What is the 11 trying to tell us?
One should draw their own conclusions as to the significance of these numbers and what they might mean within the context of these seemingly random historical and modern events.
Often, we see what we want to see and when we are looking for something we tend to find it.

- The binary numeral system, or base-2 number system represents numeric values by using two symbols: 0 and 1. The binary system is used internally by almost all modern computers. The modern binary number system was studied by Gottfried Leibniz in 1679. Leibniz's system uses 0 and 1, like the modern binary numeral system. As a Sinophile, Leibniz was aware of the I Ching and noted with fascination how its hexagrams correspond to the binary numbers from 0 to 111111, and concluded that this mapping was evidence of major Chinese accomplishments in the sort of philosophical mathematics he admired.
For most practical purposes in modern society, we use the decimal number system which has ten unique digits, 0 through 9. All other numbers are then formed by combining these ten digits. Computers are based on the binary numbering system, which consists of just two unique numbers, 0 and 1. All operations that are possible in the decimal system (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) are equally possible in the binary system. We use the decimal system in everyday life because it seems more natural (we have ten fingers and ten toes). For the computer, the binary system is more natural because of its electrical nature (charged versus uncharged). - In Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Konqueror for KDE, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer for Windows, the function key F11 key toggles full screen viewing mode.

- This is a fun little math trick that applied to the year 2011, but you can still try it now. Add the last two digits of the year that you were born to how old you turned 2011.
