I would argue that the only thing making anything sacred is the beliefs of the person or people who believe in that thing.
The Bible or the Quran are only “sacred” because people say so.
I’m with Pythagoras on this one.

I got downvoted on r/spaceporn because I replied to someone who said “this galaxy is the Fibonacci sequence.” When I asked how, it made the folks there upset lol. They would Just post the sequence of numbers, which is obviously not an explaination.
Left the fuck outta that sub. Pics are cool, but r/astrophotography is waaaaay better, and less filled with morons

I mean, 299,792,458 is kind of a sacred number, as far as we can tell so far.
