If the sun's path is observed from the Earth's reference frame, it appears to move around the Earth in a path which is tilted with respect to the spin axis at 23.5°. This path is called the ecliptic. It tells us that the Earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to the plane of the Earth's solar orbit by 23.5°. Observations show that the other planets, with the exception of Pluto, also orbit the sun in essentially the same plane. The ecliptic plane then contains most of the objects which are orbiting the sun. This suggests that the formation process of the solar system resulted in a disk of material out of which formed the sun and the planets. The 23.5° tilt of the Earth's spin axis gives the seasonal variations in the amount of sunlight received at the surface.<ref>[http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/eclip.html Hyperphysics]</ref> | If the sun's path is observed from the Earth's reference frame, it appears to move around the Earth in a path which is tilted with respect to the spin axis at 23.5°.

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, since 2 + 3 = 5. It can be seen in Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea's The Illuminatus! Trilogy (therein called the "23/17 phenomenon"), Wilson's Cosmic Trigger I: The Final Secret of the Illuminati | The [[Four Royal Stars]] have assigned numbers that are are the Royal Star numbers in Chaldean Numerology. In numerology there are certain numbers which are called as Royal Stars. Their numerology from ancient Persian Astrologers is the numbers 23, 37, 51 and 65. The number 23 is assigned to Regulus in Leo for the Royal Star of the Lion. The number 37 is assigned to Aldebaran for Taurus the Bull for the Royal Star of the Bull. The number 51 is the Royal Star of Man and is assigned to Fomalhaut through Aquarius. The number 65 is called Royal Star of the Earth assigned to Antares in Scorpio. | ||

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, since 2 + 3 = 5. The Discordian concept of "pure chaos" may be compared to the noumenon described by Plato and Kant. It can be seen in Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea's The Illuminatus! Trilogy (therein called the "23/17 phenomenon"), Wilson's Cosmic Trigger I: The Final Secret of the Illuminati. In these works, 23 is considered lucky, unlucky, sinister, strange, or sacred to the goddess Eris or to the unholy gods of the Cthulhu Mythos.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_enigma 23 Enigma]</ref> | |||
