Interesting, although crop circles may be made by FRIAMers in England. Paul

Scientists and mathematicians were stunned the other day when a new crop
circle appeared in a barley field in Wiltshire. When mathematicians analyzed
it, they realized that the concentric shapes represented the coded image of
a fundamental equation.
The 150-foot diameter image, found near Barbury Castle, an Iron Age fort,
represented the first 10 digits of pi (3.141592654, for all of you who don't
remember high school or GCSE math) �C the mathematical constant used to
calculate the measurement of a circle. Pi equals the circle's circumference
divided by its diameter. You work out the circumference of a circle by
multiplying the diameter by pi.
This is all the more remarkable because pi (or π., as it is represented in
Greek) is one of of nature's most amazing natural numbers. Pi fascinated
mathematicians since the early Greeks, and it was Archimedes who was the
first to investigate it rigorously.
*Nature's miracle*
It's an irrational number, which means that the decimals go on infinitely,
but also do not repeat. And despite teams of math whizzes analyzing pi up to
trillions of decimals using super computers, no pattern in the sequence of
digits has ever been found. All our mathematical equations of a circle's
area represent only a close approximation of the truth.
Pi is considered as fundamental to an understanding our world as the
Fibonacci, or Golden Mean (called Phi), a numerical pattern found in all of
nature, whether the numerical way in which breeding animals reproduce, or
the structure of plants. Leaves, seeds and petals are all placed at 0.618034
per 360-degree turn.
This kind of sequencing is even found in music. Mozart, who took a keen
interest in mathematics, famously created a dramatic changes at Golden Mean
moments: 61.8 per cent through a composition. Beethoven repeated the opening
bars of his Fifth Symphony 61.8 per cent through the work. Similar patterns
are found in the music of many cultures, most notably Indonesian music.
This is only the latest of sophisticated mathematical patterns found in crop
circles. One of the most famous formations depicted the image of a complex
set of fractals known as The Julia Set, in a field near Stonehenge, 12 years
ago.
Gerald Hawkins, a British mathematician and archaeo-astronomer, has
discovered designs in crop circles corresponding to previously unrecognized
musical ratios, unknown in conventional geometry.
*So why math ―and how?*
Colin Andrews, an electrical engineer and the world's leading authority on
crop circles, argues that crop circles result from the earth's
electromagnetic energy, after conducting extensive electromagnetic surveys
of circle circles and discovered spikes of the earth's electromagnetic
fields of 120 per cent.
Biophysicist William Devengood has found that the stems of the plants in
crop circles have consistently elongated stems, consistent with microwave
radiation.
And a Boston team of investigators says that it is some unknown 'quantum
energy', after finding anomalous changes in the soil �C consistent with
increases of temperatures of 600-800 degrees ― even though the plants
themselves, which are would be incinerated at such a heat, are left
untouched. Other scientists such as Russian physicist Dr. Konstantin
Korotkov, finds vast changes in the light emissions of humans when they
stand inside crop circles.
*A message from mother earth?*
The fact that the latest crop circle design shows one of the fundamental
ratios in nature suggests that crop circles are a physical and numerical
representation of some natural order of which we are a part. We respond to
crop circles, like nature or music, because they remind us that we are all
connected. All of heaven is contained in this simple design �C to remind us,
in these dark times, of who we are.
As part of our tools for a new world project, I'd like to create an Earth
Energies group, to discuss the effect of earth and planetary energies on us
and our extended human potential.
For our first week, your thoughts, please, on crop circles.
* What is causing them?
* And why are they mostly found in southwest England, near the Neolithic
sites of Averbury and Silbury Hill?
* How are we supposed to respond to them? As Colin Andrews says, "These
perfect geometries may contain very important information; it's up to us to
discover why they are formed and what positive attributes they have for
mankind."
