You seem to have a remarkably geocentric view of the universe. Why should our solar system be so special?
All of those geometric constructions within orbits... what are they relevant to? You can probably subtend any arbitrarily large circle with an error of less than 1% if you're allowed to choose any convoluted set of polygons like those.
So, to be a little more concise: you don't know.Quote:
Why are you asking when you already know?
A man decided he would like to see if he can create music based on crop circles. He found a program that can create music based on an image. So he grabs a few crop circle images of interest, and uses that to base his music of.
I posted about it because the creation of music based on geometry relates to Sacred Geometry. As many people are well aware of the videos on youtube showing how sound creates geometry. Why not the other way around? So I searched online to try to find if anyone has tried to 'listen' to geometry. That was the best I could find.
What exactly is there to argue about?
Or is it, if I don't answer your question you're going to make another post about how ignorant I am because I didn't answer your question? I feel like I'm in a school playground being triple dared by a 12 year old boy.
Okay, that's fine.
The geometric deduction is just an application of the arithmetic definition. What I mean is that, the inverse of 1.61803399 is 0.61803399. It is the only number to have such property.Quote:

"Useful" is a very relativistic concept. It is the only number to have a very interesting property. Any mathematician you ask loves this property.Quote:

@ juroara:
I'm not trying to criticise, but it's very easy to come up with several geometric figures once you know the real distance. It's very easy to see figures and geometric constructions based on a few objects. If the growing distances between planets doesn't follow a rule of sorts, the not's not really relevant - just fact. But, as I said, the artistic importance is undeniable.
Also, remember that planet orbits are tridimensional - not in the same plane.
so unless you see how A relates to B you don't see any relation?Quote:

the beauty of Sacred Geometry is that everything is within a much larger picture, a larger picture that is reflected in the smaller picture. Which is why the Egyptians would say, As above so below. Sacred Geometry is about unity. And the beauty of unity.
a geocentric view of our universe? Im not sure why you would say that from merely posting two pictures.
why wouldn't other universes be just as beautiful?

If you aren't interested in Sacred Geometry, why are you posting here?
why did you end there? why didn't you also tell me how the point has no length, no width or height?Quote:
Finally - you made a mistake in your OP. The point does not define the first dimension. The point defines dimension zero. You need two points to form the first dimension (a line); three points to form the second dimension (a plane); four points to form the third dimension (space); and so on.
when the single point in Sacred Geometry is symbolic for God and transcendent consciousness, are we still talking about the same thing?
'mean' (in that context) means average. In other words, thats what it would look like if you averaged the planet's various distances from the sun during their true elliptical orbit and drew a circle with that average as the radius.Quote:

I mean really, Kepler tried to fit the planetary orbits into some significant geometric framework hundreds of years ago and failed; and he was a genius. If there is anything to find there, do you think you would do better than him?
Actually, that question doesn't really matter because I remember that you are only interested in geometric mysticism. What this really means is that you don't even care to know the significance if there really is any, you just want to be able to marvel at the great mystery of it all, and imagine fanciful possibilities. You don't really want to study anything because you know that once you find out the real reasons behind all of this magic you perceive in the world, you'll realize that it is all very ordinary and simple.
Art isn't the reason why people study Sacred Geometry. It's why people USE it, but they're not really studying it. It's why I haven't posted merely art as an example. It's not really important.Quote:

The real Sacred Geometry isn't two dimensional. Nor is it static. But not everyone is a tech wiz to make real time three dimensional models.
If there is a relationship in the static image, then I assume there still is a relationship in the actual orbit. Why wouldn't there be?
does anyone here know for certain whether or not there is? then who here can say no?
why do we have data? except to find a pattern?Quote:

Most people can't even hand draw the real Pattern of Life. It's a three dimensional pattern, with never ending circles going to and fro. Most people would need a computer program to draw this geometry for them. Maybe if Kepler was born today, with todays computers, he could have drawn his geometric framework. Maybe his only limitation was the tools he had.Quote:

mysticism means direct knowledge. it means knowing first hand. not marveling at something because you don't understand it. so its quite the opposite.
the 'magic' that you are describing is simply my belief in unity. My belief in unity is there regardless of how things work. But really, how things work has only fortified my belief in unity.
Sacred geometry is the future of science thanks to the emerging field of nanotechnology.

