  2. On the magic of numbers
    On the magic of numbers versus censorship in the name of science:

    Last night I got THE LOST LECTURE OF RICHARD FEYNMAN — it’s call something like “planetary motion around the sun.”

    “Feynman’s Lost Lecture: The motion of planets around the sun.”

    So the kicker is that it comes with an audio C.D. that has information NOT in the book (even though the book contains a long explanation of Feynman’s lecture with an epilogue as well).

    The difference is that the audio lecture ends with the students at CalTech going up and questioning Feynman — all caught on C.D.

    So the lecture is all about how to derive the inverse square law (which comes from music theory). It’s been proven that Newton got the inverse square law directly from PSEUDO-pythagorean analysis of Archytas.

    So you stretch a string 4 times its length to get the doubling of frequency:

    Inverse square.

    Now then — my whole argument is that overtones are not determined by using weights as mass tension (since this goes against the law of Pythagoras). In other words frequency is inversely proportional to string length — but Archytas used string tension to get the inverse square law.

    It’s supposed to be that half the string length is the octave — not 4 times the string length.

    But the half the string length then violates time as geometric symmetry since the overtones with 2:3 as the perfect fifth and 3:4 as the perfect fourth are complementary opposites, (i.e. C to G is 2:3 and G to C is 3:4). This creates the infamous “comma of Pythagoras.”

    Greek geometry (and Western science) is based on symmetry with a one-to-one correspondence of distance as letter and number as length.

    Now then as I said there’s a secret at the end of Feynman’s Lost Lecture.

    Feynman made as PSYCHOLOGICAL error — he labeled the radius as “subprime v” and therefore the students associated the radius with velocity.

    So then one of the CalTech students asks about this and Feynman gets mad and says he can just change the symbol which he then does.

    So then the students start talking about the concept of “infinite velocity” — vis a vis gravity as attraction and electrostatic force as repulsion — both using the inverse square law.

    So then a student — the final question — asks:

    Yes but what’s the pinnacle of the significance of the radius as velocity?

    To which Feynman responds — (because Feynman’s big point was the Newton deduced from Kepler that the force attracts to the sun) —

    It’s not velocity it’s just radius — based on conservation of angular momentum.

    So then the student says O.K. but what if it was an “equilateral hyperbole.”

    Feynman says: What the hell is that? You mean 90 degrees?

    So then Feynman says you mean the radius is determined by 1/2?

    He then states — now the radius is not multiplied by 1/2 but by the square root of two.

    Now that’s EXACTLY the same point I’m making — the “pinnacle of the significance of the radius as velocity.”

    All this geometry is based on measuring time as space distance with the sun as the center (in contrast to using the CHAOTIC nonlinear resonance of the lunar-sun-earth dynamics based on a complementary opposite vortex).

    So if you use the inverse square law then you lose the octave as 1/2 and you get the new octave now converted to the tritone (half of the string length) — so that 9/8 (the major second) cubed equals the square root of two (tritone) — derived from converting 2/3 as frequency into 3/2 as geometric distance (3/2 squared as 9/4 with halving the double octave, 9/4 to get 9/8, the major second).

    In other words the physics concepts of attraction (gravity) and repulsion (electromagnetics) have ALSO been based on symmetry, from the geometric-based math with time as space. In fact the weak force has been determined to violate the symmetry, thereby creating alchemical transmutations which supposedly do not change mass (but mass itself is just defined by the symmetric-based math)

  3. Underwater volcanoes and aquatic die-off
    [quote]Two theories, which are not mutually exclusive, have emerged to explain the chemistry of what happened next, says Tim Bralower, a geologist at Pennsylvania State University, US, who reviewed the paper.

    One possibility is that the volcanoes spewed out metal-rich fluids that seeded the upper level of the ocean with micronutrients, he says.

    Tiny life forms on the sea surface, called phytoplankton, gorged on the food, and storing up carbon as they grew. They then sank to the sea floor and decayed, stripping the ocean of oxygen.

    The other is that the volcanoes disgorged clouds of CO2 to the atmosphere, warming the climate to the extent that Earth’s ocean circulation system ground to a near-halt. [/quote]

    That phytoplankton eventually became the oil we use today; so if this is indeed what happened, then the layers of irony are of almost geological proportions. 😉

    1. oil
      Yes the current theory for oil is that plankton and fish and other things dropped to the bottom, eventually were compresses and now it is oil. Similarly, forests went down, were compressed and are now coal. You can see that in the coal in some places, there are structures that are leaves and such things.

      What makes anyone think that this process has stopped? Dead pants and animals still sink to the bottom, and are compressed eventually. You get more oil.

      1. Rates
        [quote=earthling]What makes anyone think that this process has stopped? Dead pants and animals still sink to the bottom, and are compressed eventually. You get more oil.[/quote]

        I think the problem isn’t that we think it has stopped, it’s the concern over the rate at which it occurs, versus the rate at which we consume it.

        Kind regards,
        Greg

        You monkeys only think you’re running things

        1. oh yes
          Yes the rates are the problem. You and I don’t think it has stopped, the environmentalists do.

          And yes I would be very surprised if the rate of new generation was anywhere close to the rate of consumption. What bothers me is that environmentalists completely ignore these things.

          I was once a member of the Green Party here. They were all in favour of biofuels, being renewable and all that. I asked, what about the food supply, and all I got was blank stares. Not even 3 years later, everyone is up in arms about the badness of biofuels. Oh well, can’t help them.

          On the lighter side, of course I meant dead pLants, not dead pants. I am sure both get turned into oil or coal, but the pLants are more significant. Rates again 🙂

          1. Don’t discount pants
            Don’t discount pants as an important source of energy.

            Might not that be the answer behind that weird phrase, “your pants are on fire”?? 😛
