Quantum Symmetry

Last month a Duke University engineer linked the golden ratio to evolutionary biology and the mechanisms of vision and cognizant processes. Now, researchers have discovered the ratio within solid state matter. In order to study material of the nanoscale quantum effects, researchers looked to the magnetic material cobalt niobate. Cobalt niobate consists of linked magnetic atoms that are only one atom wide. The process involved transforming the magnetic chain into a state called quantum critical, which is the equivalent to the fractal pattern and leads to the golden ratio. Introducing more quantum uncertainty, by applying magnetic fields at specific angles, causes the chain to vibrate like guitar strings, and these vibratory patterns produce resonant notes. By measuring the distance and frequencies of these notes the pattern of a perfect relationship was created with a pitch in the ratio of 1.618…the golden ratio. 

Just as the adapted system of vision incorporated the natural system of the golden ratio into the aesthetic manipulation of art and architecture, the translation of the quantum system into a fractal lexicon seems to reveal the same system at play under a different guise. There appears to be no limits to this prophetic geometric that has been behind human civilization's most astonishing cultural feats as well as inherent in natural design.  It should therefore come as no surprise to see it within all systematic processes once we enable the means to incorporate it into our dominant reality.

yes, jennifer, 

it is a very exciting time...and so much to learn!

 

Or UN-learn..

...as the case may sometimes be. :) Peace.

More proof...

...that there is order in the chaos. As you look deeper into the seemingly random processes of the universe, there simply lies patterns of increasingly complex order. Nothing is random!

 

How will it all begin..?

Up For Discussion

Though the appearance of the golden ratio may be transcendental, how do we create meaning from it? "Godels Theorem" seems to apply in this case which establishes the limits or incompleteness of mathematics and number systems.

Applause to the bright young minds doing this research @ Duke. If this remotely carries any interest then please research Royal Rife and the work that he had done back in the early 1900's. Cymatic and sonic applications have been deeply linked to our dimensional slice and it's vibrational pattern.

Geometric Philosophy...

Submitted by Five on Sat, 01/16/2010 - 18:38.

In science today, we are witnessing a general shift away from the assumption that the fundemental structure of matter can be considered from the point of view of substance (particles), to the concept that the fundemental nature of the material world is knowable only through the underlying patterns of wave forms (geometric designs)......

 Both our organs of perception and the phenomenal world we perceive seem to be best understood as systems of pure pattern, or as geometric structures of form and proportion. Therefore , when many ancient cultures chose to examine reality thru the metephors of geometry...and music..(music being the study of the proportional laws of sound frequency) they were already  rather beyond the position of our most contempory science.

In a topological field

Submitted by Matt John on Tue, 02/02/2010 - 03:31.
In a topological field theory, the correlation functions do not depend on the metric on spacetime. This means that the theory is not sensitive to changes in the shape of spacetime; if the spacetime warps or contracts, the correlation functions do not change. Consequently, they are topological invariants. Topological field theories are not very interesting on the flat Minkowski spacetime used in particle physics. Minkowski space can be contracted to a point, so a TQFT on Minkowski space computes only trivial topological invariants. Consequently, TQFTs are usually studied on curved spacetimes, such as, for example, Riemann surfaces. Most of the known topological field theories are defined on spacetimes of dimension less than five. It seems that a few higher dimensional theories exist, but they are not very well understood. Quantum gravity is believed to be background-independent (in some suitable sense), and TQFTs provide examples of background independent quantum field theories. This has prompted ongoing theoretical investigation of this class of models. (Caveat: It is often said that TQFTs have only finitely many degrees of freedom. This is not a fundamental property. It happens to be true in most of the examples that physicists and mathematicians study, but it is not necessary. A topological sigma model with target infinite-dimensional projective space, ccnp study guide, if such a thing could be defined, would have countably infinitely many degrees of freedom.)  PR: wait...  I: wait...  L: wait...  LD: wait...  I: wait... wait...  Rank: wait...  Traffic: wait...  Price: wait...  C: wait...
