    Earth: 5 letters.
    Moon: 4 letters.
    Sun: 3 letters.
    That adds up tp 12, and we have 12 months each year!

    Religion: 8 letters.
    Faith: 5 letters.
    Adds up to 13 letters.

    Physics: 7 letters.
    Science: 7 letters.
    That's 14 letters.

    See where I'm going? As we progress, as we move forward through time, we gain letters! First we have just a basic planetary system, Earth and Moon and Sun, twelve letters. Then we humans get started, a bunch of hairy cavemen with silly superstitions, and it's 13 letters (note the significance of the number 13 in the time of superstitions!). Then we move forward into the realms or science and physics, of logic and evidence, and we have 14 letters.

    What's next? I'm confident that by this theory we may accurately predict the general future of our species. If we can work out the suitable combination which will give 15 letters, we will know where we are headed.

    PS: So, do I have a crackpot theory yet?

    Compared to Dwayne, Paul or Muscleman, yours is lame. Now if you want to consider allowing this theory to take over your life whereas you spend every waking moment writing endless posts ladled with nonsense and copious amounts of drivel, maybe then you'll get nominated. and, you'll need more votes.

    Oh come on! This took me 3 seconds to think up, and two minutes to type. If I can come up with a bollocks theory so fast, I must be a good crackpot!

    Adam,

    Why not try the "Nothing exists, I can prove everything in the universe exists just because of my imagination, my existance is my own imagination therefore nothing exists" routine, this one is a definite one that tends to crop up from time to time.

    (usually because someones got to the point where they don't know what planet they're on let alone what imagination their in)

    If that doesn't work you could always try the COINING another termonology, like M.I. (Macro Intelligence)

    or you could justify your crack potency by claiming that your really a space monkey from austrailia mind you....

    What? No terminalogy? A sign of a poorly developed theory indeed.

    I'm totally down with that! Have you read the story by Ted Chiang entitled "Seventy-Two Letters" ? It's found in the sci-fi anthology series "Year's Best SF 6" edited by David G. Hartwell, HarperCollins Publishers, copyright 2001.

    BTW the author Ted Chiang is the youngest to ever receive a Nebula Award. His writing is good, really good.

    I percieve only two problems with your theory:
    1) How is it testable?
    2) How will you make money off of it?

    I bought it.

    Today I shot a man because he had fifteen letters in his name on the basis of your post.

    So do we have a religion now?

    How does your theory stack up in languages other than English? I suspect the order will be different, which kinda kills the theory.

    By taking certain ENGLISH words, and I stress ENGLISH, you have stumbled apon abolute randomness. Because your choice of words are random, yet mathamatics states that absolute randomness can only exsist in a domain of Infinite. ex: f(x) {domain is -i to i} ---i=infinite-----. The ENGLISGH langue is not based on an infinite amount of words, so therefore your theory is quite creative, FOR A 5 year old, jkjkjk. It is a coninsidence that this happens, and can be explained in much more advanced forms of Mathamatics which would probebly not be comprehended by 98% of the people on this site, and is for a whole other discussion. Good thought, but once again Mathamatics proves wrong.

    God I love Math, lol

    Neat theory, but it holds a pale flame to my underpants-and-insanity-stealing-penguins theory.

    Hey, anything involving your underpants has to be good, right?

    I like it.

    Buddy,

    I totally know where you're going with this. You had a creative idea. The problem was, it was all data and no tangability.
    Your idea is a seed. But its corn not carrots like you thought.
    Read up on Numerology. Yeah...they'll still make fun of it. But you'll have a better understanding. At least it will make more sense. There is science behind the letter. The letter is a trigger for your mouth and vocal chords. And in turn...you create different frequencies in acoustic space. So in a sense your mouth does affect the environment around it. If you assign numbers to letters, 1-9 for example, you then see a mathematical
    graph of words.
    Here is an example
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    A B C D E F G H I
    J K L M NO P Q R
    S T U V WX Y Z




    Earth: 5 letters. ---E=5 A=1 R=9 T=2 H=8 (5+1+9+2+8)= 25 (2+5)=7
    Moon: 4 letters. ---M=4 O=6 O=6 N=5 (4+6+6+5)=21 (2+1)=3
    Sun: 3 letters.
    EARTH=7 MOON=3 (7+3)=10 (1+0)= 1
