The Fibonacci Series

Fibonacci Leonardo of Pisa (1170-1250), nickname Fibonacci, was born in Pisa, Italy. He made many contributions to mathematics, but is best known by laypersons for the sequence of numbers which carries his name:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, ...

This sequence is constructed by choosing the first two numbers (the "seeds" of the sequence) then assigning the rest by the rule that each number be the sum of the two preceding numbers. This simple rule generates a sequence of numbers having many surprising properties, of which we list but a few:

Take any three adjacent numbers in the sequence, square the middle number, multiply the first and third numbers. The difference between these two results is always 1.
Take any four adjacent numbers in the sequence. Multiply the outside ones. Multiply the inside ones. The first product will be either one more or one less than the second.
The sum of any ten adjacent numbers equals 11 times the seventh one of the ten. Mesoamericans thought the numbers 7 and 11 were special.
This is but one example of many sequences with simple recursion relations.

-------------------------------------

The author goes on to explain how this is a classic example of people being bamboozled by a pattern that may explain nothing.

The author contends that the Golden Ratio is overhyped nonsense that has never answered any great question but is held up as the proof that "God is a Mathematician".

Indeed there are many people with an agenda to use science to prove their religion. We are seeing quite a lot of this in the area of quantum physics at the moment. This is a good area for such things because of the heavy reliance of quantum physics on mathematics.

The whole science of quantum physics rests on the premise of the Planck Constant, a magic number, derived as much from magic as science.

We have moved from deterministics science that is proved by observable phenomena, to a probabilistic science that is based on the mumbo jumbo of mathematical concepts and has moved into theology.

Furthermore, they have created the wonderful "peer review" process. Lots of people (who are on the same side) all chime in and agree with concepts that go where they want them to, but disagree with those that lead elsewhere. In this way a theological council is created that determines what is a Theory and what is not.

Excellent article indeed, shows why you have to dig beneath the surface of anything that is presented by our scientists. A knowledge of their agenda will usually help . People in our current society accept too much on faith yet they doubt God, how strange.

This was my favourite piece:

"Of course all of this is patently nonsense. Mathematics doesn´t "explain" anything in nature, but mathematical models are very powerful for describing patterns and laws found in nature. I think it´s safe to say that the Fibonacci sequence, golden mean, and golden rectangle have never, not even once, directly led to the discovery of a fundamental law of nature. When we see a neat numeric or geometric pattern in nature, we realize we must dig deeper to find the underlying reason why these patterns arise. "

What he is basically saying is that you should look beyond the theory because a set of facts can be used to produce multiple theory´s, often totally contradictory to each other, but each provable by the same facts.

Something to bear in mind when considering things like the Ganesh particle theory.

Reminds me of a quote by Einstein,

"If the facts don´t prove your theory then just change your facts".

This is the full excellent article.

One of the great definitions of theory is:

An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture.

What happens when you build conjecture on top of conjecture?

You enter the realms of fantasy.

Let's see if I can't wake up the crowd with the next part of my analysis. Sorry it is longish.

Many people are easily baffled by some of the new sciences. Mathematics is often used to achieve that effect. Since mathematics is such a key part of "mystery" isn't it interesting how our kids are being taught less and less well and that we have the supposedly "innumerate" generation. This is why I raised this example.

But it leads to a much more important thing. We have already touched on this in some of the other things I have posted. Science is being used to:

1) Disprove God, or erode faith in monotheism by conjecture
2) Prove the "New World Religion" of the New World Order

The agenda, however, specifically of quantum physics has been to prove the specific religion. This has led to the corruption of whole branches of science and social science to that aim.

I don´t question observable facts. These exist and by their nature, these are just that - facts.

Theories are another matter altogether. I have every right to question the assumptions on which they are based. And as for theories built on the assumption of other theories ... well .....

When you start questioning theories that are the creation of the New World Order you now get branded a "scientific heritic" in many places. Can we no longer question theories, have they automatically become LAWS while no one was looking?

A definition of theory, as I already stated, is:

"An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture."

If there was enough information to prove something then it would be a fact or a law. The FACT that a lot of our science rests on theories is just that a FACT.

What do you get when you build conjecture on top of conjecture?

A fantasy of your own creation!

So thus we have some of our theoretical sciences today where observable fact has been replaced with "probablistic" wave mathematics. We have definately entered the realms of fantasy there.

I don´t have a problem with observable facts, I have every issue with "probablistic mathematics" that can be manipulated, producing pie-in-the-sky theories that are then touted by the likes of you as "observable facts".

Perhaps what we need is a summary of the Vedic connections of those who developed quantum physics, the area of science that is most important since it will be used to "prove" the religion of the NWO.

It will consist exclusively of "uncertainty" theory and "probablistics wave" theory rather than any observable facts per se. In other words, this is science based in mathematics rather than in reality.

The Vedic scientific triangle (trinity) consists of mathematics, astronomy and geometry. From this derives everything else.

So let´s start the story of quantum physics.

Erwin Schrödinger was an Austrian physicist famous for his contributions to quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics, also referred to as quantum physics, is a physical theory that describes the behavior of matter at short length scales.

