4D Geometries

Sisyphus, Golden Globes, Polytopes, and Rhythmic Cycles

by

Dave Cohen - Good Vibration Station-LA talk RadioDave Cohen (a.k.a. Davie Crockett) and I shared yet another interview on 25 January, 2015, on his LA Talk Radio show. Our conversation meandered through topics such as the rhythms and cycles, the Greek myth of Sisyphus (forever condemned to push a boulder up a mountain, only to have it roll back down again, and then endlessly, mindlessly repeating that cycle), Freud’s royal road to the unconscious and analyzing our daytime dreams as we would our nighttime dreams, celebrity acting awards, theatrical metaphors and how we all are consummate actors portraying space-time creatures – looking at our stellar theatrical performances without judgment, and higher-dimensional (e.g. 4D)  polytope animations, such as these animations (also linked from the Higher Dimensional Polytope section of the GeometryCode resources page) demonstrate. Here’s the audio from that conversation…

Sacred Geometry interview with CA Brooks

by

C. A. Brooks

CA Brooks, who hosts the “Simple Tales” show on 12Radio, interviewed me on August 26, 2014. We talked about the origins and history of sacred geometry in art, architecture and nature, the 5 Platonic Solids, dimensions, volcanos, symbols, the Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt, the seven Hermetic Laws of antiquity, golden rectangles, golden triangles, spirals, the vesica piscis, and much more. This show was evidently selected as the “Producer’s Choice of the Week”; what fun! Enjoy! :-)

I also was on CA’s other show (about A Course In Miracles) on Aug. 22, 2014; more details and the audio archive for that interview here.

torus In warp drive conceptual model

Toroids make cameo appearance in warp drive prototype

Ready to travel at warp speed? It looks like the familiar geometry of our friendly (galactic) neighborhood torus might factor into future warp drives. Here’s an interesting article and a related one: NASA Reveals Latest Warp-Drive Ship Designs – that – once again – suggests that Gene Roddenberry was on the right track. NASA’s Advanced Propulsion Lead, Dr. Harold White gives a talk about how Faster-Than-Light (FTL) travel might actually work – thanks to Dave Van Dyke of Z-Axis Graphics for this link.

… and in the ‘closer to home’ appropriate technology arena, another geometric icon, the spiral shows up in home energy systems…

Archimedes spiral wind generator

Archimedes: a new efficient wind generator design uses a spiral form

How about an 80% efficiency ratio for a home power wind turbine design? This new wind power capturing technology leverages the intrinsic efficiency of the spiral form to harness wind energy for small homes and apartments … or perhaps an array for larger systems? I sure saw a lot of larger wind turbines on my recent trip to California; wind farms in Wyoming, and in California east of Livermore over Altamont Pass, near Tehachapi, Palm Springs, and San Gorgino Pass. Why not combine solar and wind.

Martineau Solar System Geometries art reception and end of exhibit in Castle Rock, CO

I will be appearing at a “Meet the Artists” reception in the CR Bank Room East at the Castle Rock library on July 8, 2014 from 7-8PM. This will conclude the multi-month exhibit of all 12 of my “Martineau Solar System” series framed giclées prints, plus 24 framed acrylic, collage and mixed media art images by Nancy Bolton-Rawles  on display at the Philip S. Miller Public Library, 100 S. Wilcox St., Castle Rock, Colorado 80104 during regular library hours. This is the first public exhibit for either of us since we moved to Colorado almost 3 years ago… You can find upcoming, ongoing and past exhibits, classes and other events here. LOTS more details about the individual images are in the April 2014 bulletin.

Find Your Geometry Name

In case you missed it, here’s a quick, fun diversion to help you find your ‘geometry name‘ using the first letter of your first and last name. Enjoy! :-)

As always, please let me know how I might support you. Please send me any interesting items about sacred geometry or related interests … since everything is inter-related!If you would like to stay connected and network with kindred souls online, check out my pages on
Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest and LinkedIn. I always enjoy connecting with both recent and long-time friends and colleagues and discovering new friends of friends :-)Thanks for your interest & support! :-) BTW, I always appreciate enthusiastic reviews on the Amazon SGDS book page, and the newer Amazon book page for The Geometry Code. It’s a good “win-win” way to cross-promote your work as well.

If you like to color with colored pencils (or other media), make 3-D fold-up geometric art, do stained glass, quilts, geometric arts and/or crafts, or just want an extensive reference/resource of geometric archetypes, patterns and essential line art, you might enjoy a copy of my first book, Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook: Universal Dimensional Patterns.

If your leanings are more metaphysical … and perhaps whimsical :-) … you might enjoy my second book, The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation. It was originally going to have geometry and Hermetic Laws/symbolism as a primary focus, but in 2007, a reawakened interest in the spiritual masterpiece, A Course In Miracles – thanks to Gary Renard – shifted the primary emphasis to an exploration of the two thought fundamental systems we all vacillate between, and how we can gradually shift our mind’s identity to the happy one.

Goldberg Polyhedron

After 400 years, mathematicians find a new class of solid shapes

This article explores Goldberg polyhedra: quasi-spherical polyhedra-like shapes (familiar to those who have explored geodesic domes, fullerenes, etc.) that add to the existing classes of Platonic, Archimedean and Kepler solids (which include rhombic polyhedra).

Solar System Geometries per Martineau - 2014 calendar

Astronomical Geometry Calendars for 2014

The images above are colorized versions of 12 of the exquisite images in John Martineau’s “Little Book of Coincidence”, depicting the exquisite planetary mathematics exhibited in the orbital relationships of our solar system’s planets from Mercury to Neptune. Martineau’s astonishingly accurate 3-D models of our solar system inspired the calendar above, freshly updated for 2014… Here’s where you can learn more and order a copy of this astronomically astounding calendar, with the price reduced from last year as well. There’s still about 5/6 of the year left. :-)
