Lingua Cosmica

Posted on March 24, 2007 by PlatoHagel

It looks as though primes tend to concentrate in certain curves that swoop away to the northwest and southwest, like the curve marked by the blue arrow. (The numbers on that curve are of the form x(x+1) + 41, the … Continue reading →

The Perfect Sphere

Posted on February 20, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Before I begin I had to mention the following two entries below that I wanted to do but was short on time. This recording was produced by converting into audible sounds some of the radar echoes received by Huygens during … Continue reading →

Against Symmetry

Posted on December 14, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The term “symmetry” derives from the Greek words sun (meaning ‘with’ or ‘together’) and metron (‘measure’), yielding summetria, and originally indicated a relation of commensurability (such is the meaning codified in Euclid’s Elements for example). It quickly acquired a further, … Continue reading →

# 184 Metamorphosis

Posted on August 13, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“A Nuance” can be a compelling thing for the soul as it seeks to understand why something has caught it’s attention. IN that case, I pointed out the relation to Einstein’s “early life” and the compass as an example. IN … Continue reading →
