At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.

    For those interested in a rigorous exposition (and mathematical treatment) of a class of perfect magic squares there is always 'Most-perfect Pandiagonal Magic Squares: their construction and enumeration', by Dame Kathleen Ollerenshaw and David Brée, published in 1998 by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications. I did the typesetting, and it was very complex!

    Fascinating complex topic presented by a great lecturer. I really loved his voice and he uses the perfect rate of presentation...just fast enough to not drag, just slow enough to allow one to absorb the information.

    You can find this number by using a simple math formula, where n = the number of rows or columns in your magic square. So, for example, in a 3x3 magic square, n = 3. The magic constant = n[(n^2+1)/2]

    Good lecture, contained some details I wasn't aware of from other sources on magic squares - particularly the 52 summations! 😊
    I did notice that the lecture contains 3 mistakes though - early on he says "odd/yin numbers" when he means "even/yin numbers", then a bit later he says "row" when he means "column", and at the end he says the rows/columns/etc add up to "25” when he means "65”.

    • @b.griffin317
      @b.griffin317 Před 3 lety +4

      Moon is largest because it is closest to earth and thus most astrologically influential. Saturn is the opposite. From this the rest are ordered according to the old Ptolemaic order of the planets (which include the "luminaries:" Sun/Moon).

      Beginning with the Chinese story of the turtle, I think it was not an accident. In nature mathematics appears in various ways, the golden ratio, Fibonacci sequence, pi etc. They show how physical reality is mathematical in structure (Tegmark).
      Your question in not trivial, as may seem to you. Mathematics is the 'mind of god', the universal consciousness is tuned to the 'fine tuned' human consciousness, according to the Standard Model.

    Am i the only one in the world that knows that planetary magic squares can be represented inside a Nonagon???
    Nobody ever mention that. I'm surprised indeed.
    Though you will find some lack of symmetry when you draw the 6x6 sun MS. And Venus. I'm still trying to find a solution .
    I made a video about Durero's magic square using a Nonagon.
    You the mathematicians should start using the nonagon with these magic squares.
    Do it and you will find a new world of possibilities.

    Это не всё, что нужно знать о магических квадратах. При правильном зеркальном самоотражении квадрата линии соединяющие цифры начинают показывать основные энергетические взаимодействия между зарядами и электромагнитными полями. Первый кто это понял был Джон Серл. Именно он разобрался во всех энергиях и показал, как это работает.

    After I saw the pictures of the multiple shapes in the video, I remembered that I drew 5 or 6 shapes from this book of alchemy. I did not understand anything from it because it was in Dutch except that I drew the geometric shapes after transferring them on millimeter paper, until I converted the shapes into patterns that suggest a three-dimensional shape despite Only contain points and lines. And from the ancient my ancestors, one of them put according to a cube the sum of all its numbers equal to 1111 cube-shaped. It means that each square in the regular table in itself a small cube will carry 6 numbers and the 6 numbers give one number in the middle of each cube

    Just like common core mathematics or even base 10 mathematics. Go to the root of what he is convoluting and start with basic vortex mathematics. Randy Powell is the premier vortex mathematician. If this interest you watch his lessons. This is information that can give you a much greater understanding of life on a personal level through a cosmic level. This lecture takes a topic and fails to give you the basic understanding of the profundity of the subject. It’s almost like he’s taking a cosmic truth and mocking it by disillusion and trying to deter people from the real importance. They have been habitually muddling with mathematics to deter people from embracing it. This, just like modern common core is them showing you math in a way that is ‘’magical’’ and seems useless trying to make you feel like it’s above your understanding when in reality it’s the simplest and most logical form of mathematics. Once you go back to the basics of vortex math you will see the simplicity in numbers and the relation they share with each other. Our base 10 system is preventing the population from really understanding mathematics since there is no 10. There’s only 9. Vortex base 9 math is a universal language that they don’t want you to be able to speak. Base 10 only works in the construct of our human creation here on earth. Math is embedded in the cosmos it wasn’t created by humans. You leave earth and encounter other intelligence and you better know vortex math if you want to communicate. Using base 10 would be like speaking Spanish to someone who speaks Latin. There’s some basis in it but it’s inefficient. Vortex mathematics is universal and embedded in the cosmos. Just like everything else we’ve been given pieces of things to confuse and disillusion us. Grasp vortex mathematics and you will have a greater understand of the correlation and relationship of numbers and of the construct of our reality. There is no higher power then mathematics. They’ve taking the most innate cosmic connection and stripped it from us and replaced it with a convoluted system disconnecting us from our true being and stifling our understanding of reality. There’s power in numbers and some hold much more power then others. Look at cymatics and how certain numbers generate perfect geometric patterns. All those numbers are of the governing vortex of 3,6 and 9. Look at what they did with universal concert pitch. The ancients, worldwide were tuned to 432hz(9) because it vibrated at a frequency that created positive energy and created a perfect geometric pattern. Then concert pitch was changed to what it is today, 440hz. This pitch does not form a sacred geometric pattern and has a negative impact on the psychology of humans. Wether or not you realize it, math controls more of our existence then anything else

  • @kagencrawford1415
    @kagencrawford1415 Před 4 lety +1

    Nothing more than evenly distributed patterns of numbers. IE) The 4x4. The sum of 1 through 16 is 136. 136/16*4 = 34. For the 5x5, the sum of 1 to 25 is 325, 325/25*5=65. For the 7x7, the sum is 1225 and 1225/49*7=175. There is a known pattern shown in the video to the distribution, all you are doing is patterning and evenly spacing a known assortment of random numbers then adding them up to a portion of the average. There's nothing "magic" to using a pattern... or organizing a random assortment in such a manner to add up to a sum equivalent to X parts of the average. Even if you calculate the difference between the squares - you will get a repeating pattern in some cases based on the patterning of a random distribution. Neat patterning trick, but nothing that's actually astronomically psychedelic.

    • @carbon1479
      @carbon1479 Před 6 lety +6

      Also, to be fair, there's one reason why I don't ridicule the stuff. There are plenty of points in life where a person has to jump across a massive knowledge or developmental gap and no one's going to tell them how to do it, there's no roadmap, and they have to do the impossible to succeed or possibly even survive. It's a bit like having to get from a 2nd story fire escape to a 5th with no ladder and anyone at the 5th story either refusing to help or just not having a ladder to throw down. The kinds of exercises people play with in this kind of stuff and Jungian psychology are the kinds of regimes people can actually use to that kind of effect, ie. building ladders of potentiality over otherwise impossible gaps. None of the woo has to be real, it can be completely neurological and help them either overcome an otherwise impossible obstacle or survive setbacks that other people would have no clue how they endured. That in and of itself is magic enough for me.
