Hi Waybread,

Yes, from a small boy i have studied Phi, the what, being finding a master key shape i found a few years ago, the why is far more difficult, and will probably take the rest of my life...perhaps not that long, one more fall should do it, Ha Ha!

What is Professor Xavier's favourite game?

Sit and spin!

He has the ability to move things with his mind, but cannot move his own legs.

The trouble with studying Phi too much is you could discover it's uses, it could be weapons or synthetic life, who knows?

Hi, Monk-- can you say more on this, for the mathematically challenged? You are probably familiar with this image, "God the Geometer" from the 13th century? The Wiki Commons where I got the image notes: "Famously used as the first color illustration to Benoit B. Mandelbrot's The Fractal Geometry of Nature."

Since it has to do with measurement, and whether time is objectively real, I thought you'd enjoy this article:

No problem. Actually, I will be off camping and off line for 4 days starting tomorrow. If I come up with any gems of wisdom while gazing into beautiful scenery, I will let you know.

Thanks for the link. I understood the whole thing (I think.)

If I can find it, I'll take along Is God a Mathematician?

From a biological standpoint, my question would be, what evolutionary pressures either selected for the golden ratio; or at least didn't select it out. Evolution gets us into competition between species for natural resources, so there should be a competitive advantage in the form of, say, a chambered nautilus. In physics, probably there are some operative laws concerning energy and matter. But these would seem to be different guiding principles? Or not? Is there a tiny scale at which the same explanatory principles could apply?

Why are snowflakes symmetrical?

Symmetry and scale seem to be other guiding principles of higher plants an animals. A tree's form may look non-symmetrical, until we look at the level of leaves with a central rib, or 5-petal flowers. Then look at a cross-section of a carrot.

What about the human mind. Aren't most of us binary thinkers? (Either/or, black or white, left or right.)

Philosopher? Monk, I like to think of you as a gentleman and a scholar. (Probably just as well I didn't meet you during your randy youth.)

Telekinesis? Isn't that supposed to be a crime against the Laws of the Materialistic Universe?! :bandit:

Hi Waybread,


I think of you as a lady, perhaps good that you didn't meet me when we were young, as quintiles, which i have are about the ability to create, or be creative, so i did have a whiff of a Fibonacci Rabbit Ha Ha.

Hopefully take "Is God a Mathematician?" with you camping, however order his other book "The story of Phi, the worlds most astonishing number!
I'll try to answer some more of your questions while you are away!


Hi David Starling,


Nice to talk to you again, i did know an 11 year old girl who had Telekinesis powers, she also talked in a male deep voice, not someone that you would want to go on a picnic with ha ha!

The Giant in "Jack and the Beanstalk", was a mathematician, and was actually saying "Fee, PHI, Fo, Fum", unlike the usual spelling. The real question is, why does an Englishman's blood smell differently from that of other nationalities? Black Pudding, perhaps?

Hi Jup,


Thanks for the thought regarding the "Rewalk 6.0", however after reading about it, it isn't for someone like me that has such an unstable spine, i could fall and smash my back again, and it costs £98,000!


More black humour jokes regarding myself.....


What do you call monk on fire? Hot wheels!


Whats black and at the top of the stairs? Monk after a house fire!


What's monk's favourite song? Head, shoulders, wheels, and brakes!


I've just wrote a book called "Around the house in eighty days!".


How does monk take a poo? He "logs out" of his computer!


Monk is going to hell because it is a stairway to heaven...not a ramp!


Monk cannot die as he isn't able to kick the bucket!


Monk shouldn't write sad jokes as he cannot stand up for himself ha ha!

Many thanx to Jup and David for the Jokes!


I'll get a colostomy in the next 3 months, Jup will agree that i have always been an ?*$@hole, but after the operation i'll be a double ?*$@hole!


I'll not have any time to get any reading done in the loo, 2 minutes, i will empty and be out of there!


How do you know when a cabbage is boiled? The wheelchair floats to the top!


Monk has a bad fall, he is rushed to hospital, the left side of his body is completely paralysed. The doctor said "He will be all right!".


Monk was playing scrabble yesterday and put down the word Spastic, he got a cripple word for that!

Hi, Monk-- Just back. I did find our copy of, Is God a Mathematician? but haven't read it yet. Soon.

I just want to suggest that Fibonacci with his rabbit example was not a biologist. On the reproductive habits of bunnies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_rabbit This article explains how rabbits breed like, well, um, rabbits. It makes a nice explanation of exponential growth.

Some songs that you might enjoy:

And on the lighter, jazz side.

BTW, I try to act like a lady. On a good day, I can pull it off.

Hi Lady Waybread,


Thank you for the music, i tend to follow the beliefs of antiquity, of ancient Egyptians and Greeks, that when i die i will fly to the stars, but i don't want to go to Sirius or Alnilam, but a star called Lucy BPM 37093, i'm hoping to attract some girls there, at least they all will get a diamond ring:-


https://futurism.com/lucy-in-the-sky-with-diamonds/


It is a white dwarf star that is made out of diamond, being 10 billion trillion trillion carats, it should attract Marilyn Monroe:-


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaOPeVTnyCc


Perhaps my favourite girl will be there, being Jessica Rabbit ha ha!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy5THitqPBw


A few weeks ago an old friend died, one of the investigators of the Enfield Poltergeist, Guy Lyon Playfair:-


https://www.spr.ac.uk/news/guy-lyon-playfair-1935-2018



Maurice Grosse died in 2006, so i'm the only investigator left alive, and i'm half dead ha ha!


I'm waiting for compasses in my nursing home, i may have more to say about Phi within a month!
