Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot

Carl Sagan

Carl Edward Sagan (November 9, 1934 – December 20, 1996) was an American astronomer, astrophysicist, author, and highly successful popularizer of astronomy, astrophysics and other natural sciences. He pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI)

He is world-famous for writing popular science books and for co-writing and presenting the award-winning 1980 television series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, which has been seen by more than 500 million people in over 60 countries.[2] A book to accompany the program was also published. He also wrote the novel Contact, the basis for the 1997 film of the same name. During his lifetime, Sagan published more than 600 scientific papers and popular articles and was author, co-author, or editor of more than 20 books. In his works, he was known for frequently advocating skeptical inquiry, secular humanism, and the scientific method

Earth, the pale blue dot

In a commencement address delivered May 11, 1996, Sagan related his thoughts on the deeper meaning of the photograph  

Look again at that dot. That’s here, that’s home, that’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.  

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.  

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.  

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.  

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.

Theory: Zero Point Energy

So, why would the “Illuminati” and just about every other ancient civilization decide to worship the sun and spam their solar and astronomical symbols all over the place?

The universe follows a fractal pattern of a double torus shown above. The double torus is the result of two opposing forces reaching equilibrium thereby forming a recursive feedback loop. This is the same concept portrayed in the Ouroboros symbol:

Look at this crop circle. Notice the largest sphere touches the smallest sphere. This shows how in the abstract mathematical sense, extreme opposites connect to complete the “connection” of two opposite polarities touching each other for the first time (the theoretical start of the universe).  The head of the Ouroboros symbolizes one side of polar opposites and the tail the other. Carl Jung says the following about the Ouroboros:

The alchemists, who in their own way knew more about the nature of the individuation process than we moderns do, expressed this paradox through the symbol of the Ouroboros, the snake that eats its own tail. The Ouroboros has been said to have a meaning of infinity or wholeness. In the age-old image of the Ouroboros lies the thought of devouring oneself and turning oneself into a circulatory process, for it was clear to the more astute alchemists that the prima materia of the art was man himself. The Ouroboros is a dramatic symbol for the integration and assimilation of the opposite, i.e. of the shadow. This ‘feed-back’ process is at the same time a symbol of immortality, since it is said of the Ouroboros that he slays himself and brings himself to life, fertilizes himself and gives birth to himself. He symbolizes the One, who proceeds from the clash of opposites, and he therefore constitutes the secret of the prima materia which [...] unquestionably stems from man’s unconscious.

We can understand the symmetry of the plane by observing that although any polygon can be made to have equal edge lengths, only the regular hexagon can have edges equal in length to the distance between the polygon’s center and its vertices. In the same way, although there are many regular and seniiregular polyhedra with equal edge lengths, there is only one spatial configuration in which the length of each polyhedral edge is equal to that of the radial distance from its center of gravity to any vertex: the cuboctahedron

http://www.angelfire.com/mt/marksomers/92.html

In geometry, a cuboctahedron is a polyhedron with eight triangular faces and six square faces. A cuboctahedron has 12 identical vertices, with two triangles and two squares meeting at each, and 24 identical edges, each separating a triangle from a square. As such it is a quasiregular polyhedron, i.e. an Archimedean solid, being vertex-transitive and edge-transitive.

Unit-edge polyhedron Radius Central Angle Axial Angle
Tetrahedron 0.6124 109.47° 35.26°
Octahedron 0.7071 90.00° 45.00°
Icosahedron 0.9511 63.43° 58.28°
Cube 0.8660 70.53° 54.76°
Pentadodecahedron 1.4012 41.81° 69.04°
Vector Equilibrium 1.0000 60.00° 60.00°

The key here is 12 identical vertices. 12 Hours, 12 Months, 12 Disciples, etc. The fundamental concept is this: ZERO point energy. Zero meaning the point at which all mathematics cancel each other out and form a null-point where literally nothing happens. Picture a video game engine rendering a map. Imagine a point in this zone that has zero data, it is anomalous as the engine does not know how to render it. Parallel this to reality, where a null-point is an access point for infinity.

This is Neo in the matrix where the Architect says that there is a systemic anomaly that cannot be defined by computer logic.

If you will bare with me for a second, try to mentally overlap this with the pyramid on the back of the dollar bill. This Pascal triangle is showing a system of numbers stemming from infinity and then creating values in a mathematically precise way starting from a capstone. If you notice these numbers are positive and gradually increase as you travel down towards the base of the pyramid. Imagine this going on for infinity. If you were to take one of these Pascal triangles and flip it upside down and assign this flipped pyramid the exact same values but instead make them negative, and then you place the capstone (which is now at the bottom) into the capstone of the pyramid shown above, you would be infact counterbalancing the positive numerical forces with negative numerical forces creating a null-zone in the center where the two opposite polarity capstones touched.

Another way to visualize this concept is to imagine a number line starting with 1 and going on to positive infinity. Now picture a second number line starting with -1 and going to negative infinity. If you connect the -1 and the positive one, you’ve created zero. This is the number zero. What do you get when you divide by zero? The smaller the number in the denominator of a fraction the greater the value of the answer:

10 / 10 = 1
10 / 9 = 1.111
10 / 8 = 1.25
10 / 1 = 10
10 / .1 = 100
10 / .0001 = 100,000
10 / 0 = Infinity

Zero, creates infinity. The Alpha is the Omega, the largest value is simultaneously the smallest value, and when they come together they create a null-zone. The initial force of creation was the result of the two most extreme values joining together or touching for the first time.

The head of the Ouroboros taking the first bite of its own tail.
