'The Greeks Imagined...'

For reasons that are unclear to me, you will see, all over the internet, when searching for information or commentaries about many subjects, very repetitious stock phrases that use presumptions that are virtually never challenged anywhere, but become the substance particularly of academic peer reviewed studies and of course, conclusions.

Here's an example: 'the Greeks imagined the Universe to be like the inside of a large brass bowl, with stars being kinds of jewels that are placed as adornments in the heavens.'

Oh very poetic.

Which 'Greeks,' I wonder, are being referred to here.

The Ancient Greeks imagined a forest
to be a bunch of trees!
Well fancy that.

Would it perhaps the satirist playwright Aristophanes, who was trying to poke fun at the wives of Athenian politicians left at home in the kitchens whilst their husbands were considering lofty matters of State elsewhere...

Or perhaps it was one of the speeches of a droll character inside one of the comedies.

'The Greeks.' This is a blanket presumption that all Greeks of ancient times all held the same view about a particular something - or about anything; which is so absurd an idea as to be more than slightly bizarre to my mind at least. And yet - this is the kind of taken-for-granted statement that abounds in today's world in which 'scientists' are completely right about everything all of the time.

'Hadron' comes from a Greek word that means 'huge.' And so the massive equipment that causes small particles to collide into each other at the stated 'considerable energy,' certainly, if nothing else, comes at a huge monetary cost.

It is not easy to challenge the various speech-makers everywhere on Ted Talks and other platforms for the mainstream mind-leaders, because no one will ever be afforded the chance to ask one of them, 'well, what Greek have you ever read fully?' I remember getting into an argument with the Dean of the Philosophy Department at the University I attended when I asked why it appeared the main lecturer seemed to only know of commentaries on various ancient Greek texts but had never seemed to know actually what was in the source texts themselves and never had a single source text on their book list. 

Moreover, once it comes to exact definitions and translations of words, we get into the rarified atmosphere in which virtually no one at all lives these days! So much so that proper names get regularly mistaken for ordinary nouns and their adjectival uses go missing.

BUT - someone seems to know what are in some of the old texts, because a lot of modern science (albet admittedly using modern instruments to 'produce' 'data') is just the re-naming using modern era words, and the attribution to modern people, of things that were long ago discovered or known. And then, when that won't do, there is this 'cutting in two' of some mysterious object (like a sub-atomic particle) and the consequent pronoucement about some new discovery of a particle or its force or characteristic.

Max Planck

The last truly great item of quantum science that was really discovered was Planck's Constant - if for no other obvious reason than that as an actual number, it is not some '1' (unity) or its opposite (and therefore '2' in total) or the 'up' or 'down,' or left or right spin through some axis of some otherwise perfectly unknown 'thing' said to exist.

Will Self, the radical journalist, after having been given a guided tour of the CERN facility, said he thought the whole thing was a scam designed to extract a whole of money from a group of governments - but it could not be that. Scientists are never motivated by money. Or power.

Being motivated by money and power would put them back in the time of the 1738 CE (means also 1738 AD) creation by the Rajput king Sawai Singh of the mysterious Jantar Mantar - which is widely and incorrectly translated these days once again all over the internet as the 'calculations formulae' structure. In fact it means the HUGE MAGICAL OCULUS - a machine or mechanism through which the king could see into the past and the future and all over space, and also via which he could cast magical chants in order to exert power over anyone or everyone. 

The trouble with people who find much to argue with me over this perspective, is that none of them have read any of the Greek texts that go into the ontology of arithmetic, and the ontology of geometry - and the calculus extensions in those texts into what we now call quantum level mechanics, and the nature of the Universe.

What is true is that 'the Greeks did not imagine,' anything about the Universe - except those Greeks who were writers of fantasy stories. And as far as 'the IIluminati' goes, well, Pythagoras never imparted anything to students who were not with him consistently for fourteen years! So I'm not sure how 'what the Greeks knew or imagined' is known to anyone not actually inside those Pythagorean Schools for one example of 'the Greeks.'

The functional value of Planck's Constant appears in the nuclear bomb. The functional value of the Higgs Boson, much to many people's disappointment, has not yet appeared anywhere.

However, I note that the 'Higgs Boson' is the symmetrical opposite (thus 1 thing of 2 things...) of either the fundamental particle or force or unit type of energy of the ordinary electromagnetic field. It is opposite because it cannot be turned off. And because it cannot be turned off, we can not ever observe it by differentiation. Scientists however know that it exists. As surely as there are grant funders who exist. 

The Delhi Jantar Mantar. Inside the structures and outside all around
are strange metal devices and instruments,
beautifully made and with obscure symbols all over them,
though at least one of them, is a sundial.

Trust me, if you invert the Higgs Boson field by causing it to rotate around its own axis ( if you could find one thereof) incredibly fast, you can create a black hole in the positive pole, whereupon it can eat itself continuously and yet spew itself back out through the negative pole - however each subsequent packet of spewed re-circulated particles is a new Universe; which is a way we get into 'String Theory.' String Theory, as you know, is a bunch of numbers but not just any numbers, they are the exact same numbers we ordinarily use every day, it's just that er, er, er, they are named after a prominent modern scientist that fell down in yesterday's shower of rain in Oxford or somewhere. Lucky us. Everything is so different because of today's science. So, so, different.

God people were so stupid in the past. Up until Planck, people looked at atomic and sub-atomic particles, but after Einstein, we can now look into 'space' and 'time!' 

Tomorrow, we will be able to to look into smoke and mirrors too. Smoke and mirrors do exist, because they are possibly the symmetrical antitheses of space and time. Not ordinary 'smoke' and 'mirrors' of course, you understand, but 'smoke x 2 to the 1/3 power >*&^$^&*^^$#' and 'mirrors x square root of !%$#$%$#%^.'