To understand fractals you would need to understand what a complex number is. To understand the universe you would need to understand atleast some mathematics.
P.S. Its a shame because geometry in mathematics gets more interesting at the higher levels like being able to work in higher dimensions or on non flat surfaces.
Uh... the definition of the word "point" specifically states that a point has no dimensions(length, width, height, etc.). Points are imperceptible, there are no real-world instances of points. They are mathematical constructs humans defined when the need for identifying locations arised.Quote:

Also, about the mean orbits:
3
5
16
18
23
I just picked five numbers arbitrarily. Fifteen seconds with a calculator will tell you that the mean is 13. 13 is totally unrelated to those numbers. If I wanted a different pattern, I could tell you the median is 16, that the mode is nonexistant, and that the range is 20. I can also say that the first number is 3, the second is 5, the fourth is 18, that the fifth is 23, that the last is 23, that the lower quartile is 4, that the upper quartile is 20.5(depending on which method for calculating it you use), that the first number is an approximation of pi, that the first two numbers are prime...
I can literally go on forever. All of these are derived from some sort of equation or pattern that I chose. There are ways for me to arrive at virtually any number I please from this data set. Same goes for the planets. The mean of the orbits is extremely misleading; the only reason I can think of to actually make a chart of it would be to help someone get a grasp on how far a planet is from another planet at a random time(which ends up being wildly inaccurate 90% of the time due to constant motion).
Juorara, if you stopped being so theistic about things, you'd see the real beauty about geometry - the things logic can construct alone, by the principle of non-contradiction. But nah, you have to go all the way to put some "god" into it. Human beings love to do that. Geometry is just geometry, but add two spoons of god in it, and it all turns so much more special for people like you... Geometry is just geometry, meaning, it isn't anything else but geometry. I never said geometric isn't beautiful or interesting, I just said there is no reason to imbue it with theism. Logic alone makes sure that the universe doesn't need any god to exist.
I was only correcting you on a tiny mistake. You said the point forms the first dimension and I corrected your mistake. It was completely unrelated to the discussion. I'm not here to talk about god.Quote:

Not really. Geometry is the future of science. Sacred geometry was just something a bored believer made up - pure philosophy. Atomic models being perfectly symmetric is just a representation.Quote:

A mathematical relation implies two things being related. If the cute solar system drawings don't relate to one another, then they don't have any real meaning. Atomic orbitals relate to one another, but because there are rules defining those - electroweak rules. The position of planets in the solar system doesn't follow any rule - there is no force or law telling if a planet should be closer or farther. They are just in the position they are due to occasion - "luck", as one would say. Studying distances between planets will not give you any further insight on geometry.Quote:

What's the goddamn difference between sacred geometry and bog bloody standard geometry anyway? Come on now, I want a specific answer.
Interestingly that's not true, and there's not really any reason why it should be true.Quote:

Quarks and leptons are points, and both constitute the vast majority of matter in our common experience (they make up the protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei and the electrons which surround them).
But I thought those particles had mass...?Quote:

In common experience, things with volume have mass, but you have to remember that volume is really only due to the separation of the points within the object. It's not as if mass is a homogeneous quantity spread through objects, like invisible butter.
You have to bear in mind that mass is just a constant used to describe the behaviours of objects in physics. All mass really is is a mathematical description of the tendency of a point to resist moving (intertia), or a tendency to accelerate towards other masses (gravitation).
Ah, I see.Quote:

I think there is some evidence to suggest it. But I mainly believe it because it would be extremely elegant if reality was just the moving of coordinates according to simple mathematical relationships, like Conway's Game of Life.
There's no evidence that they have dimensions anyway, and there's no reason to believe fundamental particles should have volume, or that the whole concept of volume should have any meaning other than the distance between fundamental particles, so I tend to employ Occam's razor here.
Sorry dude, your ignorance is way beyond my ability to fix.Quote:

That was completely unnecessary. Xei is right. Sacred Geometry uses concepts of quantum physics, but not the opposite. Therefore, sacred geometry isn't the future of quantum physics, but the opposite. If a field uses concepts of science, but doesn't retroactively contribute to that science, then it is a field of philosophy - as in, a field based on interpreting things from scientific data. Your fallacy is in taking cause for consequence. Xei is right, independent of Sacred Geometry having meaning or not. It has nothing to do with ignorance or interest on the subject. Just wanted to let you know. For someone who can't even express himself, you sure have a lot of strong opinions.Quote:
