Mr. Cathie considers 144, the harmonic recriprocal of the speed of light, to be an important measure of the earth's grid because it divides into the planet's 21,600 minutes of arc exactly 150 times.

well, I consider 150 to be special because it divides into 21,600 exactly(!) 144 times. Or was it 3600 6 times. Or maybe it was 6*6*6*100! (a centibeast?) And what the hell is a harmonic reciprocal?

Wow, isn't earth special? </sarcasm> ... (There are 21,600 minutes in every circle)

shhhhh, don't give it away to the rubes!

This should clear things up a bit!!!

Harmonic Reciprocal Mean Curvature Surfaces which are theta-isothermic

What is "theta-isothermic"? As one can define isothermic just by viewing on the functions of the fundamental forms - the Hopf differential is real with respect to a proper conformal coordinate - we define a surface to be theta-isothermic if the imaginary part of the Hopf differential is constant (theta) with respect to a proper conformal coordinate. However, neither is theta an invariant of the surface nor is the constant of the imaginary part of the Hopf differential a geomertrical property that is really understood up to now.

On the other side - even this is very new and not yet understood - for these "generalization" of isothermic surfaces there exist an involution, that maps a theta-isothermic surface (up to a scaling of the ambiente space) into an isothermic surface in either S3 or H3 and vice versa.

Somehow, your screen nick inspires a vague sense of fear and loathing in me... never mind, I forgot what I was saying.

Ignore the alien antenna (fnord). Ignore the alien antenna (fnord). There are no such things as aliens (fnord).
