    Flood terminologies in the antiquities

    ... The length, in days, of the Saros calculated with triangular figurates, the totient function, the repdigits, and the powers of ten ( Left ) VS the length calculated with the synodic month average ( Right ) The duration of the eclipse year, in days, calculated with the triangulars...

    Flood terminologies in the antiquities

    They are basically a combination of random screenshots with added text, manipulated in Windows paint, my attempt to eventually distill all my notes into a format that is both sensible mathematically ( Although I'm probably butchering anything Polymath considers rigorous math so far, lol ), but...

    Now we'll look at some eclipse cycle calculations There are several types of eclipses, and what determines the type of eclipse we see on earth, is a matter of simple plane geometry There are many different eclipse cycles, and the calculation of " exact " values is virtually impossible...

    Flood terminologies in the antiquities

    Now I want to begin to show the origin of the word values chosen for Genesis 1:1, and that requires looking at some simple geodesy ( Geodesy is the Earth science of accurately measuring and understanding Earth's geometric shape, orientation in space and gravitational field ) When you want to...

    From Whence Cometh This Nonsense?

    I'd offer that the story partially ( the crucifixion at least ) was based on the traditions of the Mesopotamian " proxy king " Tradition had it that a proxy king ( substitute ) was installed, then later killed, to fulfill sacrificial requirements of the " gods " ( Planets ) during astronomical...

    Vitamin D Clinical Trials and Covid

    I like John a lot, but just to be realistic, he was denying and ignoring that the virus was aerosolized, for months. He eventually acknowledged it, but mislead people for several months ( And got visibly agitated when corrected ), telling them it was only spread by coughs and sneezes (...

    Why don't Jews and Muslims eat pork ?

    Although the reason is usually " Because God / The Bible said so ", I think there is another reason and that's that pigs will readily consume feces, unlike other animals raised for food They are natural disease carriers, and since they are so similar to humans, ( Hence why we use pig tissues...

    Zinc and virus infections

    Zinc has the ability to destabilize " zinc fingers " in the viral genome. Has to be taken into the cell by a transporter protein ( Ionophore ) Iirc, the extra zinc basically destabilizes a fold of the viral protein, this in turn prevents the virus from initiating replication

    When I was Fourteen

    At 14 I spent my time addicted to hard drugs and living on the streets, or bouncing back and forth from attending rehabs to getting booted from good private schools Can't really recall anything good from those times, they were dark days in my life

    Flood terminologies in the antiquities

    Now we can start to look at some curious things, one of which is the fact we can obtain the approximate perihelion and aphelion distances by using the intercalary term 25,920, and the powers of ten ( In addition to the approximate synodic month average ) This is done using the cube and square...

    Is the future scary or amazing?

    I think it can be amazing if we make the right choices and horrible if we don't I'd like to see more integrations of technology and nature, like agricultural drones that provide some of their own energy by biodigesting weeds and insect pests, or drones that pick up garbage or collect it from...

    Flood terminologies in the antiquities

    Realistically, we could come up with an appropriate synodic average ( 29.53 days ) through a variety of means, but...... can we derive this month length using the triangular figurates and at the same time make this work with Mesopotamian and Egyptian astrometry / mathematics ? The answer is...

    Were did we get the idea for halos?

    Well, while some usually suggest solar deities, I'd suggest it's neither solar nor lunar deities, but the properties of light itself, and how it was seen by ancient astronomers / priests My reason would be for the fact that coronas are also visible around the moon, known as a moondog, or mock...

    Maths as a hobby

    To add, doing " recreational " mathematics really started to open things up for me Just doing random things with numbers, asking random questions " What happens if I take this and do this or that ? ", but most importantly, coming up with ways to represent what is happening with visual aids...

    Flood terminologies in the antiquities

    First, the relation between the sidereal month ( Egyptian ) and the synodic average ( Mesopotamian ). What I have found is that the Egyptians were perfectly capable of the calculation of the synodic average, but chose sidereal ( mainly ) for the use in some peculiar calculations I'll cover in a...
