that quantum effects operate only on the quantum level
and have no effect on matter at the classical level
above the atomic level. However, an experiment in 2004
proved this is not so by inducing quantum uncertainty
in a large C70 fullerine molecule.

As the sun rises, the sky turns from indigo to violet.
Rising over the horizon, colors of red, orange, gold
and yellow merge with cyan and deep blues. And as the
sun sets, the sky reverses through yellows, golds, reds

There is another way of looking at the problem of

a function of the geometry of space (Einstein's
geodesics) and that the total amount of energy (and
thus mass) trapped in the Sun's gravity bubble was
distributed as plasma according to simple harmonic
laws. From this we should be able to estimate the size
and spacing of the planets in our solar system using
only geometry - no empirical observations at all other
than to scale it to the Sun's radius. Impossible you

So, I have been having various conversations related to
the relationship between the perfect solids, the
quantum lattice and my harmonic lattice / matrix. I
really want to get a 3D modeling program and do it up
right, but attached is a 2D illustration relating to
all of this. The basic idea is that space is a very
fine field of tiny black holes that let it "breathe."
These holes perforate space and thus warp it into a
cubic grid. Within this grid light and other EM energy
flows along the lines of the cubes while crystallized
energy or particles collect inside the cubes around the
black holes. These comprise atoms which all have
different harmonic properties and geometries that
resonate in the lattice, bonding with neighboring
elements depending on harmonic compatibility. Space
itself acts as a subtle resonator (zero-point energy)
to keep electrons moving and to help atoms bond into
larger crystalline structures.

There are many harmonic properties of the solar system,
but perhaps the most amazing is this:
Sun radius / Mercury semi-major axis = 12 / 1000
695,000km / 57.91666Mkm = 12 / 1000
That is, the ratio of the Sun's sphere to Mercury's
sphere measured from the center of the solar system is
12:1000.
In general, the Gaussian Interference function
introduced in the book (which also balances at a
resonance value of 12) can also be found to describe
the cycle of sun spots. We are currently in a solar
minimum with the fewest sunspots since at least 1913.
Many of the intersection points of the sunspot cycle
happen to correspond to recent events and may offer a
broad predictor of future novelty events. This analysis
uses the Reflective Interference function to compare
the solar cycle to our social cycle, suggesting a
causal link between the two.

In a recent email exchange the subject of spirituality
came up, prompting me toward this subject. I have
refrained from explaining my views on this previously,
whether in articles, books or this web site, in an
effort to keep the subject unencumbered by a particular
view point concerning my "beliefs." I should say that
what I believe has been and continues to be guided
mostly by an objective study of nature (not necessarily
science). The deeper I dig into nature, the more it
seems to me spiritual in a very rational and
quantifiable way. This is my summary view...

Some have even purchased tuning forks tuned to its

Subsequent to the publishing of an article I wrote for
NEXUS magazine, I was contacted by one Einar
Thorsteinn, a geometer and modern artist outside of
Berlin. He introduced me to his 5-fold geometry system,
which we called FANG, and a unique star-like geometry
he called Thorsteinn's Star. After corresponding for a
while, he sent me a DVD-ROM filled with information
about this system which he had published some years
back with a Foreword written by his friend Buckminster
Fuller. I have just begun to review this fantastic
geometry, but it appears to me to be a way to view
5-fold geometry (a pentagram) from an isometric angle.

In communicating with Icelandic geometer Einar
Thorsteinn living in Germany, I shared what I consider
a very important ratio related to resonance in harmonic
interference. Specifically, a couple of years ago I had
found the ratio 1:81 = 0.012345679... built into the
dimensions of
Rosslyn
chapel. I found that its repeating digits
represents a natural resonance proportion in any
harmonic standing wave, specifically as a 2:81
halo gap around the proportion of 5:3 (a musical
major 6th) between any two coherent standing wave
sources (tone, light, atoms, whatever). This is
discussed in detail in my book.
But Einar pointed out that this proportion also
represents the volume of a tetrahedron placed inside a
larger tetrahedron such that its four points touch the
incenter of each of the faces of the outer tetrahedron,
assuming that the larger tetrahedron is inside a cube
with volume equal to one...

In looking at some pictures of planets in the solar
system, it occurred to me that the large storm on
Jupiter, called the Great Red Spot, was in about the
same proportion along its axis as the largest harmonic
gap in the interference pattern of two tones diverging
over an octave. So, I thought I would compare the
spectral analysis used in my book to Jupiter to see how
it compared. This is what I found.

One of the key principles of harmonic interference
theory is life grows according to the same principles
of harmonic resonance and damping found in acoustical
vibration. For instance, a skeleton is a crystalline
lattice that results from harmonically damped regions
of the body. Similarly, a cymatic resonance pattern
results from damped areas on a vibrated surface where
sand or salt particles accumulate into calm regions. A
side-by-side comparison of the two indicates how the
human hand grows according to the same geometry as a
pentagonal cymatic interference pattern.

I have always wanted to take the time to understand how
a highly variegated leaf, such as those on the post oak
tree native to north Texas, grows the way it does. This
analysis helps explain how this occurs as a balance
between resonance and damping, which by inference helps
explain how plants and all life grows.

While working on the harmonic lattice described in the
book, I discovered that Phi (the golden ratio equal to
1.618033...) and e (the natural logarithm equal to
2.71828...) have a common factor of almost 1.68. I
mentioned then that I thought that Napier used this
number instead of the golden ratio to avoid offending
the Church, who knew it to be a pagan number). As a
result, modern science bases all of its study of nature
on e instead of Phi, though it could have just as well
used Phi as I did in my calculations. There in another
interesting relationship between these two irrational
and infinite numbers...

In trying to explain the role of harmonic damping in
both the formation of our solar system and life on our
planet to a graduate astrophysics student about a year
ago, I offered a simple question. The question was
"What do a bug and an egg have in common." Mainstream
science does not normally discuss such things because
there is no unifying theory that explains why life
takes the shapes it does. This entry is an attempt to
show a connection between these two natural life
formations in the behavior of standing waves.

from the spot where a UFO is said to have crash landed
over sixty years ago. Now I don't believe for a minute

This blog is intended as an exploration of some of the
more exotic and controversial ideas related to harmonic
science. The views expressed do not necessarily
represent my decided opinion about a given topic - only
areas of interest that I am exploring that could
eventually lead to something useful. I have found that
staying open-minded to even the strangest (and
silliest) ideas will sometimes lead to valuable
insights and discoveries.
To kick things off, I would like to explore the idea
that a human heart functions harmonically according to
the recursive Mandelbrot Set fractal.
