Dan Brown's next novel.
Yes, surprisingly it turns out that Plato’s republic is the original source for “Itsy-Bitsy Teeny-Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini”.
In Db.
“The decoded messages also open up a surprising way to unite science and religion.”
Okay, what did the decoded messages say?
“The hidden codes show that Plato anticipated the scientific revolution 2,000 years before Isaac Newton, discovering its most important idea—that the book of nature is written in the language of mathematics.”
Mathematically, I think this article can be modeled using the equation for a hyperbola.
It isn’t clear to me what he found. If what he did was transpose symbols to musical notation, how would he determine the transposition was correct?
If it transposed to a Brandenberg Concerto, that would be amazing. But just because you can interpret the symbols as notes doesn’t mean you have broken the code.
Maybe there’s something that the author thought was obvious that I did not understand.
They said, “Do what ever the blond retarded girl says for she is a goddess.”
Be sure to drink your Ovaltine.
“Itsy-Bitsy Teeny-Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini” might be in the key of D, but anything but D♭!
Oration was how ideas were presented. Organizing words to include musical scales would help enable subsequent orators to get the speeches right, not just the words.
Drink your Ovaltine.
From the article: “Plato and the Greeks believed music was the key to mathematics and the cosmos. What we didn’t know was that he used Greek musical scales to give his works a hidden structure and then built layers of hidden meanings beneath that.”
There is also a connection between music and the Aliens.
He keeps going Bach and forth.
What?
How dare you!
LOLOLOL
GREAT line.
Frauline Greta the Grouch.
clever...lol
“Yes, surprisingly it turns out that Plato’s republic is the original source for “Itsy-Bitsy Teeny-Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini”.”
Common at the beaches of Atlantis.
Unlikely there was an original code there.
Keep in mind that we only have copies of copies of copies of Plato’s original works. The first full manuscript of the Republic stems from around 1500 years after Plato’s death. And copying manuscripts always entailed a certain degree of error.
I’m skeptical.
Sometimes we can see what we want.
Whatever math classical Greece had was first used by Old Kingdom Egyptians, including geometry and trigonometry. The Greeks learned it all from years of study with Egyptian priests and brought that knowledge back to Greece. Pythagoras and other Greek mathematicians just converted that knowledge into something they could understand, for instance the Old Kingdom’s “the tiny gap” became the Comma of Pythagoras.
Further, the Old Kingdom Egyptians 4,500 years ago counted, like modern computers, without multiplication tables and whose accuracy was not surpassed until computers were invented.
