11/11/11 11:11:11 example
In numerology, some New Age believers often link 11:11 to chance or coincidence.[1] It is an example of synchronicity. For instance, those who are seeing 11:11 on a clock often claim it as an auspicious sign[2] or signaling a spirit presence.[3][4]
Post-hoc reasoning and confirmation bias provide a context for such claims, and skeptics have pointed out that the assertions of people like Uri Geller that 11:11 is somehow important in world events do not hold up to even cursory scrutiny.[5][6]
For various reasons, people ascribe different kinds of significance to dates and numbers. For example, "the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month," 11:00 a.m. (Paris time) on November 11, 1918, was when the armistice ending World War I came into effect.[citation needed]
11 November 2011, or "11/11/11" saw an increase in the number of marriages taking place in different areas throughout the world, including the U.S.[7] and across the Asian continent.[8]
