DocCathode, it is obvious to me that you are too absorbed in the physical world. You must learn to reach out through Spirit, perhaps in the wild parts of the Umbra will you find truth and contentment.

The Umbra certainly lead me to truth and contentment…and they make great soccer equipment too.

If the ONLY self organizing shape is the donut (see 2), I guess there is no such thing as a self organizing spiral. I guess that rules out the Hebrew alphabet too, damn.

I’ve got to ask this… Do you know what a fractal is? What does fractal have to do with attraction other than you put the two words near each other in your sentence?

Does this suggest that every wave construction is sentient?

I will stop here, I assume that the lower points rest on the upper points being true? Lets clear these up first.

Wait, wait… I’ve got it… Back to the Hebrew letters for a minute. All you have to do to COMPLETELY convert me to your wacky ideas is this: Describe some/any experiment that I can perform where I will actually SEE the Hebrew alphabet.

Aw, man…you should check out [this site](http://www.meru.org). It will all come together for you: [Golden Mean Spirals](http://www.meru.org/goldmean.html), [Seven Color Toroidal Maps](http://www.meru.org/Torus4Apndix/Appendix.html), and yes…even [the Hebrew Alphabet](http://www.meru.org/Press/Atlantisrising.html). Don’t know if he’s on to something or not, but the website’s a trip. Heavy on the graphics, though. Enjoy.

I’m still waiting for Hiyruu to explain how one is supposed to examine/prove his theory. I wasn’t being rhetorical when I asked. I really want to know exactly how he intends to gather evidence for his notions.

The ‘n’ refers to an _nth_ power.

Damn, we can read math! What PARAMETER dictates what n should be? If n isn’t tied to something, there will always be a solution. If each and every VARIABLE in a formula isn’t tied to a PHYSICAL concept, it is NOT a physic formula, it is just a math excercise.

So, what do n refer to?

that should read:

You still haven’t answered the key questions, Hryuu.

What measurable real-world effects does your Phi theory predict?

What experiment can we perform to distinguish between your physics theory and conventional ones?

Unless you can answer those, you don’t have a physics theory. You have theology.

Well, I’d like to know what **G** and **C** stand for, for that matter. Last I knew, they were “gravity” and “light.” What _units_, man?

A colleague of mine found this in a PhD dissertation:

This is Purusha Vidya, the Mathematics of Eternal Paths within human frame. Vedic Mathematics works its out within a six dimensional domain.

Perhaps not quite in **Hiryuu** ’s league, but IMHO a worthy contender.

‘n’ is variable, it can have any value, this is because of the nature of the Phi power series.

Gravity=Light\*Phi Power^n

Here is an explanation of the equation G=C\*PHI^n

Here is the quote of interest from the above referenced article.

> [@](#):
>
> (Russian) Handbook of Physics, by Yavorsky & Detlaf, MIR Publishers, Moscow.
> 
> p 650: 32.8.1. According to the special theory of relativity, the velocity v of an electron cannot exceed c, the velocity of light in a vacuum. But if an electron (or another charged particle: proton, meson, etc.) moves ina medium with a refractive index n, its velocity may turn out to be greater than the phase velocity of light, in the given medium. In this case an electromagnetic radiation is observed that is called Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation. This is similar to the Mach sonic shock wave developed when bodies travel at velocities greater than the phase velocities of elastic waves in the given medium. 32.8.2. Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation, appearing at each small interval of the electron’s path, is propagated along the elements of a cone…

So they DO apparently make some hypotheses/predictions… Except that the ones that don’t sound like complete crap (the role of emotion in stabilizing gravity… nice one) would presumably be under way, and that doesn’t seem to be the case. I haven’t heard too much about magnetic monopoles lately anyway.
