Here's a website I found quite interesting... I found it searching for the exact measurements of a five pointed star (ala commie star or pentagram).

It is a pythagorean viewpoint on numerous issues, most of all regarding science and physics. There is also some (that I found) interesting critic of "mainstream scientists". Being pythagorean it of course has a lot to do with the most basic forms of systems in nature, geometry.

Read through some of it, at least, and an open mind is needed...

Ps. I would love to link to the site but I can't seeing as Im a "new member". I am actually really "old" (3+ years by the name of Dyst, but my name had disappeared). Anyways I have nothing to do with the website, I just want to discuss it. The URL is: hyperflight dot com

I just looked at this site and it is a crack pot site...


Acceleration cannot be equated with gravitation. Oh? The equivalence principle is wrong?

But that would mean that if you fell from a chair, as your falling you would feel your own weight.

Do a little experiment, see if you feel your weight while jumping. No? Then your inertial mass and gravitational mass are the same, which is good it's supposed to be.

This then is the same as saying that if you were in an accelerating spaceship (far away from any planets or stars), you would feel like you were on Earth.

Why? Because of gravity...

Einstein said it best: "we [...] assume the complete physical equivalence of a gravitational field and a corresponding acceleration of the reference system." ("On the relativity principle and the conclusions drawn from it," in The collected papers of Albert Einstein. Vol. 2 : The Swiss years: writings, 1900–1909 (Princeton University Press, Princeton, NJ, 1989)).

Unlike this crackpot's theories, Einstein's relativity is actually testable and has been tested.

The equivalence principle seems to hold empirically...poor "pythagoreans" :lol:

In fact, when stripped of the semi-mystical concept of "force", gravity is just acceleration.

The equivalence principle applies locally. If an observer could check to the right and to the left, it would be found that the gravitational field vectors due to a spherical or point mass are radial rather than parallel, so the observer would be able to make a distinction between being gravitationally attracted and being in an accelerating frame of reference. That's why the texts give an example like a person in an "elevator with no windows" -- the width of the container is too small for someone to detect that the field lines aren't parallel. Projectile trajectories will be parabolas instead of ellipses.

Well, no matter the discrepancy with applied science/math ala that which arose around counting money and applying value, I found a lot of useful info in there. Actually, most of the subjects I had thought of from beforehand from actually drawing geometric shapes and making conclusions as to what is organization (in nature) and mathematics is. Even if some of this guys theories are incorrect, at least they provoke thought and manages to not repeat what every other ignorant sob with a diploma does.
