Thrembo (also hidden number, forbidden number or random pseudonumber) is allegedly a "fictional" whole number lying between numbers 6 and 7, it's a subject of jokes and conspiracy theories with most people seeing it as a meme and others promoting its existence, it is represented by a Unicode symbol U+03EB. Thrembo originated as a schizo post on 4chan in 2021 by someone implying there's some kind of conspiracy to hide the existence of a number between 6 and 7, who was of course in turn advised to take his meds, however the meme has already been started. Thrembo now even has its own subreddit (though it's extremely retarded, don't go there). At the time of writing this article, not even Wolfram alpha knows about thrembo.
How can there be an integer between 6 and 7? Well, that's what
thrembologists research. Sure, normally there is no space on the number
line to fit a number between 6 and 7 so that its distance is 1 to both
its neighbors, however this only holds due to simplifications we naively
assume because of our limited IQ; one may for
example imagine a curved, non Euclidean number line (:'D) on which this
is possible, just like we can draw a triangle with three right angles on
a surface of a sphere. In history we've seen naysayer proven wrong in
mathematics, for example those who claimed there is no solution to the
equation x^2 = -1; some chad just came and threw at us a
new number called i (he sneakily made it just a
letter so that he doesn't actually have to say how much it ACTUALLY
equals), he just said "THIS NUMBR IS HENCEFORTH THE SOLUTION BECAUSE I
SAY SO" and everyone was just forced to admit defeat because no one
actually had a bigger authority than this guy. That's how real
mathematics is done kids. As we see e.g. with political correctness, with enough
propaganda anything can be force-made a fact, so if the number gets
enough likes on twitter, it will just BE.
Some pressing questions about thrembo remaining to be researched are following. Is thrembo even or odd? Is it a prime? If such number can exist between 6 and 7, can similar numbers exist between other "mainstream" numbers?
