We first posted this synchro when our blog was about a week old. It remains one of my personal favorites, an eerie precognitive synchro involving numbers.

Wolfgang Pauli, a physicist and Nobel laureate, was an early supporter of Jung’s theory on synchronicity and investigated the phenomenon as well. He had a rather striking experience with a set of numbers. Pauli was confounded by one of the unsolved mysteries of modern physics, the value of the fine structure constant, which involves the number 137. As author and physicist F. David Peats explained, “…while the other fundamental constants of nature are all immensely small or enormously large, this fine structure constant 1/137 turns out to be a human-sized number. This number…and its place in the scale of the universe particularly puzzled Pauli.”
When Pauli was admitted to the hospital at the age of 58 for a routine operation and learned he would be in room 137, he supposedly said, “I will never get out of here.”
And he was right. He died shortly afterward.
i remember this one – and love it too!
I figured you would remember, Jenean!
Aaaaargh, this is eerie…..
