I had to post here because this really bothered me.
The eye is suppose to be 1 whole piece right?
Well if you add up all the pieces it doesn't equal 1
Proof:
1/64 + 1/32 +1/16 + 1/8 + 1/4 + 1/2
Lets get a common denominator, in this case lets use 64
1/64 + 2/64 + 4/64 + 8/64 + 16/64 + 32/64 = 63/64
Sorry but this sounds like nonsense to me. The eye doesn't even add up.
In order for it to equal 1 it has to be 64/64
Deny ignorance

It is "significant" because it is absolute hard proof that our institutions of academia are not entirely correct in their assumptions/beliefs.
If our own academic institutions are not factually correct, than who can you trust?
The point is that unless the academic institutions are willing to admit their faults and correct them, than we as a species are screwed because the purpose of scientific investigation and development is to prove our past beliefs wrong and to embrace new evidence if it can be verified.
The only significance here really is that our institutions have failed us miserably when it comes to upholding their supposed "mission".
Don't you think that some house cleaning is in order?

I agree let's deny ignorance by questioning our beliefs.
What you have revealed is actually quite interesting and startling.
Could it be possible that this is on purpose? 63/64?
What could it possibly mean if it was done purposefully?
You gotta admit, getting 63/64 is quite bizarre within itself.
Could it also be possible that our own interpretation of the values is incorrect and some of the ratios presented are not consistent with what it was originally intended to be by the creator?
There are many questions but few answers. Any speculation you may have would be greatly appreciated, as I am open to any suggestions or thoughts you may have about this eccentricity.
Thank you very much for posting and keeping this discussion going.

However, despite such a well thought out response that involved the break-down of each question, you didn't really answer my main question. What do you personally believe is the best current explanation for our creation.

Well, Thanks for that, as I now know not to read any further into your posts. lol

er, whatever you pretend to be.
Because in the 1800s a man will have found a space ship and that space ship will change your matrixe in an split instance. This is not something we wanted to do, but we had to do. That one space ship leads to 80 % of the high advanced technology that you have today. To make along story short prophet. Germany would have had the only nukes on the entire planet.
One race would have had gunpowder, another race would have had bows and arrows and one nation with nukes. We had to have slavery; it was a must to mix the races up across the earth so one race would not dominate the world as one race.not just for the hitler event but for all future events.
Destiny can only be changed but so much

Now thats what I meant . And I am also leaning toward the same theory. And I approach it much like you do. By weighing things on a scale. I do that with most things that dont have definitive answers or are opinionated.
I've, also noticed that one of the best ways for me to grasp creation is to stop, relax, and think after each large session of absorbing information. I just think while listening to music or enjoying the beauty of nature. Every time I just look at things as broadly as I possibly can, Aliens or intelligent intervention in our past seems to be evident.

Oh definitely. We all need to take time and reflect and ponder things.
Once you stop reading for a few minutes and start really thinking solo about it (or discussing with a like minded friend in person), you will start having all sorts of amazing connections and very hard questions.
Stepping back is a very critical part of the process. You are absolutely right.
Also something I noticed, is that a lot of really good ideas will hit you when you are going to the restroom (because that is a moment where your mind is isolated and reflecting while you take care of biological functions).

Forgive my ignorance, but I dont get it.
In the Ancient Egyptian measurement system, the Eye Of Horus defined Old Kingdom number one (1) = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + 1/64, by throwing away 1/64 for any rational number. Eye of Horus numbers created six-term rounded-off numbers. The Old Kingdom definition has dropped a seventh term, a remainder 1/64, that was needed to report exact series. During the Middle Kingdom that included the eleventh through fourteenth dynasties, exact series definitions and applications were often written by 6-terms, or less. The Egyptian fraction notation scaled to volume unit remainders to 1/320 hekat. For example, the Egyptian Mathematical Leather Roll, the RMP 2/n table and the Akhmim Wooden Tablet wrote binary quotients and scaled remainders. The metaphorical side of this information linked Old Kingdom fractions 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, and 1/64, to separate parts of the eye.
The "Eye of Horus" fractions were further discussed in the Egyptian Mathematical Leather Roll following elementary definitions that built the Egyptian fraction system. Weights and measure subunits of a hekat were also connected to Eye of Horus numbers in the quotient, and as an exact remainder, the remainder including an Egyptian fraction and a ro unit, correcting the Eye of Horus 1/64 roundoff error. The ro unit, 1/320 of a hekat, is cited in the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus and applied in the medical texts, i.e. Ebers Papyrus in two ways. The first replaced the hekat by a unity, 64/64 (in RMP 47, 82 and 83), and the second by 320 ro (in RMP 35–38). Exact divisions of 64/64 by 3, 7, 10, 11 and 13, written as 1/3, 1/17, 1/10, 1/11 and 1/13 multipliers, are also found in the Akhmim Wooden Tablet.

Just an imaginary alter-ego for the sake of enjoyment and playfulness
I just have to remember, it's "child-like" not "childish"
It's also a LOT of fun on facebook!!!edit on 13-5-2012 by PurpleChiten because: (no reason given)
So your saying TV and electronics are preventing us from being Immortal?
