The radius of the Earth is also 87% of the distance from the center of the Earth to the point of the exterior triangles’ intersections (AP, AQ, AR, etc.):

1.00 ÷ 1.15 = .87

The Greek foot is thought to have been developed before the size and shape of the Earth was known and independently from the foot, which is also thought to have been developed before the size and shape of the Earth was known. The foot is 87% of the length of the Greek foot.

The mile, which is thought to have been developed before the size and shape of the Earth was known, is 87% of the length of the nautical mile, which was developed specifically in relation to the size of the Earth. The nautical mile equals one minute of latitude, so 60 nautical miles equals one degree of latitude and 5,400 nautical miles equals the 90 degrees of latitude between the Equator and the poles.

The distance from the Equator to the poles is 6,215 miles:

5,400 ÷ 6,215 = .87

One minute of latitude equals one nautical mile at any longitude.

At the equator, one minute of longitude also equals one nautical mile, but at higher latitudes, the distances between each minute of longitude become shorter. Because the straight line distance through the Earth at the 30th parallel is 87% of the diameter of the Earth, the circumference around the Earth at the 30th parallel is 87% of the circumference of the Earth at the Equator, and each minute of longitude at the 30th parallel is 87% of the distance of each minute of longitude at the Equator. As a result, just as one nautical mile equals one minute of longitude at the Equator, one standard mile equals one minute of longitude at the 30th parallel.

The currently accepted value for the Equatorial diameter of the Earth is 7,926 miles, with an Equatorial radius of 3,963 miles. The ratio of the radius of the Earth to the straight line distance through the Earth at the 30th parallel is 1:1.732.

3,963 miles x 1.732 = 6,864 miles (the straight line distance through the Earth at the 30th parallel).

6,864 miles x pi = 21,564 miles (the circumference of the Earth at the 30th parallel).

21,564 miles ÷ 360 degrees = 59.9 miles (one degree of longitude at the 30th parallel).

59.9 miles ÷ 60 minutes = .998 miles (one minute of longitude at the 30th parallel).

As an alternative proof, the currently accepted value for the Equatorial circumference of the Earth is 24,902 miles, and the circumference of the 30th parallel is 87% of the circumference of the Earth.

24,902 miles x .87 = 21,664 miles (the circumference of the Earth at the 30th parallel).

21,664 miles ÷ 360 degrees = 60.1 miles (one degree of longitude at the 30th parallel).

60.1 miles ÷ 60 = 1.00 miles (one minute of longitude at the 30th parallel).

Conclusion: One minute of longitude equals one mile at (or, like the Great Pyramid, just below) the 30th parallel.

It turns out that the following 6:5 relationship in the Pyramid of Khafre is 99.9% accurate. The discovery was made by Peter Casperson in his book Den Matematiska Nyckeln Till Guds Namn (which translates from Swedish as “The Mathmatical Key to God’s Name”) published in 2004. The illustration is my own. The 6:5 relationship ties in with what I’ve written before in Taking Measure, the Snowflake and the Flower, and Cubits, among other blog posts.

The Pyramid of Khafre encodes 6:5 proportions

The outer perimeter of the egg’s cross-section is 33,333 feet assuming the eggshell has thickness of ~5 feet at the scale of the Great Pyramid. I made a similar oval image a few years ago called The Megalithic Egg but it was based on the 3:4:5 triangle instead.

The egg formed by the elevation of the Great Pyramid has a circumference of 33333 feet

“It is the mark of an instructed mind to rest satisfied with the degree of precision which the nature of the subject admits and not to seek exactness when only an approximation of the truth is possible.” -Aristotle

I made a round image (with Photoshop’s polar filter) of moai on Easter Island looking into the center, and then felt inspired to have them look at the Orion nebula. The 15 moai fit the stages of the alchemical process and I took the stage names from a fantastic novel by Katherine Neville called The Eight that I was re-reading. The philosopher’s stone naturally fits in the center as the final goal of al-kemi. I was playing with the swirling colors as seen above in the nebula or below in the chemicals of the alchemist’s cauldron. Are we looking into the heavens or deep within? They end up in the same place: awareness.

