The entire universe within a 1′ x 5′ board!
206 base-2 scientific notations
Evocative Questions: Is it possible to chart the entire universe, mathematically interrelated, using the five most basic solids? Is it meaningful to see the universe within 202+ steps?
206 base-2 scientific notations
|
THIS PROJECT uses base-2 scientific notation. The information within each notation going within or out is based on the prior work of people who have studied orders of magnitude and have used base-ten notation. Base-2 is more granular and relational. Also, it uses the extensive work of scientists and mathematicians who have documented nested polyhedra which opens the way for a more detailed study and understanding of each notation. Explore 117 steps going within to the smallest measurement at Planck’s constant and 85+ steps out to somewhere “near” the edge of the observable universe. Using the tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron and various manifestations of the dodecahedron, this working project is dubbed, a Big Board for our little universe. There are many blank lines asking for ideas, concepts, and eventually information. So, a warm welcome to you…. this page provides access to a work-in-progress. Friends and family have been invited to come in for a critical review. The hope is that the project will be validated in its scope and logic. If the logic and scope are in any way invalidated, the results of that process will be fully reported and analyzed. High school students are being invited to think about this big board as a relatively simple way to organize vast amounts of information. College students, graduate students, doctoral candidates, and post-docs are being invited to consider how theoria is reduced to praxis. Select business partners are being invited to consider if-and-how these concepts could be integrated within their own work. Some of the links take you to Small Business School. Starting Point. There are dozens of links that will be added over time. Please Note: To get back to this page quickly from the homepage of SmallBusinessSchool.org, cursor over CONTACT in the header, then click on ACCESS. Key Words: Universe, simplest three-dimensional objects, Plato’s solids, tetrahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron, hexahedron and hexacontagon. Description: This is a primary page for the research of the Big Board! A collaborative research and development of a comprehensive model that includes everything from the smallest scale to the human scale and then to the largest scale within the known universe. Working Title: A Big Board for our little universe The back story: This project began as a result of a high school geometry class in the greater New Orleans area. |