In physics, the Schrödinger equation, developed by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1925, describes the time-dependence of quantum mechanical systems. It is of central importance to the theory of quantum mechanics, playing a role analogous to Newton´s second law in classical mechanics.

He had a life-long interest in Vedanta. The Vedanta (meaning literally the end portion of the Vedas) is a branch of Hindu philosophy which focusses on the reading, and analytically interpreting the ancient Vedic writings, especially the Aranyakas and Upanishads. Vedanta is the essence of the Vedas. Various branches of Vedanta exist, each branch choosing to interpret the codified scriptures in its own way. The most important and popular Vedantic branch is the Advaita (ad- not, dwaita- two; meaning non-duality). This branch was popularized by the Hindu philosopher Shankara. (c. 800 AD)"

http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/...20Schr%F6dinger

Vedanta has influenced modern science enormously. Schrödinger was a Vedantist, and he claimed to have been inspired by it in his discovery of quantum theory

According to his biographer Walter Moore, there is a clear continuity between Schrödinger’s understanding of Vedānta and his research: "The unity and continuity of Vedanta are reflected in the unity and continuity of wave mechanics.

In 1925, the world view of physics was a model of a great machine composed of separable interacting material particles.

During the next few years, Schrödinger and Heisenberg and their followers created a universe based on superimposed inseparable waves of probability amplitudes. This new view would be entirely consistent with the Vedantic concept of All in One."

Does that sound familiar? We are at the All in One concept of the New World Religion of the New World Order.

The science has been "created" to support the religion and will be used to "prove" it.

http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Vedanta

Albert Einstein much preferred the determinism of classical physics over the probabilistic new physics of Bohr and Max Planck. He and Bohr had good-natured arguments over the verity of this principle throughout their lives. One of Bohr´s most famous students was Werner Heisenberg, a crucial figure in the development of quantum mechanics, but also head of the German atomic bomb project.

Basically there was a web of links of people who created quantum mechanics. All of them had provable links with the school of Vedanta. They included Planck, Schrödinger, Bohr, Heisenberg and von Neumann.

Heisenberg actually gave us the Uncertainty Principle.

http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/...nty%20Principle

It is this principle that prompted Einstein´s famous "God does not play dice with the Universe" statement.

You can follow similar patterns in some of the social sciences where probability theory is introduced to replace observable classical scientific methods.

Combined with the increasing use, or rather abuse, of the "peer review" system you have created the possibility of total corruption. A bunch of people create in effect a Theological Council that decides which theories are acceptable.

Observable facts have been chucked out of the window. That is where the problems begin.

yes, I have been lost and am quite content with staying that way.

Lots of heat, just add light...

I do not know about new world order, or old world order, only order.
And chaos...
Quantum mechanics is a facinating part of both. Without it, there might be
rigid order that would turn mechanics into no-longer-mechanics.

And the Vedic connection is a red herring. The science stands up for itself.

In regards to ratios, a lot of 'classical' art, the golden mean renders wonderful proportion.

The last time I tried to use my compact-disc, it gave no music. However,
it once worked. And it worked because or quantum mechanics.
Almost 30 percent of the United States gross national product (pray, let it rain...)
is based on devices made possible by quantum mechanics, such as semiconductors, lasers, my CD player, and the MRI, I had last year. Quantum mechanics helped predict the existance of positrons (antimatter), which helped
me understand the expansion of the universe. It helps us better than
anything else to date, to show the connection between light and matter.
And when I 'check out' at the store, that little bar-code is care of Planck.

As far as theory goes, I once took music lessons, and studied the general
overview of music theory. My teacher was unwavering, and the theory was adamant. Scientific theory deals with accepted principles, not mere
speculative dogma.

That was a cheap cut to Planck (nothing personal). Yes, he acknowledged
the seeming oddity that his constant was so applicable, but the fact is he
had done more research on that subject, ahead of time, than he is generally
given credit for. And not just him, alone. There were other unsung colleagues
who were interested in blackbody theory.

In “classical” atomic theory, Rutherford described a solar system for particles.
The basic flaw with it is that as the orbiting electron circles the nucleus, it should emit nearly infinite electromagnetic waves, in a tiny fraction of a second, as it spirals inwards and plunges into the nucleus.
But, that never happens, and Planck helped resolve why that does not happen.
Observations of atomic modeling contradict classical physics theory.
The quantum theory, certainly was not traditional, but are you suggesting
...what? That after all this time, it led nowhere?
Or, are you perplexed by paradox? To me, paradox is natural to the
human psyche, and may be inherent in the universe. It is like the God
Principle, in the ultimate sense.

Thank goodness the real world is not entirely classical nor quantum. On the
macro scale, the world seems to behave rationally according to the classical theory. However, at the micro level, it starts to act strange, yes, but this
keeps the harmony between the large scale forces and the more delicate
(yes) nuclear forces. I mean, the Coulomb electrical force keeps electrons
in a cloud, around the nucleus, but also adds repulsion, and this operates
in a quantized fashion. Only certain orbits within a certain radius are allowed. Orbits in between simply don't exist. They are quantized.

