Comments by "" (@tekannon7803) on "Will humans colonize Mars? | Brian Greene and Lex Fridman" video.

  1. Thank you Lex for another incredible interview with a visionary of our times. I'm an artist and inventor so the thing I am going to say does not come from my background. Brian said 'how do we terraform a planet." I know this is going to sound wild, but hasn't the Earth been terraformed? When you see a moon overhead that is the only reason for life being possible on the Earth and this moon being exactly 220,000 times smaller than the sun and exactly 220,000 times closer to the sun than the Earth and being a nearly perfectly sphere with a tidal orbit giving it about 12 rotations a year and giving us perfect solar eclipses, one has to look at it scientifically. Our civilization kick-started some 5 or more thousand years ago and un until then no one had even come up with the idea for a comb. Then cities, laws, schools, medicine, weaponry, structures came to be with precision that we cannot match today in many cases. There is something unusual about the human race having perfect races of black, white, red and yellow people that defies a natural evolutionary approach---again, only in my unschooled opinion. I believe the moon was terraformed and probably looked like phobos of mars. It was made to be a sphere, used as a pendulum to give us a perfect 24 hour day--another incredibly odd number so exact---and made with a tidal-moon---the only known tidal moon in the universe and its size is unusually large. You guys know best, I'm only throwing out ideas.

  2.  @TheJeremyKentBGross  GGGGGGGreat to hear from you. I am open to every single idea out there. What I try to do is stay neutral and give my opinions.

  3.  @FuriousImp  GGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you and the best thing I could ever want to happen is I am completely wrong. I have an open mind and try to stay neutral and thankfully there are people like you giving us information to make sense out of extraordinary occurances. I gather facts and when for example every one I have talked with claims The Great Pyramid of Giza was Koufu's tomb, I look at the facts I've gathered and say I think it was something else. Why would a tomb need expansion joints?1. It is 3/60th of a single degree of true north 2. It weighs 6 million tons 3. Its footprint is 13 acres 4. It’s more than 755.9 feet along each side 5. It’s 480.6 feet high 6. It has more than 2.3 million individual blocks of stone 7. It is locked into the Cardinal dimensions of our planet 9. The dimensions of our planet are incorporated into its dimensions 10. If you take the height and multiply it by 43,200 you get the polar radius of the Earth 11. If you measure the base perimeter of the pyramid accurately and multiply that measurement by 43,200 you get the equatorial circumference of the Earth 12. The scale is not random, the number 43,200 is derived from a key motion of the Earth, which is called the precession of the Earth’s axis 13. The Earth wobbles on its axis very slowly at the rate of 1 degree every 72 years; 43,200 is a multiple of 72; 600 X 72 15. So; they’ve given us the dimensions of the planet in The Great Pyramid of Giza on a scale defined by the planet itself 16. There are 70-ton blocks of stone raised 300 feet above the ground 17. It has eight sides, and at the spring equinox and the autumn equinox one side of the pyramid is in the shade in the morning and again in the late afternoon 18. It’s a calendar 19. It has expansion joints 20. It is located at the exact intersection of the longest line of latitude and the longest line of longitude of the Earth, in other words The Great Pyramid is located at the precise center of the Earth’s land mass. 21. The builders possessed highly sophisticated knowledge of mathematics and geometry 22. The builders had knowledge of the true dimensions of the Earth to extreme precision 23. The builders possessed exceptionally advanced technical instrumentation to site The Great Pyramid 24. Pi = C over D Phi = Divided by 5 + 1 over 2. Archimedes discovered Pi about 250 BC, but Egyptians knew of it 2,250 years earlier 25. The Great Pyramid is 146.75 m high, its height X a million equals the distance from the Earth to the sun 26. If you subtract the inner circle from the outer circle of the circumference of The Great Pyramid you get the speed of light in meters 27. The weight of The Great Pyramid is 5,273, 000 tons and that multiplied by a billion is the weight of the Earth 28. If you divide the perimeter of The Great Pyramid by ½ its height, the result is 3.14 = Pi

  4.  @FuriousImp  GRRRRRRRRRReat to hear from you. I think my editor would agree with you. In a month or my book will be available. It's another outrageous idea for an economic system to replace capitalism. I'm not an economist so I know in advance I'm going to getting a lot of comments similar to yours! It's my evaluation of an economic system that I think has run its course. I look at things and try to come up with solutions. A friend who is an archaeologist becomes angry with alternative ideas. He believes The Great Pyramid of Giza was Khoufu's tomb. Here's what I've come up with: 1. It is 3/60th of a single degree of true north 2. It weighs 6 million tons 3. Its footprint is 13 acres 4. It’s more than 755.9 feet along each side 5. It’s 480.6 feet high 6. It has more than 2.3 million individual blocks of stone 7. It is locked into the Cardinal dimensions of our planet 9.

  5.  @FuriousImp  GGGGGGreat to hear from you. If the first thing on the list didn't pan out, my God, what have I done? I'm tuning in from across the world from you and my job as an artist has made me try to think new ways. I'm doing surrealism now and I can tell you that it takes everything I got to come up with painting new worlds. I don't what happened back in time all those millenia ago, but I'll bet you we have got it all wrong.

  6.  @FuriousImp  GGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. There is one thing that you have that is unique only to you. In fact you couldn't even give it away if you wanted to. That's right, you have your opinion and no one else has it but you. I appreciated hearing your opinion and views and advice. But at some point down the line I have to come up with my own point of view that is unique only to me. Others may disagree or agree with what I say, but what's important is to do one's own research and come to one's conclusion and go after the next thing one wants to investigate.

  7. GGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. I think my editor would probably agree with you with all of the changes I keep making in a book that will be coming out soon---I hope sooner than the new year. Yes; I am guilty of opinions. I have invented an economic system to replace capitalism and I have had nothing but bad reviews. Economics is a hobby and not my profession, but I invented a system that I think---and no one else---would be better. Why? I don't like my money only being worth what people say it's worth like in the fiat system. That's right, I think we should go back on the gold standard. I like the idea of my money being worth something like gpld which is a commodity. Gold has worked for 5 thousand years. It's an example of how hard it is to change minds and bring in new ideas. But I understand people; they have the right to their opinions.
