  • The Mars Pentad Time Pyramids the Quantum Space Time Fractal Harmonic Codex the Pentagonal Pyramid
    The Mars Pentad Time Pyramids The Quantum Space Time Fractal Harmonic Codex The Pentagonal Pyramid Abstract: Early in this author’s labors while attempting to create the original Mars Pentad Time Pyramids document and pyramid drawings, a failure was experienced trying to develop a pentagonal pyramid with some form of tetrahedral geometry. This pentagonal pyramid is now approached again and refined to this tetrahedral criteria, creating tetrahedral angles in the pentagonal pyramid, and pentagonal [54] degree angles in the pentagon base for the pyramid. In the process another fine pentagonal pyramid was developed with pure pentagonal geometries using the value for ancient Egyptian Pyramid Pi = [22 / 7] = [aPi]. Also used is standard modern Pi and modern Phi in one of the two pyramids shown. Introduction: Achieved are two Pentagonal Pyramids: One creates tetrahedral angle [54 .735~] in the Side Angle {not the Side Face Angle}, using a novel height of the value of tetrahedral angle [19 .47122061] / by [5], and then the reverse tetrahedral angle is accomplished with the same tetrahedral [19 .47122061] angle value as the height, but “Harmonic Codexed” to [1 .947122061]! This achievement of using the second height mentioned, proves aspects of the Quantum Space Time Fractal Harmonic Codex. Also used is Height = [2], which replicates the [36] and [54] degree angles in the pentagon base to the Side Angles of the Pentagonal Pyramid. I have come to understand that there is not a “perfect” pentagonal pyramid. No matter what mathematical constants or geometry values used, there will be a slight factor of error inherent in the designs trying to attain tetrahedra.

  • Seven Wonders Time:​ 30 Minutes Level:​ Beginner
    Lesson Five: Seven Wonders Time:​ 30 minutes Level:​ Beginner Intro The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were architectural feats recorded by ancient historians, writers and scholars in the western world - the list is limited geographically to the mediterranean, the centre of ancient western civilization. The only remaining wonder in the present day is the Great Pyramid of Giza, which is also the oldest. The rest have all been destroyed by weather, war or nature. Today we’re going to learn a little bit about each one: The Great Pyramid of Giza The pyramids are, in many ways, the most famous ancient wonder of the world. Whether that’s attributed to their mystery, incredible feat of construction, or their sole survival (out of all of the ancient wonders) into the modern era, all marvel at their magnificence. The Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed around 2589-2566 B.C. during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu. It stood about 147 meters tall and its base was approximately 230 meters in length. The second pyramid was created for Khufu’s son, Pharaoh Khafre, in 2558-2532 B.C. Within the pyramid’s complex at Giza was the largest statue in the world at that time, known as the Great Sphinx (a man’s head on a lion’s body), standing 240 feet long and 66 feet tall. The last pyramid was built around 2532-2503 B.C. for Khafre’s son, Pharaoh Menkaure. It was the shortest of the three pyramids in this ancient wonder, standing at only 216 feet tall. It took over 2.3 million blocks of limestone, 100,000 men, and 20 years to construct the greatest architectural achievement in the ancient world.

  • Originality Statement
    PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Hosseinabadi First name: Sanaz Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Architecture Faculty: Built Environment Title: Residual Meaning in Architectural Geometry: Tracing Spiritual and Religious Origins in Contemporary European Architectural Geometry Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Architects design for more than the instrumental use of a buildings. Geometry is fundamental in architectural design and geometries carry embodied meanings as demonstrated through the long history of discursive uses of geometry in design. The meanings embedded in some geometric shapes are spiritual but this dimension of architectural form is largely neglected in architectural theory. This thesis argues that firstly, these spiritual meanings, although seldom recognised, are important to architectural theory because they add a meaningful dimension to practice and production in the field; they generate inspiration, awareness, and creativity in design. Secondly it will also show that today’s architects subconsciously use inherited geometric patterns without understanding their spiritual origins. The hypothesis was tested in two ways: 1) A scholarly analysis was made of a number of case studies of buildings drawn from different eras and regions. The sampled buildings were selected on the basis of the significance of their geometrical composition, representational symbolism of embedded meaning, and historical importance. The analysis clearly traces the transformation, adaptation or representation of a particular geometrical form, or the meaning attached to it, from its historical precedents to today. 2) A scholarly analysis was also made of a selection of written theoretical works that describe the design process of selected architects.

  • Top Ten Construction Feats to Visit
    Top Ten Construction Feats to Visit The world’s most impressive building efforts still standing: 10.) Great Wall of China Built over two millennia and reaching across more than 4,000 miles of mountainous terrain, the Great Wall is one of mankind’s most ambitious and long-winded construction projects. Aimed at keeping out foreigners, the Wall now attracts them from all over for a windy, brick- laden photo op. 9.) Taj Mahal Started in 1631 by Shah Jahan, the Taj is one of the world’s most beloved landmarks and a testament to a (very wealthy) ruler’s love for his wife. Taking two years, 20,000 workers, and 1,000 material-hauling elephants to complete, the striking tomb and 42-acre grounds in Agra is considered the jewel of India. 8.) Millau Viaduct Spanning the valley of the river Tarn, this cable-stayed bridge is nearly 2,500 meters long and 343 meters high, this Fosters + Partners project took three years to complete a cost of nearly €400 million. Seven reinforced concrete pylons hold up the iconic structure, which has won several awards. 7.) Hagia Sophia The largest cathedral in the world for over 1,000 years, this former Byzantine mosque and church was one of the first experiments in indirect load transfers, boasting stacked domes that culminate in a main dome rising more than 183 feet into the air and spanning more than 100 feet wide. 6.) Colosseum This engineering marvel could house up to 50,000 blood-thirsty patrons, standing 157 feet high, 620 feet long, and stretching more than 510 feet wide.