Without standard physics, and quantum physics, there would be no world,
classical or other, to live in. In a purely classical world, the atoms would
not exist. Electrons would be sucked into the nucleus, making the world a
dense material, in a fraction of a second. Like a nuetron star.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that nature does not allow us to measure the position and velocity of a single particle, like an electron. Shine a light on it,
and you lose it...Schrodinger said there is a wave with any particle (like the electron), and it is called the wavefunction and it is spread out ( how far, I
do not know, but even Einstein conceded LARGE distances were conceivable).
The wavefunction is stronger in one area, which corresponds to the position of the particle and gets weaker farther away from this region but still exists even far away from the core position of the particle. And all of those little quanta
may dramatically change our world one day, with the ultimate
super-computers.

P.S.
I think if you study the history of blackbody theory, you will come away
with more appreciation for the advancement made in understanding
the behavior of light quanta ( was named by a 'classicist'- Einstein).
At least, I did.

I know you want to criticize peer-review. Many do.
But it should it be changed- for what? Thanks...
Scarlet Pimpernel
Very interesting comments Shun. Thank you.

I was particularly intrigued by the comment below:

QUOTE
I do not know about new world order, or old world order, only order.
And chaos...


I have recently begun to study the works of a philosopher called Eric Voegelin. He spent 29 years studying the nature of Order and how Chaos could deliberately be instigated into it to change its nature.

This squares well with the theories of Hegel too and the use of the Hegelian dialect to alter the nature of Order by introducing systemic change into it.

The most interesting ideas of Voegelin are where he believed that the Gnostics were disrupting the current manifestation of Order.

"Voegelin on Gnosticism
Voegelin wrote extensively on what he percieved as a flawed concept of Christianity. With books like The New Science of Politics, Order and History and Science, Politics and Gnosticism he became the leader of an intellectual movement opposing what they believed to be unsound Gnostic influences in science.

Eric Voegelin viewed Gnosticism as the root of all evil aspects of modernity. He believed that the Gnostic impulse had been preserved throughout history and that the whole scientific enterprise, especially technology, was aimed towards creating "heaven on earth" and said he wanted to defend the "classic Christian tradition" against the attacks of "the Gnostics". He said all totalitarian ideologies were caused by Gnostic impulses, including Communism and Nazism."


I was interested by his works because he had gone to great lengths to prove a lot of what I have been contending. I have also traced Gnosis further back to the Vedas. They both translate to "knowledge" and I believe it was this *specific* knowledge that has come to be embodied in the Mystery religions that the Bible was warning us about in Genesis.

There is an interesting review of a book about Voegelin here:

Eric Voegelin: Restoring Order http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft0212/reviews/tinder.html

Interesting that his obsession was with "Restoring Order" i.e. the Order that the Gnostics/Vedics are tearing apart.

I am not sure if he comprehended that the purpose of tearing down order was to create a "new" order through chaos, but he definately perceived the changed agenda.

"The ancient gnostic movement was characterized by a radical dualism. The world was not merely fallen from God but was the creation of an evil God. This perception led directly to the project of escaping from the world, and gnostics typically saw such an escape as possible through a secret but teachable knowledge (gnosis) in the possession of the spiritual elite."

Yep, I had gathered the same thing.

"Modern gnosticism differed from ancient gnosticism in one crucial sense, however: rather than promoting escape from the world, it called for transformation of the world through human action. It was thus a revolt not only against the structure of things but against transcendence itself."

Yep, to tear down the walls of the old order through "pluralistic chaos within the political, social and economic fields. The real Luciferian revolt. Storming the gates of God.

The introduction of the Hegelian concept was the way to weaken "order" and introduce elements of "chaos" into it. It was through that chaos that a new form of order could be introduced since the natural state of civilisation is to order. The manipulation of some of the sciences through the introduction of "uncertainty" and "probability" and the replacement of determinism with mathematics was one of the methods. This is where the old adage "Beware Greeks bearing Gifts" is of most interest.

It is interesting that Heisenbergs "Uncertainty Principle" was based on the use of both the Planck Constant AND the Archimedes Constant. Two magic "irrational" numbers being combined to produce the probability wave. Hmmmm.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle

Within the widely but not universally accepted Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle is taken to mean that on an elementary level, the physical universe does not exist in a deterministic form—but rather as a collection of probabilities, or potentials.

Albert Einstein was never happy with the Uncertainty Principle and this prompted his famous "God does not play dice with the Universe" remark.

To say that the Vedic influence is a "red herring" is simply untrue and belies what is well known.

http://www.photonics.cusat.edu/article2.html

The article above explains the Indian influence on the development of Quantum Mechanics. Personally, I believe it goes a lot deeper and a lot of our scientists like Tesla as well as Schroedinger were influenced by Vedic mathematics in particular.

They set out to deliberately create a construct that would "prove" their religion through the new God of Science. The idea of the "Infallability" of the scientific method has been sold to a scientifically illiterate and highly gullible public as a prelude to the real "Coup De Grace" that is yet to come.

Here's some information on the Vedic influence on Schroedinger.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schroedinger

Bear this in mind when you see the veneration of Nikola Tesla in New Age circles. He was even more influenced by the Vedas than Schroedinger.
