Abstract
|
|
|
|
In 1976 an unmanned NASA Viking spacecraft successfully
|
|
photographed the surface of the planet Mars. In the subsequent 13
|
|
years, a mystery has loomed . . . a mile-long, 1500-ft high humanoid
|
|
"face" discovered in a northern Martian desert called "Cydonia."
|
|
Initially dismissed by NASA as "a trick of light and shadow," new
|
|
analysis presented here reveals a far more complex situation, and a
|
|
far more significant conclusion:
|
|
|
|
The "face" and its surrounding "enigmatic landforms" appear to be
|
|
a carefully layed out, highly-sophisticated, redundantly encoded
|
|
"mathematical and geometric CETI message" on the Martian landscape --
|
|
in the tradition of century-old proposals by Gauss, Lockyer, et al..
|
|
|
|
This paper presents the evidence whereby the authors have reached
|
|
this "radical conclusion." We -- one of us a former NASA consultant,
|
|
the other a geomorphologist -- detail the extensive geodedic and
|
|
mathematical analysis of "the Face" we have conducted over the past
|
|
several years: specifically, its geometric relationship to other,
|
|
equally enigmatic objects in the immediate vicinity. This evidence
|
|
includes multiple appearances of two specific mathematical constants:
|
|
"e" and "pi," derived by angular measurement of the placement of key
|
|
morphological objects around the "face" and the discovery of redundant
|
|
angles and derived constants from that placement. We have also
|
|
discovered the two constants -- "e" and "pi" -- "coded" in the
|
|
geodedic siting latitude of the "complex" on the planet.
|
|
|
|
It is this multiple, diversified, but converging geodedic,
|
|
geometric and mathematical evidence that, in the authors' opinion, now
|
|
robustly supports the "radical conclusion" presented above.
|
|
|
|
The geometry and mathematical constants we have discovered at
|
|
Cydonia appear to be a highly-specific communication of "embedded
|
|
tetrahedral geometry." It's apparent purpose: the geometric
|
|
prediction of a specific geodedic latitude -- 19.5 degrees N. and S. -
|
|
- resulting from the location of the vertices of a "circumscribed
|
|
tetrahedran" rotated inside a planetary or stellar sphere. This
|
|
conclusion is reinforced by the geomorphological observation of a
|
|
major "tetrahedral pyramid" at Cydonia -- connected geometrically (by
|
|
a 19.5-degree angle offset to the local geodedic meridian) to equally
|
|
obvious morphological representations of "spheres" at Cydonia itself.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of all this appears to be to direct attention towards
|
|
"something occurring at these two specific planetary latitudes." When
|
|
examined by the authors, using published geodedic planetary maps from
|
|
NASA and U.S Geological Survey sources, these latitudes are observed
|
|
to be associated with a hitherto unknown planetary and stellar energy
|
|
phenomenon -- blatantly emerging at these specific latitudes -- on
|
|
astronomical objects all across the solar system, including the Sun.
|
|
Further, the appearance of these "energy outpourings" seems to be
|
|
modulated by the polarity of the planetary (or stellar) magnetic
|
|
dipole moment -- raising, in the author's minds, the possibility that
|
|
the "message" is attempting to direct us to a verifiable astrophysical
|
|
manifestation of a basic, "unified field," connecting planetary
|
|
angular momentum, gravity, and electromagnetism with surface energy
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
The possibility that "the message" is directing us to, not merely
|
|
energy transfer but energy generation, is also considered in this
|
|
paper. Several convergent observations of the outer planets, most
|
|
recently from Voyager 2, are presented to buttress our contention that
|
|
we may be looking at a new astrophysically - significant form of
|
|
energy. Evidence is also presented that some manifestations of this
|
|
energy may be altering the local "gravitational space-time metric" --
|
|
consistant with current theoretical interpretations of tetrahedral
|
|
mathematics by specialists, as "representative of higher-dimensional
|
|
n-spaces."
|
|
|
|
The implications of these "real world" geophysical manifestations
|
|
of "unified field tetrahedral mathematics" -- specific, localized
|
|
energy release on planetary surfaces, apparently unrecognized until
|
|
the "Cydonia tetrahedral mathematics" were decoded by the authors --
|
|
are profound: ranging from a possible breakthrough in the centuries-
|
|
long search for a Unified Field Theory connecting the four elemental
|
|
forces of Nature; to possible technological applications of this
|
|
knowledge -- including a new energy source, and possibly, ultimate
|
|
control of gravity itself.
|
|
|
|
We conclude by urging immediate verification of the "Cydonia
|
|
Message," via the 1992 unmanned Mars Observer spacecraft, as well as
|
|
detailed follow-up to our preliminary work presented here.
