Working on a theory about crop circles and what they communicate. If I'm correct, the geometric shapes are the building blocks of communication needed for humans to reach the stars. I've noticed some patterns that may explain energy pathways that humans have not known how to explore and may even be the source of cold fusion energy.

Do a search on cropcircles........there's lots of stuff out there

It's been a long time but I believe it relates to the mathematical ratios between the wavelengths of the pitches of various notes... That's more physics than geometry, though.

The scientist in charge of this project were taking extra care with picture preparation. Go to the site and you will see that around May 17th I think we can start looking for the particles from space.\nSee link below for Stardust at Home

Well, think about your question... What's on the other side of every other border you know?  Another room, another zone, another country, another place of some kind.  Borders are edges, but they're edges that divide things.  Although it's kind of cool to think "what if there's a border to space!" then you've also got to think "so what's on the other side of the border - and does THAT place go on forever, or maybe it has a border, too."  And what's on the other side of that border?  So space, in some form, is going to go on and on and on. \n We can see almost 15 billion light years with some of our most powerful telescopes, and in all that huge distance there is absolutely nothing that looks like a border - it all looks infinite. Some scientists say maybe space is curved - but the curvature they're talking about is a curve with no border.  Wierd, eh?  That's why I like science - there are some very strange ideas turn out to be true.

Who knows, probably. I think they've been using the crop circles for navigation. We'll probably never know since the government is so secretive on this topic (Roswell, Area 51).

Well, centrifical force is what makes the world go round.  The concepts of eat and be eaten are what keeps our natural world going.  Humanity, however, is a different story.  \n\nMoney is a fairly new concept in our development.  A psychologist named Maslow came up with a hierarchy of needs that humans need to be met.  The very basic needs are our physical needs, for food, water, shelter, ect.  If those needs are not met, we devote all of our resources to fixing that.  As those needs are taken care of, we then move up the pyramid to saftey and security, love and belonging, finally ending with esteem needs.  \n\nA large portion of humans today have their basic needs met, which mean that they are now focusing on those higher needs.  The desire for romantic love, the desire to protect our children, the gathering of power, and the desire to have our system of beliefs be spread to others, these are the goals driving many people today.  These have started many wars, driven people to create art, fostered invention, and guided people's lives.  That's what keeps humankind running right now.

The earth is round due to its rotation and gravity.  The sphere is a perfect structure.  Think about it, the bubble forms a skin and holds its shape.  Hurricanes are circular, so are whirpools, dustdevils, tornados.

you can get those wire coat hangers and put like a lot of different spherical shapes in there representing the different planets..and put each in a different hanger connecting to something in the center of like a base so that it could"orbit"

The study of shapes generally falls under the subject of geometry. Geometry is important because it makes our lives very easy. Look around you. Everything that has been made in factories, from your table and computer to your door and the car outside on the road, all of it is made of several parts that have to have the exact shape to fit into each other. Do you think if the makers of these things did not know about shapes they would be able to build all these wonderful things. I don't think so.

two reasons, gravity and angular momentum.  Gravity tends to pull matter into one centralized spot, but angular momentum must be conserved.  That mass that escaped being part of the sun attracted mass to centralized locations, what became the planets, flattening things out to a disk shape

take a straw (cylinder) and ram it through a potato.  If you do it right, the straw will go right through the potato!  The cylinder is the strongest and most stable of the shapes and you can see why soups, veggies, fruits, etc. all come in cans!\n\nRight triangels, or right angles are all around you.  The floor and the wall of you room for example.  The bottom of a pool is a good example of an obtuse triangle, suspension bridges - trapezoid, if you look at the tip of a pencil - it's a cone but the shape of a cone when you look at it head on is a scalene triangle

That is why we should TERRAFORM MARS!!!\n\nAs a jumping point and practice for moving out into the stars!!!

Perhaps the specific origin of the original crop circles can not be known (without proof and confessions?).  However, present crop circles are likely copy-cat circles.  There could be as many motivations as there are people who make them.

A.) In his General Theory of Relativity, Einstein developed a mathematical description of gravity—one that links space to time and mass to energy in a fundamentally geometrical fashion. In other words, mass(-energy) shapes space(-time) instead of acting like a “force” in the traditional Newtonian sense.  (Thus, in Newton’s description of gravity, one would say that all bodies exert an attractive gravitational force on one another. In Einstein’s conception, one would say that all bodies change the underlying geometry of space-time in a way that causes them to be attracted to one another.)  Thus, our best understanding of gravity is that it’s a fundamental property of space-time to be “warped” by the presence of mass(-energy). So gravity is simply a property of space-time, and most likely, it came into existence at the same time.  (One caveat: curvature or warping really only provides an analogy to what the equations tell us. If you want to imagine the effects of an object on its surrounding space-time, then you can think of it as changing the shape of space-time in its vicinity. The distortion is real—we can measure its effects—but the images that are often presented of flexible sheets of space-time with bowling balls or marbles rolling around on them, for example, simply present analogous situations.)\n\nB.)  Spinning is a common attribute of objects in the Universe because the way things form virtually always leaves them in rotation, and once things get started rotating, it’s hard to make them stop.  It’s not intuitively obvious, but if you take, say, a cloud of gas and dust collapsing to form a planetary system, then averaging all the random motions of the particles will leave you with some tiny element of rotation.  As the collapse takes place, any rotation will be magnified, so you end up with planets revolving around their parent stars, and planets themselves rotating on their axes.\n\nC.)  It’s doubtful that we’ll ever acquire much in the way of interstellar real estate, simply because the distances involved are so great.  Our best hope is to carry on radio communication with them, but even at the speed of light, it would take decades or centuries for radio signals to travel between us and the stars currently within our range of communication.\n\n\nRyan Wyatt\nRose Center for Earth & Space\nNew York, New York

I think we, as humans with limited brain capacity, have to think of things in terms that we can understand. Instead of space being this infinite area, we put a shape to it, a circle.\n\nMy thought is that space truly goes on forever, and does not have a true shape.

your right...perhaps your teacher miss understood what you meant, or maybe he/she just has no idea. it makes perfect sense. the body would be confused in the gravity free environment, so these are the signals it'd send to the brain. if the signals themselves were confusing, how is your body going to respond to it at all?

Optical telescope based information about these bodies largely comes from the frequency spectrum of the light we receive.  Peaks and dips at particular frequencies can identify relative abundance of some of the elements in the star which emit those frequencies, and substances in the light path that absorb specific frequencies.  Frequency shifts of these features indicate velocities.\nOther information comes from distortion of the image due to gravitational "lensing" (bending of the light by objects in the light path).
