Hi all it is really too bad more people haven't read Clive's book. It is absolutely brilliant.

Meanwhile I have read a bit more of Clive Ross' book: "1o6: The Dawn of Man" and he has introduced A FOURTH MEASURING SYSTEM or at least another way of measuring.

Here is what Clive says on Page 268 of "1o6: The Dawn of Man" after talking about gravity and the need to find the velocity and acceleration of a falling body: "... Newton was a very clever mathematician, and he theorized the true motion (acceleration) of one body falling toward another body. To develop the theory he had to use logarithms and this type of mathematics was "developed" by The Greeks in Alexandria, Egypt.

Logarithms sound difficult to understand but in reality it is a simple way to multiply and divide by adding and subtracting. "

Clive goes on to explain how logarithms work in a very condensed version and then makes this brilliant insight after explaining that Newton calculated the force of gravity of 9.8 meter per second per second equals 18.76 cubits per second per second

He then again brilliantly noted that 18.76 is Log 1.2734

And his final in your face observation for now was that "the tallest pyramid on this planet has an angular slope equal to 4/Pi and this ratio equals 1.2734 ! "

One has to wonder just how clever Clive really was ...

Cheers and more later for indeed there is more to come ...

Best

PS: Please note that when I checked it I got 4/Pi = 1.27324

I also got 18.72 as the force of gravity in cubits per second squared. Can anybody figure out the log of 18.72 ? [www.1728.com]

Not sure how Clive calculated 18.76 but it is indeed correct to 4/Pi