The Great Work

Here I update The Mystery of 273 image that was published in Quantification with one more fact in the upper right — The temperature of the cosmic background radiation (that’s the energy left over from the big bang) measures 2.73°K. Wonders never cease.

The Mystery of 273 (update)

Mostly I have been working on paying projects at Lynda.com lately with little time for SIPS, although Dennis Fetcho interviewed me yesterday and we talked about SIPS and Quantification.

Here is a full accounting of our solar system:

Is this the basis of the Fahrenheit scale, why water boils at 212°?

It’s interesting also that 33°F = .55555…°C

Here’s a discovery I made some time ago but don’t think I’ve posted it in the blog before. The Governor’s mansion at the top of Victoria Peak overlooking Hong Kong is 3333.3 km from Borobudur. Amazing distance between such important sites!

The Vitruvian Labyrinth

The Eye of Horus symbolizes the view of an observer, as an all-seeing-eye.

The Eye of Horus

Post Metaphysics, aka The Soul of Matter

Beauty is experienced in the world, love in the body, and truth in the mind. The eye of horus in the center symbolizes the view of any observer. The transcendentals are ontologically one and thus they are convertible: e.g., where there is truth, there is beauty and love also. The transcendentals are irreducible qualities of awareness. The triangle represents the seeming boundary between your interior sensations, thoughts, and perceptions and your exterior body, mind, and world.

Philosophy is written in this grand book, the universe, which stands continually open to our gaze. But the book cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and read the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without these one is wandering in a dark labyrinth.
—Galileo Galilei, The Assayer, 1623

The traditional Buddhist retreat lasts for 3 years, 3 months and 3 days. Makes sense?

I was Graham Hancock’s author of the month for September 2014 and wrote the following article called Measuring the Mystery.

I wrote an article called Mathematical Encoding in the Great Pyramid on Ancient-Origins.net.

Here is the universal accounting, according to cosmologists. They actually give slightly different values but I looked at the uncertainty in the measurements and think the following percentages are the canonical values, as they fit within the tolerances of the measured data:

We can’t measure dark matter or dark energy. They pass through ordinary matter without interacting. Cosmologists needed something to explain why galaxies and galactic clusters don’t fly apart so they invented “dark matter”. Then they needed something to explain why expansion is accelerating so they invented “dark energy”. These quantities are more of a measure of our ignorance. However, regardless of whether dark energy and dark matter turn out to be like epicycles in earlier cosmological models, the math needed to account for our observations is balanced using the above breakdown, and I find that very interesting.

We are in the middle of it all:

Urban Asplund discovered that the distance from the “Pyramids of the North” at Old Uppsala, Sweden is 3333.33 miles (99.99%) to the Obelisk of Axum, Ethiopia (which was stolen and moved to Rome for most of the 20th century and returned and re-erected in Ethiopia in the 21st century).

“The enormous usefulness of mathematics in the natural sciences is something bordering on the mysterious and…there is no rational explanation for it.” -Eugene Wigner, nobel laureate

“How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought which is independent of experience, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality?” -Albert Einstein

“Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.” -Niels Bohr

The galactic habitable zone is a narrow band where life can possibly exist. Too close to the galactic center and there are supernovae, nebulas, black holes, and other extreme dangers to bombardment. Too far and there are not enough products of stellar fusion, namely elements bigger than helium to enable life with carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. Looking closer at our system, we have the stellar habitable zone, a narrow band sometimes called the goldilocks zone. If the earth was too close to the Sun our oceans would boil off and too far they would be ice. Looking closer still, life exists on our planet only in a narrow biosphere, which can be thought of as a thin film on the surface of the planet, a few miles thick. Finally, looking within, conscious thought can occur only in your neocortex which is a gossamer membrane 2-3 mm thick on the outer surfaces of your convoluted brain. Your apprehension of all of the above is a rare miracle in the grand scheme of things.

The geometry of the pharaoh’s face carved on the Sphinx is the same geometry behind the design of the Great Pyramid.

