...216 can be further rewritten as 3 3 + 4 3 + 5 3 , 6 3 , and 35×6+6, which also show that 216 is the sum of the cubes of 3, 4, and 5, which have been respected since the Pythagoreans as numbers representing the elements of the universe, the cube of the marriage number 6 (3 men × 2 women), and the sum of 6 times the harmonic number 35 (6 + 8 + 9 + 12) and the marriage number 6. On the other hand, if we consider 12,960,000 = 360 × 36,000, it refers to 36,000 years with 360 days in a year, which corresponds to the so-called "magnus Platonicus annus" (also called the Platonic year or simply the great year). The "Plato's Great Year" is now generally understood to be the time it takes for the vernal equinox to go around the ecliptic due to precession (about 26,000 years), but in ancient times it referred to the time it took for the eight celestial bodies (the sun and seven planets) orbiting the Earth to return to their original positions, and 36,000 was sometimes called the "perfect number" and was considered a sacred cycle in which the universe was renewed. *Some of the terminology that mentions "magnus Platonicus annus" is listed below.

…216はさらに,33+43+53,63,35×6+6の形に書き直せるが,これらはそれぞれ216が,ピタゴラス学派以来宇宙の要素を表す数として尊重された3,4,5の3乗の和,結婚数6(男性数3×女性数2)の3乗,調和数35(6+8+9+12)の6倍と結婚数6の和であることをも示す。一方,12960000=360×36000と考えれば,1年を360日とした場合の36000年を指すことになるが,これはいわゆる〈プラトン大年magnus Platonicus annus〉(プラトン年Platonic yearまたは単に大年great yearともいう)に一致する。〈プラトン大年〉とは,現在では一般に,春分点が歳差によって黄道を一周するのに要する時間(約26000年)とされているが,古くは,地球をめぐる8天体(太陽と7惑星)が元の位置に戻るのに要する時間をいい,36000は〈完全数〉の名で呼ばれることもあって宇宙の更新が行われる聖なる周期と考えられていた。… ※「magnus Platonicus annus」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
