The Fourfortyfour Theory


Sometimes you look at the time on your phone or on your computer and you have a 'FourFortyFour Moment' like 2:22, or 17:17, or 4:44. These numbers are islands made by time.

People accidentally get into them from different places all over the planet and just stay there for a minute. Whenever we have the same fourfortyfour moment we are together in a mental place.

The Fourfortyfour Theory.

Mine has always been 11:11. Only recently did I discover some mythical movement about this.

I only liked it because it was the only time all the digital spots on my clock were filled with the same number...

I dont get the connection between spider eating sperm and 4:44. Is that the number of spiders?

That was a pretty interesting minute. I'd really like to know how the designer accomplished that effect with Flash!

I reached this one while scrolling down at exactly 4:44 (though AM so maybe it doesn't count, not being from a 24 hour clock).

Still...

All? I think not:

1:28, 2:56, 5:12, 10:24, 20:48, 3:14, 4:20, 11:34, 13:37 there are most likely more.

Depends on your perspective.
