| | Is the water in the glass half full or half empty? If the water in the glass double every second and it takes a minute to fill up, when was the glass half empty? | | | | The Thinker

| | wait a minute...........that makes no sense!!
if the glass starts with zero or no water, then it doesn't matter how much it multiplies in how much time etz.....because it will always be zero. | | | | Raider of the lost time

| | sort of.
because you can't go forward, and there is no time, so dimensions stop existing at the point when you start at zero. or maybe it is more probable and racional to accept, that our mathematical knowledge (our menaing human's) and it's representation of the logic works dome by our racional thinking aren't enough to explain nature. of course not, if it would be different, then we would have a TOE ages ago. | | | | Raider of the lost time

It's unnecessary condition for solving this task that it takes a minute to fill it up.
If before the world existed only nothing, then this universe is half full with matter, i.e. half empty with it, or rather this universe is half full with anti-matter, i.e. half empty with it…

Only the formation of the first civilization, and how did it happen (in my political text I'm writing I acuse the belief and dogma of this). so, i don't really know much about that pyramid, what's so especial about it? ios it a TOE?  | | | | Raider of the lost time

There is also a pre-knowledge of a critical angle for the faces of the pyramid that implies advanced knowledge of forces: gravity, EM, Coriolis forces, strong-weak forces, static forces, fluid forces, wind forces, thermal forces, etc. | | | | The Thinker

| | Thanks.
actually my physics techer told me once that it is stillnot known how the Egyptians get to know this, but the pyramids get a stort of electromagnetic desviasions and other things, that when you, for example sleep in a pyramid for two hours, it is like if you had sleped ten. or also that if you live in a pyramid, then your health gets better, and you live for time.... | | | | Raider of the lost time

| | i also remembered reading something about the base of the pyramid being not a perfect square. It's more like a rhombus or maybe a trapezoid. This asymmetry cannot be by accident. There must is a hidden fundamental mechanism at work. | | | |  | | |
