On the other hand I find these results fascinating. They are like a microcosm of experimental science. Numerical coincidences like these can be found by any high school student with a calculator, but only some deep theory can tell us whether they really are coincidences, in the statistical sense, or whether they are a manifestation of some precise underlying structure. The Ulam spiral is one of my favourite examples of this kind of thing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulam_spiral http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulam_spiral
