Thread: Let's Study Sacred Geometry

Don't berate Xei for attempting to educate you. You can't title a thread 'lets study Sacred Geometry' then chastise someone for STUDYING Sacred Geometry mathematically.



This is a nonsense statement. Make up your mind.

The tone of your last post was 'I want to understand the Universe through sacred geometry but don't bring your explanatory maths into this I'm too busy understanding stuff to let facts get in the way'.

Very well understand yet unexplainable as to why they all follow the same form...

(1) Black,
(1) then,
(2) white are,
(3) all I see,
(5) in my infancy,
(8) red and yellow then came to be,
(5) reaching out to me,
(3) lets me see.
(2) There is,
(1) so,
(1) much,
(2) more and
(3) beckons me,
(5) to look through to these,
(8) infinite possibilities.
(13) As below so above and beyond I imagine,
(8) drawn outside the lines of reason.
(5) Push the envelope.
(3) Watch it bend.

All you've done now is reaffirmed my view that 'sacred' geometry is a load of superficial nonsense and nobody here can even define the thing.

Not to butt in, but you want them to define something in a scientific way when that is not the route they are going.

It's like asking an artist to explain his painting in mathematics...

I'm no student of sacred geometry - so don't all pounce on me at once - but it was my understanding that SG had something to do with all matter somehow being able to be reduced to one of 5 basic forms or solids (see Cusp's avatar), right down to our own DNA. (I've only read a little about this in the past, so I can't remember it all - but there's also the golden ratio thing that fits in there somehow.)

I think what's causing some contreversy here is that it was (for some reason) named "sacred" geometry - implying godlike or theism. But it may not necessarily be so. I think it just means that it's a basis or foundation to a much more complex 'world'. It's essentially what science is all about; getting down to the most fundamental principle of a theory. The ultimate being, the theory of everything (linking relativity with quantum physics).

So, whether you think it's 'sacred' or not, it is pretty convenient how the pieces fit together. Whether they solve any great mysteries about ourselves has yet to be proven.

Now, what's interesting is that this 'geometry' (at least the golden ratio) can also be applied to other things; like sound/music in the Circle of Fifths. Again, not 'sacred', but pretty cool!

I think it just means that it's a basis or foundation to a much more complex 'world'. It's essentially what science is all about; getting down to the most fundamental principle of a theory.

Except science is based on evidence wheras the platonic solids as classical elements were based on making shit up.
