269. Little science, great consequence

There are certain times in history when the world view undergoes fundamental shifts and the theories that may have previously seemed to be cut in stone are suddenly questioned and at the very least considered as inadequate. An obvious such point in time is the scientific revolution in the early 17th century when Galilei and Kepler introduced a totally new approach to gaining knowledge. Experiments and instruments were introduced and the first mathematical laws of nature were formulated resulting in Descartes philosophy of rational empiricism, which meant that theories had to corroborate the actual observation of nature. The broader philosophy underlying this may be said to have been deism, in other words the idea that the universe was like a clockwork which God had started, never intervened in and so would operate according to the laws of nature until the end of time.

A second significant shift in the scientific world view may be said to have come with the introduction of the concept of evolution notably through Darwin’s theory. This was not only a reflection of a new notion of time, but also a view of our origins that excluded any role of a creative intelligence behind the workings of the universe. This atheist approach to science has since then become somewhat of a dogma and has profoundly influenced the kind of questions that scientists have been asking. While the good side of this may be that much religious bias have been removed from science, the negative aspect is that it has excluded holistic approaches to it that would explain how everything in nature is connected. Thus, only if you accept that there is a unified plan behind the existence of the universe do you have any reason to consider a holistic approach.

I want to encourage the reader to consider the possibility that the work presented on this website belongs to a new and fundamentally different paradigm of science, one that uses the established methods of rational empiricism to elucidate significant relationships, but does not reject the possibility that our universe has an intelligent origin. This, I believe, is the kind of science that is at its forefront in our own particular time. I say this while anyone willing to study the material presented will come to the conclusion that what science considers their great discoveries were not only known in very ancient times, but that they actually were very advanced in their knowledge concerning the laws of nature/God.

The so called present day discoveries are at most Re-discovered. The very structure on which creation is build is fully explained in the Bible and other holy scriptures.

Each new “re” discovery often becomes the theory they wish to link in or make the soul ruler due to unfounded pride and therefore again causes a stop in the ability to see the whole. I have shown the structure which is the foundation and can, for instance, be placed over the electromagnetic field and so see its natural flow. It also reveals the framework of the non-material upon which the material is woven. One part of it is just re-discovered.

Golden ratio discovered in a quantum world.

Hidden symmetry observed for the first time in solid state matter.

Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB), in cooperation with colleagues from Oxford and Bristol Universities, as well as the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK, have for the first time observed a nano scale symmetry hidden in solid state matter. They have measured the signatures of a symmetry showing the same attributes as the golden ratio famous from art and architecture. The research team is publishing these findings in Science on the 8. January.

On the atomic scale particles do not behave as we know it in the macro-atomic world. New properties emerge which are the result of an effect known as the Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle.

Prof. Alan Tennant, the leader of the Berlin group, explains “The system reaches a quantum uncertain – or a Schrödinger cat state. This is what we did in our experiments with cobalt niobate. We have tuned the system exactly in order to turn it quantum critical.”

By tuning the system and artificially introducing more quantum uncertainty the researchers observed that the chain of atoms acts like a nano scale guitar string. Dr. Radu Coldea from Oxford University, who is the principal author of the paper and drove the international project from its inception a decade ago until the present, explains: “Here the tension comes from the interaction between spins causing them to magnetically resonate. For these interactions we found a series (scale) of resonant notes: The first two notes show a perfect relationship with each other. Their frequencies (pitch) are in the ratio of 1.618…, which is the golden ratio famous from art and architecture.” Radu Coldea is convinced that this is no coincidence. “It reflects a beautiful property of the quantum system – a hidden symmetry. Actually quite a special one called E8 by mathematicians, and this is its first observation in a material”, he explains.

The observed resonant states in cobalt niobate are a dramatic laboratory illustration of the way in which mathematical theories developed for particle physics may find application in nano scale science and ultimately in future technology. Prof. Tennant remarks on the perfect harmony found in quantum uncertainty instead of disorder. “Such discoveries are leading physicists to speculate that the quantum, atomic scale world may have its own underlying order. Similar surprises may await researchers in other materials in the quantum critical state.”

The researchers achieved these results by using a special probe – neutron scattering. It allows physicists to see the actual atomic scale vibrations of a system. Dr. Elisa Wheeler, who has worked at both Oxford University and Berlin on the project, explains: “using neutron scattering gives us unrivalled insight into how different the quantum world can be from the everyday”. However, “the conflicting difficulties of a highly complex neutron experiment integrated with low temperature equipment and precision high field apparatus make this a very challenging undertaking indeed.” In order to achieve success “in such challenging experiments under extreme conditions” the HZB in Berlin has brought together world leaders in this field. By combining the special expertise in Berlin whilst taking advantage of the pulsed neutrons at ISIS, near Oxford, permitted a perfect combination of measurements to be made. ###

A very appropriate name E8, the geometric patterns within the shape created by two overlapping circles, The Eight, and its circumference are a central theme in Genesis. Its power made those who had the Ark of Covenant invincible. Its measure was given: 1.5 x 1.5 x 2.5 = 5.625, and what did it contain? Two circular tablets written on, on both sides, and a staff that could turn into a snake, recall the story of Moses, the snake, Ouroboros , the sign of eternity, 888, 5.625 x 8 = 45 x 8 = 360 x 8 = 288. Recall also that it is said that the vessel that fell to earth broke into 288 pieces, the Torah also contains another measure: 31.25. 5625 divided by 31.25 = 180 and 180 divided by 31.25 = 576 which is the circumference of the eight.

A worldly measure was given in the story of Noah, the Cubit God told him to build the ark in 52,36, now in which part is the golden ratio found? In the pentagram “the match of hexagram and pentagram in the eight” or in the 5 pointed star that is connected to the star of David, 0.5236 x 5 is the golden ratio.

Multiplications of this measure reveal Pi, Phi, the formula of the volume of a globe and much more. This, on its own should overshadow all discoveries, should shake up the scientific community and be headlines all over the world instead of Dan Brown’s Da Vinci code etc. and this is just a little part of a great series of revelations. A real turning point in human history.
