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

-2-
|
||
|
||
|
||
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.
