How could the 3 ton blocks of the Great Pyramids be cut within 1/50th of an inch in every direction?

They were hand chiseled by skilled craftsmen.

While i agree with droptoptommy. there are places that already have pressure splitters that might be willing to cut it for you.. sometimes for free if they arnt  busy and its no trouble.\n\nOther then that, the circular saw is about the best bet, as it cuts the straightest line and removes the least amount of material from the stone.

Precision cutting slices two genuine quarters in half so two heads are obtained, the two heads are then carefully placed together making a double headed quarter, aka Two Headed Quarter. \n\n\nhttp://www.prankplace.com/quarter.htm

Form a triagle. Cut the "corners" off.

NO way to do it cheap and safe.\nAlso, due to the size, moving is difficult, unless you can build it in parts, and keep it together while using it.

Take the mass 3M on the ramp.  The weight of the mass 3Mg will have a component 3Mg(cos(theta)) along the ramp; (theta is the angle the ramp makes with the vertical).\n\nThis will be the force acting on it along the ramp, downward.\n\nThe upward, along the ramp force on it will be Mg, the weight of the hanging mass.\n\nIf Mg > 3Mg cos(theta) the block will move up.  If Mg < 3Mg cos(theta), it will move down.  if the two are equal, it remains stationary.\n\nOr,\ncos(theta) < 1/3 , moves up\ncos(theta) = 1/3 , stationary\ncos(theta) > 1/3, moves down.

All in one lump?\n\nGoogle "100 ton crane"\n\nThere are many shipyard cranes that can do this.\n\nGoogle "rolling platforms"\n\nIf it is divided up a train can move it.\n\nYou may want to check out "Euclid Trucks"  or "Ore trucks"\n-- I don't know what the max there is.\n\nMight be some "Mining shovels" too.\n\nFor airplanes, the Russians make a very big one called an Antonov something.  Google "Antonov Heavy Airlift"\n\nProbably needs new tires often, and very strong runways.\n\nThat's all I can think of, ships are too obvious. Keep it under 13 feet height to use highways.  Maybe some special routes for 13.5 and higher, you need the Master Truck Router, for that.  Why not Google it to see what comes up?

I'm not entirely sure to what it is you're referring.  Most Egyptian pyramids are built of stone blocks or slabs - roughly dressed on the interior and smoothed on the exterior.  Typically the stone is limestone for the exterior, with the occasional use of granite on lower courses.  Interior chambers in the pyramid itself or subterranean chambers were frequently lined with a different type of stone - granite was a popular choice.\n\nThe peaks of the larger (ie. royal) pyramids are now large flat spaces now that stone has been robbed out and the pyramidia (capstones) have been removed.  The capstones, from what we know from contemporary inscriptions and a few examples that have actually been found were essentially little pyramids in miniature, each face was inscribed with the name of the pyramid  - each royal pyramid was named, usually a name including the nomen and/or prenomen of the king for whom it was built.  Additional inscriptions usually concerned the sun god and/or were specific to the cardinal direction that face of the pyramid faced.\n\nIt is extraordinarily unlikely that Egyptian pyramids serve as radio receivers and even more unlikely that they were designed to do so.  They were tombs.

Stick the toothpicks together in a kind of lattice-work.  Making series of triangles, and then assembling the triangles into a larger structure will give you the greatest strength/weight ratio.

They use a special cutter that's made using smaller diamonds :-)

Take a cube and put handles on the top and bottom surfaces...\n\nFirst push on it from the top and the bottom - the block  is in compression. Next, pull on the top and the bottom - the block is in tension. Finally, push the top to the left and the bottom to the right (don't rotate the cube - keep the forces parallel to the top and bottom surfaces) - that is shear.

I wouldn't attempt it unless you can level the ground. Trying to put blocks under the legs is a recipe for disaster.

They don't.\nFamously, the pyramid at Meidum collapsed. Some say that the Bent Pyramid was being built at the time and that's why the builders switched to a safer and shallower angle during  construction.

Probably silicone and iron.   It's a friggin big rock.   Hollow it out a bit; near the center the gravity is probably near earths gravity.
