Thread: Let's Study Sacred Geometry

I'm not going to respond to the rest but this makes me very curious about "sacred geometry". Specifically, in real geometry one can only construct the n-gons where n is equal to some power of two times some number of distinct fermat primes. I believe Gauss proved this.

Given a circle, can you guys construct a square with the same area? Can you trisect angles? "Sacred geometry" seems too good to be true....

Yes, that is called 'squaring a circle' and was used in building foundations for temples and cupolas with a dome. Trisecting angles is easy. All you need is a compass, a strait edge, and a pencil, and paper.
STONEHENGE BUILT FROM A SQUARED CIRCLE AND A SIX POINTED STAR:



I think that it is cool, that if one has studied astrology, that the aspects between different planets form geometric angles and shapes that are interpreted from the meanings of the angles and shapes of sacred geometry.

Another thing about sacred geometry: The VESICA PISCIS!
