The Number 23

   The Number 23, which comes in Numerological sequence of 5, Its the number comes after 22 and before 24. But more than this, there is a mystery behind this number 23, Its like a psychic disease called  Number '23 enigma' - The 23 enigma means that most incidents and events are directly connected to the number 23, some modification of the number 23, or a number related to the number 23. Many films have been made on this obsession. And history says that many people had this obsession for real. Now I am going to list the most strange things related to the number 23 collected from various sources.

1.  The Principia discordia  states that "All things happen in fives, or are divisible by or are multiples of five, or are somehow directly or indirectly appropriate to 5 this is referred to as the Law of Fives. The 23 Enigma is regarded as a corollary  of this law. It can be seen in Robert Anton Wilson  and Robert Shea's The Illuminatus (therein called the "23/17 phenomenon"), Wilson's The final secrets of  the Illuminati (therein called "The Law of fives" and "The 23 Enigma"), Arthur Koestler's Challenge of Chance, as well as the Principia Discordia. In these works, 23 is considered lucky, unlucky, sinister, strange, or sacred to the goddess Eris (who surveys a world of chaos.) or to the unholy gods of the Cthulhu Mythos.
2. The number has been the subject of not one but two films: the 1998 German movie, 23, and The Number 23, starring Jim Carrey, released (naturally) today. Each has a main character obsessed with the number.
3. 23 is one of the most commonly cited prime numbers - a number that can only be divided by itself and one. Twenty three is the lowest prime that consists of consecutive digits, and it add up to another Prime number. Primes have been described as the "atoms" of mathematics - the building blocks of the world of numbers. An American businessman has put up a US$1m (£500,000) prize for the first mathematician to find a pattern in primes - a problem known as the Riemann hypothesis.

7. Ancient Chinese believed numbers conveyed sexuality - evens for feminine and odds for masculine. They considered prime numbers to be the most masculine, conferring special status on 23 which is made up of two consecutive prime numbers and the only even prime number - two.

While Burroughs was thinking about the incident, a radio bulletin announced the crash of a Flight 23 on the New York-Miami route. The pilot was another Captain Clark.
