out of the 75 votes, Newton had 25.

25 is the exceptional number factor, it happens to have its basis in the distribution of Entropy Factorization, its an “equilibrium” of systems operation factor?..this is something that I have been playing around with in number theory, pure speculation I’m afraid.

What I am really interested is the fact that, there was no time limit imposed on the vote’s (as far as I can see) , so when you called “time” and counted up the votes, the end result seemed to have certain factors that made the overall voting patterns appear, pretty concise and neat.

There are factors of constraint (choice of papers) but the voters, who all appear to expressed their “freewill” of choosing papers.

Now, if you had stated before hand that there was going to be a “time” or say a specific number of votes, “100″, then this would have, obviously, produced a different result WRT to “stastistics” ?

The winner, 1st, 2nd,3rd, 4th and 5th could have, and most likely remained the same positions, but the “after-vote” stastistical results, by the introduction of the extra constraints, would be more “false” than “true”?

This is why I stated that the thread was “perfect”, and the result was “just”!

In the spirit of fairness, I would state that, although it might be “unfair” to those whose papers were not included, from the stastistic facts that evolved after the vote, the freewill expressed by those casting a vote, was, as far as number theory goes, precise and true.

I have, I hope? just placed a hint of debate, into how one should analyze a choice, in or vote “natural-selections” processes.

It’s about freewill and choice!..it relays something about the “human” spirit, and thus the voter, votee? interaction.

If another forum was given the same choice of papers, and the vote closed when 100 votes were cast (which the voters were made aware of before hand), although some would contend that the greater majority of voters,100 would be stastistically more accurate, I do not conclude this.

There are other considerations at work!

I did not know that fact about primes. Is it a theorem of somebody I should be naming?

The total number of votes taken were 75.

25% and 75%

Quite logical really!

But, htere are interesting things to learn from the original thread and vote, I learned a number of things, the most important being the fact that I had not ever heard of E Noether?..how this could have escaped me I dont know!

As a side note Einstein recieved the votes 11 + 7

Two Prime numbers to come out of the random voting?
