Code 21
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Have you happened to read the book “Code 21”? It describes a certain mathematical structure there, which supposedly appears in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) (mainly in the portions of Genesis and Noah), and it seems to be much less sensitive to textual variations than other descriptions of letter skips. At the end of the book there is a mathematical appendix that describes the negligible probability that such a structure would be created by chance. Seemingly, it offers some response to a few flaws such as the lone sharpshooter fallacy, but I don’t have enough mathematical background to deal with some of the claims.
Answer
No.
