Uh, you do realize that the Great Pyramid isn’t a natural phenomenon, right? So some of the measurements of the Pyramid have phi show up in them: All that proves is that, then as now, some folks just like that number. It’s only mystical if gods like it, not humans.
Wait. Someone measured the height of the great pyramid in inches, to six decimal places? To an accuracy of one millionth of an inch, from the base? Meaning that the base is consistently flat to a tolerance of one millionth of an inch (or the measurement is invalid taken from a datum somewhere else on the base)
Actually, since we’re dealing with millions of an inch, ya gotta ask, are these pre-1959 Imperial inches, pre-1959 US (Surveyor’s) inches (exactly 1/39.37 meters), or International inches (exactly 0.0254 meters)?
So what?
Please tell us what you mean by “mystical number”, and what the temperature was when the measurements you gave out in the first post were made and who made those measurements.
Not that anyone’s been taking the OP seriously, but remember folks: φ has but one interesting property of any note: φ[sup]2[/sup] = φ + 1. This is the only significant thing there is about φ, that it is the unique positive solution to this equation. If someone claims to have something to say about φ, but cannot figure out how it relates to this equation, then they almost certainly haven’t hit upon anything of note at all.
The measurements in the OP are worthless; there is no reason to believe those hold any relation to the actual values. On all of the Internet, they appear only in this thread and in one document by a “modern Canadian mystic and pyramidologist”, who provides no reason to believe he didn’t just make them up out of thin air, and who is, by all appearances, a woo-woo Cocoa Puffs harebrained nut.
And, yes, there’s nothing mystical about arithmetic, or anything else in math. Math is about clearing away confusion and gaining understanding, not sitting there slack-jawed in gaping awe. Good math, I daresay, should leave you saying “Oh, that’s obvious now”, not “Oh, wow! Look at the hidden magic of the universe!”
