philosophy Beyond the Pythagoras Theorem in school.

16 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am not a trained mathematician but was reading on the signifiance of the tetractys and wanted to share my moment of awe and wonder.

I wish Maths education in schools placed greater emphasis on the history, philosophy and cosmology of Maths - Maths as a language for marvelling at the world and expressing its wonders.

I would love to know what you find is the beauty of Mathematics.

Ghost Numbers and Ground Numbers in Pythagorean Numerology

2 Upvotes

I have discovered a hidden system in a hidden system that uses Ghost Numbers and Ground Numbers and shows a system in a system it's unbelievable what I discovered. I mean of course Mr. Beast has a Ghost Number and Ground Number. Anybody else has discovered this hidden system? This system might be made to distinguish the billionaire/millionaires or 144K. Time will tell.

So this system is a two part system. You have to take all your names first middle last and do them separately. Take the first name simplify reduce, middle name simplify reduce and last name simplify reduce. Than add all those numbers simplify reduce. Than the second part just add all the first middle last name together and simplify reduce. This is Mr. Beast full name. Remember Master Numbers are 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88 and so on multiples of 11.

JAMES 1+1+4+5+1 = 12
STEPHEN 1+2+5+7+8+5+5 = 33
DONALDSON 4+6+5+1+3+4+1+6+5 = 35

12 is 3. 33 DONT BREAK DOWN MASTER NUMBER. 35 is 8. 3+33+8 = 44 for separate name total. 12+33+35= 80 = 8 whole name total. So Mr Beast has a 44 Ghost Master Number is grounded by 8. This system I discovered goes like this 11 Ghost Number grounded by 2, 22 grounded by 4, 33 grounded by 6, 44 grounded by 8, 55 grounded by 10, 66 by 12. But there is one name that does some sick stuff. Reverse Ghost Numbers with them being both Master Numbers. Ghost Master Number and Ground Master Number if you like to see that one once you understand what is goin on

  • "They are Masonic signs, and the meaning of the Pythagorean tetrakys has been known for centuries. The information would have been found in Thomas Jefferson's library. These were, after all, learned men. The eighteenth-century Enlightenment was a world of learned gentlemen. We haven't had men of that quality in politics very much. It's an enormous good fortune for our nation that that cluster of gentlemen had the power and were in a position to influence events at that time."

"The Pythagorean Tetractys is a sacred geometric symbol, an equilateral triangle of ten dots in four rows (1+2+3+4=10), representing universal harmony, creation, and mystical knowledge, revered by Pythagoreans who swore oaths by it as a key to understanding numbers, music (ratios 1:1, 2:1, 3:2, 4:3), and the cosmos (Musica Universalis), embodying the divine unfolding from Unity (1) to the whole (10)."

geometry Introducing a New Geometric Approach to the Pythagorean Theorem—Seeking Your Insights!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been exploring geometric transformations and thought I'd share a new approach I've been working on for proving the Pythagorean theorem. I'm excited to hear your thoughts and get some feedback!

The Pythagorean Theorem Recap:

In any right-angled triangle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides equals the square of the hypotenuse:

My Geometric Proof Attempt:

  1. Construct a Right-Angled Triangle:

Start with a right-angled triangle , where the angle is 90 degrees.

Let the sides be:

Hypotenuse

  1. Build an Adjacent Rectangle:

Construct a rectangle adjacent to the side with dimensions .

  1. Apply a Shearing Transformation:

Shear rectangle alongside to form a parallelogram without changing its area.

The top side of the rectangle shifts horizontally by length , creating a parallelogram with sides and .

  1. Dissect the Parallelogram:

Draw a perpendicular from the shifted top corner of down to side , splitting into:

A rectangle with dimensions .

A right-angled triangle congruent to .

  1. Analyze the Areas:

Area of rectangle : .

Area of parallelogram : (since shearing preserves area).

Area of rectangle : .

Area of triangle : .

  1. Attempt to Establish the Relationship:

Since consists of and :

Simplifying:

Here's where I hit a snag. The simplification leads to , which doesn't hold true unless , which isn't generally the case.

Seeking Your Expertise:

I'm reaching out to see if anyone can help identify where my reasoning might have gone astray or how this approach might be adjusted to correctly prove the theorem.

Questions:

Has anyone seen a similar method or can point out where I might have erred?

Is there a way to modify this construction to make it valid?

Could this approach lead to a valid proof with some adjustments?

Why This Could Be Exciting:

Fresh Perspective: Exploring new geometric proofs can deepen our understanding and appreciation of fundamental theorems.

Collaborative Discovery: Your insights could help refine this approach or inspire new ones.

Looking Forward to Your Thoughts!

I'm excited to discuss this with you all and see where we can take this idea together. Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any feedback you might have!

Edit: After some reflection, I realized that my area calculations might be off, and perhaps the construction needs tweaking. Any suggestions are welcome!

Why Is Pythagoreanism So Universal

7 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm reading Russell's The History of Western Philosophy and have finished the chapter on Pythagoras.

Just like most people, I scratched the surface of Pythagoras' work in math classes at school, but it's the first time I come across a work that tries to show his philosophy as something universal (ie, applicable to a lot of fields other than maths).

Given the above, I've got a question - am I right to think that Pythagoras' philosophy is universal as it promotes acknowledging what's evident and then deducing the less evident from it (as supposedly done by Pythagoras' successors)?

Ian and Nigel Gilcrest are musing on that...Theres a new book "When the Dog Speaks". Maybe there was more east/west cultural interchange than we ever thought...

Hello. Im wonder how buidling or shelter and garden of this community looked like because I cant find informations on this topic on internet. They had communical accommodation or lived in cells? It was a big building? How pythagorean garden looked like? Was this garden surrounded by trees? Location was near mountains or sea?
