What happens when the structure of scientific thinking makes it almost impossible to think correctly?
Try thinking about Cartesian Coordinates while looking at this honeycomb.
An X-Y coordinate system makes describing this simple structure a real pain. An A-B-C coordinate system (each axis 60° from each other) would make simple work of this.
What if the structure of the universe, is, in at least one dimension, like this honeycomb? And, here we are trying to map this onto squares.
Hexagon structures are everywhere in nature. Square structures are almost not seen. If you form seven bubbles floating on the water, it will naturally form a hexagon. If you try to make make a square with 9 bubbles, it will not stay in that shape. It will slide very quickly into a hexagon, or the bubbles will pop. Only with extreme manipulation/control can you get squares.
If hexagons are everywhere, why do we force our science into squares?
Most people i talk about these things with, point out all the 4 sided boxes we live in. And i have to counter with everything AFTER Descartes defined the Cartesian coordinate system. Art, furniture, everything was much more curved… natural before this time. Pieces of furniture that have survived, are like carved, flowing sculptures. Everything after is like boxes, with boxes. Or boxes inside boxes. Or boxes stacked on top of boxes.
I do not know if we just lost the ability to create such complex structures (statements like "The Dark Ages" comes to mind) or we just started making simpler shapes because that is the tools we created, or the materials we used.
Our houses have become boxes. Our furniture has become boxes. Everything in our modern lives is boxes.
Boxes for your brain.
They say, "Think outside the box", but they don't mean it. You either think inside the box, like everyone else in your class, or you don't graduate.
Everything has become boxes in science.
Look at a sine wave. Pretty graph, but if we were used to plotting circles, it becomes a circle and an angle.
Drawing a sine wave is actually a real pain. Plotting enough points to make it look like a smooth line. But it is what we are used to. We spend most of class learning Cartesian coordinate system and a little bit at the end doing a polar coordinate system. I wonder why, since soooo much of physics is circles.
"Centrifugal forces don't exist" is something you hear in Physics 101 classes. And they break your brain, teaching you it is centripetal forces. However, if you plot it in polar coordinates, centrifugal forces are clearly there.
Is Modern Materialistic Science allergic to circles and hexagons? Probably so. And they seem even more allergic to the toroid, which is even in more places than hexagons. Circles upon circles…
When we start using base 12 when discussing science, we will see so much clearer.
| base 12 | base 10 |
|---|---|
| 10 | 12 |
| 20 | 24 |
| 30 | 36 |
| 40 | 48 |
| 50 | 60 |
| 60 | 72 |
If you look at the series on the left, it is apparent the order that is happening. On the right it is seemingly random numbers. (unless you do construction with feet and inches)
And, if we are talking about honeycomb structures, base 6 (half of 12) defines the structure in a single number. The mathematics there is beautiful.
When we talk about the structure of the universe, we will find it is composed of 12 sided, nesting objects. Beautiful, like a honeycomb, but in 3D.
Science will discover base 12 in everything, and when they switch to base 12, the universe will suddenly seem so much clearer. Future physics will be taught to grade schoolers. In its entirety.
Today we really think in boxes.
We live in boxes. We hold boxes. We make boxes.
This all came from Descartes which defined Cartesian Coordinates, which defined science for this last bit of time.
It is time that we break out of our boxes.
