Re: Mersenne's Miscelleny

"Some equations need irrationals for their solutions." I disagree. Everything eventually boils down to a finite amount of information. As such, all math can be expressed with integers and functions. The way I visualize it, in order to get a square root something must first be squared. If t...

Re: Mersenne's Miscelleny

What if there were no such things as irrational numbers? If it takes an infinite number of digits to write the square root of two, for instance, then that number cannot be expressed by any entity in the universe. If something is inexpressable then it cannot be said to exist even in the abstract. Gen...

Re: Mersenne's Miscelleny

Penrose is wrong. Anything can be modelled by a digital computer. It only needs enough memory and speed. However, that's not the same as saying that we could model the human psyche with a sufficiently advanced digital computer. It is not possible to program yourself onto the computer as doing so wou...

Re: Mersenne's Miscelleny

"Bronze, and iron after it, spread like any technology; had their use been the result of a change in "Age", surely it would have happened everywhere at once?" Not necessarily. A change from winter to spring doesn't make all the snow melt everywhere at once. Unless you're in Camel...

Re: Mersenne's Miscelleny

Would you say that the Sun would be associated with electrostatic units and the Moon with the electromagnetic ones? Could the Sun be associated with charge rather than potential? That would seem more basic and 'natural' to me.
Saturn and Jupiter are reciprocal to one another?

Re: Mersenne's Miscelleny

Zodiacs I suspect, and would like to suggest, the following. The tropical zodiac is the primary one, and that, 4000 years ago when this coincided with the sidereal, the fixed stars were employed as handy (but, as it turned out) temporary markers of the tropical signs. Ages Some 4000 years ago the s...

Re: Mersenne's Miscelleny

The time of transition from one age to another may be hard, if not impossible to predict, but that doesn't mean it cannot occur rather swiftly at some point. And just like when travelling through a time zone the 'clock' is reset immediately. All the signs move by one. What was once Aries becomes Pis...

Re: Mersenne's Miscelleny

I think both have validity. The tropical zodiac works for the qualities of cardinal, fixed, and mutable while the sidereal does for the elemental, at least in my opinion. Thus, when the Age of Aquarius occurs, Pisces will still be a water sign but shall become cardinal instead of mutable. And it wou...

Re: Mersenne's Miscelleny

"It seems to me that the houses represent the progression of an individual’s sense of ‘reality’ through a series of ‘spheres’ of increasing size. That is, each succeeding house represents a ‘growth’ from the preceding house, and each is, to the individual, a larger ‘environment’ than the preced...