  • Egyptian Architecture, Posadas' Metaphor for Composition
    Bridges 2011: Mathematics, Music, Art, Architecture, Culture Egyptian Architecture, Posadas’ Metaphor for Composition José L. Besada Portas E. A. Esthétique, musicologie, danse, création musicale Université Paris 8 2 rue de la Liberté 93526 Saint-Denis, France E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Over the years, but especially along the twentieth century, many composers have focused their gaze towards Architecture. Alberto Posadas’ music often resorts to the use of exogenous models, mainly scientific and artistic ones, as a starting point to compose. This paper analyzes – summoning archeology, epistemology, mathematics and esthetics – the way he has used the magnificent Sneferu’s Bent Pyramid at the royal necropolis of Dahshur (Egypt) as an inspiring object. This architectonic model has been useful for him to raise a dense network of metaphors that links spatial aspects of the building with temporal aspects and hierarchic parameters in his quintet Nebmaat. Brief Historical Review It is hard to understand Music as a self-referential discipline. From Ancient Greece and even in non- Western previous civilizations [4], musical thought has been closely linked to numbers. Greek musical legacy shows the discussion between Pythagorean conception of Harmony as arithmetical ratios and Aristoxenus’ advocacy of hearing as the primary basis for a musical theory. Tardive readings in the Middle Age of Boethius’ texts reintroduced in the Christian World these Greek questions (via quadrivium and supported by Archytas’ conception of Maths). Throughout the centuries, many theoretical discussions have inherited these approaches, but in quite different contexts and formulations; hence, as Michel Serres says, “la musique n’a jamais cessé de rester grecque” (“music has never ceased to remain Greek”) [16].

Each relates to an extraordinary ratio that is highly efficient in nature, profoundly attractive to the human eye, and some claim, even divinely inspired. This special ratio is referred to as the “Golden Ratio” and is also known as the divine proportion, golden section, and golden mean. The Golden Ratio has a constant numeric value called “phi” (pronounced “FEE,” or “FI”) which is thought to be the most beautiful and astounding of all numbers.

  • Dennis-And-Others-Noahs-Ark
    Dennis and others - It it incredibly vital - yea, altogether biblically essential - that the dimensions of Noah's Ark be maintained in their pristine calibrations/calculations, lest their prophetic and overall biblical impact be lost in the eddies of these extra- biblical subterfuges. Deception comes in a variety of packages - archaeology can and cannot be a friend of the Bible's account. Noah's Ark's dimensions are of profound consequence. Once, and we have done so irrefutably, confirm that the Sacred Cubit's measurement is 25.20" or 2.1 Ft.reveals the brilliance of the Ark's accounting, then and only then can it readily take on cosmic meaning...and it most certainly does. Please read my article here found at World Mysteries on the SUPERIORITY of the 25.20" Sacred Cubit's dimension: THE SUPREMACY OF THE SACRED CUBIT Likewise, may I draw your attention to the PERFECT SQUARING OF THE CIRCLE by use of the Sacred Cubit and the Sacred Cubit alone in that same article upon the Great Pyramid of Giza: As a mathematician I can assure you that the above phenomenon is NOT suppose to happen - but it does! Please, this is not some Free Masonry invention of mine but a declaration of the Divine Measurements incorporated into the Great Pyramid of Giza with the precise invention by yours truly of GIZA PI using the precise height of the GPG to be 480.9Ft. divided by the 153 fish caught by Jesus/Peter in John 21 connoting "GAL" as a 'circle' at the Sea of GALilee.

  • The Relation of Golden Ratio, Mathematics and Aesthetics
    Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2018, 14(1): 188-199 188 TUTA/IOE/PCU © TUTA/IOE/PCU Printed in Nepal The Relation of Golden Ratio, Mathematics and Aesthetics Gyan Bahadur Thapa1, Rena Thapa2 1Department of Science and Humanities, Pulchowk Campus, IOE, Tribhuvan University, Nepal 2Fine Art College, Bhotahity, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: Dec 5, 2017 Revised: Feb 15, 2018 Accepted: Feb 20, 2018 Abstract: The Golden Ratio, mathematics and aesthetics are intricately related among each other. In this paper, we exhibit the presence of mathematics in aesthetic impression that appears in nature, classic art, architecture, logo design and much more. The divine proportion can be found in music, poetry and other forms of art, however our focus here is only in the visual ones. The Golden ratio is considered sacred due to its relationship to nature and even the construction of the universe and the human body. It has been used for centuries in the construction of architectural masterpieces by the great artists, who, being able to see its beauty used it in their designs and compositions. We explain how the applications of the Golden ratio in architectures, paintings and geometrical shapes create the mystery of beauty. Further we present the existence of the divine proportion in human body and natural flora and fauna. There are a diverse number of directions, paths and tangents to which the study of this beautiful concept could take us. Besides mathematicians and artists, we expect that this paper will be interesting for general readers as well.
