History of Oil – Black Humor
This is a rightfully famous young English comedian’s take on the History of Oil in the Middle East. There is a lot of serious information here being transmitted through some of the funniest and blackest humor ever.
I especially like his send up of the causes of World War One …

If you have ever asked yourself 'why is there something rather than nothing' then this TED talk is for you. Jim Holt is a scientist and philosopher who has spent many years researching all the possible answers to this question. I recommend his book, but this talk will give you an entertaining introduction to his main ideas.Why is there something instead of nothing? In other words: Why does the universe exist (and why are we in it)? Philosopher and writer Jim Holt follows this q...

Did you know there is an FDA approved technique to genetically alter your immune cells by teaching them tricks your other cells already know about identifying cancer? The bad news is that so far it is outrageously expensive. The possibly good, or possibly bad, news ... is that these cells stay with you for life. Biotechnology is almost as scary as A.I.Visit TED.com to get our entire library of TED Talks, transcripts, translations, personalized Talk recommendations and more. Carl June is the pioneer ...

For those of you interested in some more complex geo-mathamatical concepts... here is a great explanation of the 'Pythagorean Triples', whole numbers that can form the sides of a right angle triangle. It has surprised me many times how important the Pythagorean Theorum is to geometry. Triangulation is a very core concept.The pythagorean triples like (3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), etc. all follow a nice pattern which complex numbers expose in a beautiful way. Brought to you by you: h...

Every time I look out the window of a plane, especially at night, I think of all the people down there looking up at the sky, wondering why they are not visited by space travelling friends, and not realising how small they are once you get up above the Earth. How would our cosmic helpers ever find us when we are less than specs of sand on a million miles of beaches?This is a motion interpolated version of www.youtube.com/watch?v=74mhQyuyELQ at 30fps.

I am fascinated by the way objects moving in concentric circles at speeds varying by their distance from the centre seem to take on a sequence of patterns as the eye/mind picks out different divisions of the whole. This happens even with things like prime numbers when you wrap them around in a spiral, but most of the patterns we see are only our minds making temporary sense out of a continually cyclically transforming reality that transcends the apparent patterns and contains all of them. www.UnderstandingSacredGeometry.com

Maybe this is what they will find when they get a tiny robot camera up into that 'void' discovered in 2018 above the grand gallery in the Great Pyramid ? Being inside the pyramid in 2017 was an eerie dreamlike experience. Like being an ant in a skyscraper. One thing that surprised me was how recently they discovered the grand gallery leading to the 'Kings Chamber', and even then the passage to the 'Queens Chamber' was disguised and hidden by huge slabs of stone. A remarkable treasure from a civilization that must have gone through many phases in its 3000 year history!Visit www.fractalforums.com !

Sometimes I come across poetry that is irresisable ~

Building a Shrine ~
My life so far
Has been like
Trying to put a very large love
Through a pinhole.
I have tried to make myself
Small enough to fit into this world.
But finally the shell has rent in two-
And the shrine of my being has emerged.
We are guided home on an invisible thread-
One day the distance between our self and the hole
Simply
Disappears.
And then the love fits perfectly.
There is so much work to do in this world
When we could simply choose
To be estastically happy.
To take rocks and driftwood and build an altar
To all that is good inside of us-
And to set our one shining life
On fire.

I think this is an important point about recognising patterns... we can never be sure they continue unless we can somehow prove that they do. We can also never be sure when we see part of a pattern, that it is what we think it is. For instance, how does this pattern continue, 1,2,3 ? Well... it could be 4 of course, or 5 if we are counting in primes. There is no way to be sure unless we know for sure what the rules are.Get 2 months of Skillshare for FREE using this link: skl.sh/majorprep Join Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/majorprep/ Follow MajorPre...

As soon as space and time can be said to exist a pulsating wave form between polarities arises
and concentrically around its centre of gravity
the nesting of all other forms is implied.
This is the same as saying that from the number 1
all other numbers must logically follow.

Our concept of what a black hole is has evolved dramatically in the last 100 years since Einstein predicted them. We have, of course, never seen one, and perhaps never will. We have seen things happening in the depths of space that seem to indicate the presence of something so attractive and energetic that our only current explanation for it is that it is a black hole. That still leaves us clinging to our theories in a hurricane of other possible ideas. - In the midst of this fascinating field of investigation, the theories of Nassim Haramein have a certain sacred geometric beauty to them. He proposes (excuse my gross oversimplification) that even the smallest pixel level of reality is basically nothing but black holes, and that particles are vortexes in spacetime connected to each other by wormholes. There is a section in my book 'Understanding Sacred Geometry and the Flower of Life' devoted to his Holo-Fractal-Theory. Read it for free online at www.UnderstandingSacredGeometry.com
