I'm glad other folks >are interested in this same phenomenon...Hstick The bible has both "in the beginning was the word" and also "let there be light". If the substance of the universe, the aether, is taken as a medium then the speed of sound in the aether is what we know as light The aether is very high tensile stuff). So these two statements are in agreement. It is true as Neil says that ancient knowledge and religions are all similar in describing the universe. Pythagoras (who is, I suppose, the patron saint of tuning) of course also described things in greater depth in the same way. While we may see the ancient knowledge as poetic rather than scientific, my research has turned out to be mainly rediscovery as I have realised that lots of the stuff has been known before. Even the numbers that I get for the strongest harmonics, ... 144, 288, 1440, 2880, 8640, 17280, 34560 ... are to be found in ancient religious documents, often with a few extra noughts on. The bible has 144,000 and the Vedic literature is full of these numbers. The only thing is that people have forgotten what they mean. The three most important harmonic relationships are those involving 2, 3 and 5. When we include one, two or three of these we can view the most important ratios as follows... A. We know 2 as the octave and it is so important that we call different notes at a ratio of 2 by the same name. B. According to the harmonics theory, the primes 2 and 3 like to occur with a relative commonness (I avoid frequency as ambiguous) of 2.38 to 1 and so this is most nearly approximated by the numbers 12 and 24 which have 2 or 3 "2"s present for 1 "3". Again, 288 has a near correct proportion. Therefore these ratios should be important in both time and space. C. When 5 is also added the ideal proportion happens most nearly for 2^8 * 3^3 * 5^1 or 34560 although 2880 is also important. These results are all 100% mathematical and based soley on that tiny basic program I posted. If we look at the universe what do we find? Starting from the largest scale, the observable universe is about 10 billion light years in radius. Division of this by 34560 repeatedly gives us the following values for distances ... Table of ratios of 34560 from the Observable Universe N 10^28 cm Feature Common Units / 34560^N 0 1*10^28 cm Universe 10^10 light years 1 2.9*10^23 cm Galaxies 3*10^5 light years 2 8.8*10^18 cm Stars 8.9 light years 3 2.4*10^14 cm Planets 16 a. u. 4 7.0*10^9 cm Moons 70,000 km 5 2.0*10^5 cm X? 2 km 6 5.9 cm Y? 5.9 cm 7 1.7*10^-4 cm Cells 1.7 microns 8 4.9*10^-9 cm Atoms 0.49 Angstrom 9 1.4*10^-13 cm Nucleons 1.4 fm 10 4.0*10^-18 cm Quarks What we find is that the observed structures do match the scales predicted. We see the universe as galaxies, stars, planets... and atoms and particles. The predicted values for the atom and nucleon are quite accurate as the observed Bohr radius is 0.53 angstrom and the observed nucleon radius is 1.3 fm. The X and Y scales are not so noticable. However there are some anomolous phenomena at these scales (or slightly smaller, about 1.7 km/1 mile and 5 cm/2 inches). Quark size has not yet been established but is less than 10^-17 cm and so they are almost to the next level that I predict. Also, within each level there are expected to be multiple sublevels at ratios of mostly 12 or 24 but sometimes 20 or 28. This is also observed. Above galaxies we have the weker level of galactic clusters and small irregular galaxies are found at distances of 1/12 of the large spirals (these are the small hangers on to the andromeda galaxy and out own magellanic clouds that look so nice in our southern skies). Again, planets come in two sizes and distance scales. The gas giants are at distances which are ~28 times greater than the terrestrial type planets from the sun. The distances of the outer planets are very nearly in the proportion 1:2:4:6:8 and so includes quite a few ratios of 2 as well. There are further examples also. -- Ray Tomes -- rtomes@kcbbs.gen.nz -- Harmonics Theory -- http://www.kcbbs.gen.nz/users/rtomes/rt-home.htm Received: from ns.ezh.nl [137.174.112.59] by vbv40.ezh.nl with SMTP-OpenVMS via TCP/IP; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 08:08 +0100 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA03785; Tue, 4 Mar 1997 08:08:58 +0100 Received: from ella.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA03762 Received: from by ella.mills.edu via SMTP (940816.SGI.8.6.9/930416.SGI) id XAA28938; Mon, 3 Mar 1997 23:07:27 -0800 Date: Mon, 3 Mar 1997 23:07:27 -0800 Message-Id: Errors-To: madole@mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@ella.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@ella.mills.edu
