if anyone wrote this sorry.

Reading the stuff on those pages I remembered the book I read before. It's called "The Secret of Shambhala : In Search of the Eleventh Insight" by James Redfield. To my amazement it has a number 11 in its title. You should really read it because it's a great book. It actually writes about the ascension of humans to a higher form of consciousness.

Well...just looked it up. From what I can see, 11:11 is meant to be some kind of mystical/spiritual time, that some people, more or less without fail, happen to see when they look at a clock at least once a day. So, these people will see the time 11:11 every day.

As an experiment, people who believe things like this should arbitrarily pick another number to look for, and start noting how many times they notice that as well. When we are looking for something, seeing it attaches much more significance than it otherwise would (we look at our watches and clocks many, many times a day, and ignore & soon forget specific times unless they hold some significance). Thus, if we were looking to see 11:11, we'd probably completely ignore how many times we noticed 11:47 on our clocks.

I know this because I've tested it. I used to think I was haunted by a particular number, and then decided to try picking several others (in succession) and suddenly noticed they occurred just as frequently. There's no significance here.

Okay, holy crap-

Just looked at the clock 11:11. (22:11) < Was 22:22 due to total stupidity and being susceptible to influence

Surprised, nice.

>> 11:11. (22:22)

No. That would be 22:11

22:22 is 11:22pm.

Wow, now thats especially weird in that,

1. My PC clock is 24 hour, my Alarm Clock is 12.

2. I still managed to put 22....

I assume because I typed 11:11 first, then for whatever reason did 22:22 as someone before

Yeah, I'm better with 22:22, but that might be because my clocks are all set for 24hr time.

And I did the same not thinking about it
