See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

Empiricism, finally, is to be commended not only on the ground of its greater truth, but also on ethical grounds. Dogma demands authority, rather than intelligent thought, as the source of opinion; it requires persecution of heretics and hostility to unbelievers; it asks of its disciples that they should inhibit natural kindliness in favour of systematic hatred. Since argument is not recognized as a means of arriving at truth, adherents of rival dogmas have no method except war by means of which to reach a decision. And war, in our scientific age, means, sooner or later, universal death.

Squaring the circle

The Earth and Moon’s diameters can be described as a simple ratio, 11:3, when comparing one to another. It turns out that this ratio is the solution to ‘squaring the circle’ (of equal perimeter).   The Moon describes a circle that has the same circumference as the square’s perimeter that surrounds Earth. This fact was discovered or rediscovered by the late and great John Michell.

The magic number found in these geometries is 273, or more specifically 2732.  I believe this is an overlooked constant in our matrix of reality. Here are some findings on this number.

  • The ratio of Earth’s diameter to Moon’s diameter is 0.273.  (The moon is 27.3 % the size of the Earth).
  • Comparing a square’s perimeter to a circle having an equal circumference, the circle’s diameter is 27.3% longer than the edge of the square. (easier to visualize in the illustration).
  • Inscribe a circle inside a square.  The four corners make up 27.32% of the total area.
  • This is reached through the formula: (4 – pi) / pi = 0.2732
  • The relationship  of  the Great Pyramid’s  height to half its base is 1.273:1 (or 4:π) and thus ‘squares the circle’.
  • -273.2 degrees Celsius is the temperature of Absolute Zero.
  • 27.32 is the freezing point of water on Kelvin scale (K).
  • Absolute zero of water is 273.2% colder than the temperature it takes to boil.
  • 273 days = average length of pregnancy (10 sidereal months).
  • 27.3 days = human menstrual cycle.
  • 27.32 earth days is the sidereal period of the moon (moon completes one full rotation, one ‘moonth’).
  • 1/273.2 per C is the expansion/reduction of gas (Gasses expand by 1/273 of their volume with every degree on the Celsius/centigrade scale).
  • Sunspots  revolve   about  the  Sun’s  surface  in  27.3  days.
  • Water  changes  phase  at  273°K.
  • 273  days  from   the  summer  solstice  to  the  vernal  equinox.
  • 2,730,000 is the circumference of the Sun in miles.
  • The triple point of water is defined to take place at 273.16 K.
  • The Cosmic Background Radiation is 2.73 K.
  • The Earth and Moon orbital periods are reciprocals.  1/27.32 = 0.0366 (366 days in a sidereal year) (1/366 =.002732) 27.32 days in one ‘moonth’.
  • 273 m/s2 = acceleration of the Sun.
  • .273 cm/s2 = acceleration of the moon along its path around the Earth.
  • 2732 – 2372 (its palindrome) = 360 which is a superior highly composite number, meaning it has a ton of divisors.  360 is also the number of degrees in a circle.