The combined diagonals of the boxes bounding Earth and Moon compared to their average distance from the Sun are proportioned as the foot is to the mile (99.3%).

The average distance of the Earth-Moon system to the Sun compared to the distance light travels in one revolution of the system around the Sun are proportioned as the inch is to the mile (99.9%).

I update this post periodically with images, old and new. I have made so many images that I fear I’ve forgotten more than I remember, so it’s good for me to post them somewhere searchable like this blog.

Día Pi (π)

 

El día Pi es una fiesta no oficial que celebra la constante matemática pi (π). Se celebra el 14 de marzo en los países que siguen el formato mes / día que corresponden con los dígitos 3/14.

En los países que siguen el formato de fecha día / mes, la fiesta es después, el 22 de julio y se llama El día Pi por aproximación. Esto resulta de que el 22 de julio, o sea, el 22/7 es el valor aproximado de π (22 /7 = 3,14). 

El día Pi el 14 de marzo también coincide con el cumpleaños de Albert Einstein. Otras fechas especiales del calendario del día Pi en 2015: Será la única vez del siglo que la celebración del sábado, será un Pi muy especial: Sólo se da una vez cada 100 años. Este año, no sólo el mes y el día de la fecha (3/14) corresponden a los dígitos de la constante matemática, los dígitos del año también lo hacen. Si se escribe la fecha en el formato mes / día / año, entonces los dígitos de la fecha  3/14/15 se corresponden con los 5 primeros dígitos de pi: 3.1415.

Pero eso no es todo. El día Pi de este año va un paso más allá. A las 9:26:53 am y las 09:26:53 pm, la fecha y la hora se corresponden exactamente a los 10 primeros dígitos de pi: 3,141592653. Muchas personas están llamando a este el segundo Pi. Aunque hay un cierto desacuerdo sobre si habrá dos o un segundo Pi. Los más "puristas" creen que sólo puede haber un segundo Pi el de las 9:26:53 am, considerando que a las 09:26:53 pm en el reloj de 24 horas son las 21:26:53. 

A este respecto Jeffrey S. Rosenthal, profesor de Estadística de la Universidad de Toronto ha propuesto la designación del instante Pi: El instante exacto en el que la fecha y hora incluyen todos los dígitos de pi.

Cuenta atrás para el Segundo Pi

Una constante antigua y universal Pi (π), es una letra ampliamente conocida y una de las constantes matemáticas más reconocida, el diámetro en el espacio euclidiano o la relación del área de un círculo con su radio al cuadrado. El valor de PI es aproximadamente igual a 3.14159265, pero es un número irracional y su representación decimal nunca termina.  

 

Día paléndromo

El día Pi fue fundado por Larry Shaw y se celebró por primera vez en 1988 en el Exploratorium de San Francisco.

El público y el personal del museo marcharon alrededor de un espacio circular y comiern pasteles de frutas.

Los estudiantes, los matemáticos y los entusiastas de las matemáticas de todo el mundo celebran el Día Pi participando en actividades y concursos alrededor de pi que incluye hacer y comer empanadas, convertir números tales como el tiempo o la edad de cada uno usando pi, y recitar los dígitos de pi o ver la famosa película en blanco y negro Pi (1988) de Darren Aronofsk

Días alternativos Pi y aproximación Pi se pueden celebrar en otras fechas del calendario como:

• 22 de julio: Cuando 22 se divide por 7, resulta igual a 3.14.
• 5 de Abril: Cuando han transcurrido 3,14 meses del año.
• 26 de Abril: La Tierra ha viajado dos radianes de su órbita en el día de hoy (25 de abril en los años bisiestos). Esta se celebra exactamente en el segundo 41 del minuto 23 de la cuarta hora, el 26 de abril o el día 116. (En los años bisiestos, se celebra exactamente en el tercer segundo del segundo minuto de la hora 12 el 25 de abril o el día 116 del año.)
• 10 de november: El día 314 del año (9 de noviembre en años bisiestos).
• 21 de Diciembre, a las 1:13 p.m.: El 355 día del año (20 de diciembre en los años bisiestos), que se celebra a las 1:13 de la aproximación china 355/113.
