Road trip 3 of 4 - WD Gann's Memorial Triangle

Standing directly behind WD and Sadie Gann's grave stone at about noon on the Sumer solstice and looking, conceptually, across the river at One World Trade Center, I "knew" there would be greater mathematic reality hidden in the Cartesian coordinates of the real and fictional sites about which Mr. Gann wrote.  I had immediately noticed that the face of the grave stone was 'square' with 1WTC and, therefore, with lower Manhattan; not simply square with the Island of Manhattan.  It was square with the most notable marks of Manhattan; 1WTC and the Empire State Building.  And though I did not then realize it, it was NOT generally square with the whole of Manhattan or midtown.  AND, after walking around a bit, I saw that the Statue of Liberty to the left of the line of sight of the WTC.  In theory, the Mammouth Building at 42nd and Broadway south would have been to the right of the line of sight of 1WTC.

As I wrote on my note pad (shamefully and irreverently perched on the stone) the Cartesian coordinate of the stone based on my iPhone, the thought of that greater geometric reality dawned on me and I took a picture to monument that moment:

Such a humble grave stone for a Freemason of the highest level of achievement (32 degree, some believe 33); but perhaps not inconsistent with the craft as well.  Or, just perhaps, he constructed a hidden memorial geometry that only the dedicated and worthy…or err, the obsessive and without a life…might uncover.

An obsessive, I pondered that questioned for two days and then decided, yes he would.  And on the morning of the date of June 23, 2015 I used an iPhone and that same pad of paper to run some calcs.  I found two meaningful figures, one of which will be revealed in this post and one in a subsequent post.  I ran the calcs beginning at near exactly 7am on June 23rd as the bell of the Trinity Church sounded 7 chimes and completed the work and hour later…this time, 8 chimes of Trinity.  I was sitting in front of the Newport Tower in Newport RI.  The view in the foreground is the Newport Tower, argued to have been built by Elizabethan court scientist, John Dee, whose name is coded in TTTTA some 45 times.  The steeple in the background is that of Channing Memorial Church.

Yes he did.  I submit three meaningful points to Mr. Gann were 1) his final resting place, 2) the Statue of Liberty and 3) the Mammouth Building (which he intentionally misspelled in the Tunnel Thru the Air).  Those points are so enumerated as such on the following map:

Perhaps you recognize the apparent right triangle?  Indeed it is.  Using the coordinates to compute distances via the Haversine formula you will find that the angle at the Statue of Liberty point 2 is 89.99 degrees.  The details of the calculation may be derived from the information HERE.  At the bottom of that spreadsheet are 5 links.  The last 3 are satellite photos of the exact placement of each of the three points.  Also note the other angles of the right triangle are 33 degrees and 57 degrees.  Hmmm, weren't there two mysterious sets of 3 dots on the face of Mr. Gann's stone?  33?

33 and 57 degrees, make that exactly 33.25 and 56.75 degrees.  56.75 / 33.25 = 1.706767.  Recall the philosopher stone numbers of WDG and John Dee, 432 and 252, respectively.  432 / 252 = 1.714286.  Those same numbers reduce to 12 / 7, numbers of Biblical renown.  And remember the extrapolation of the plot number 37747.  Multiply the components of 3*7*7*4*7= 4116.  Now, add the non 7 numbers in 37747 and you get four 7s.  Then multiply those four 7s to get 7*7*7*7=2401.  And 4116 / 2401 equals, you guessed it, 1.714286.  The quotient of the angles of 1.706767 is rather close to the philosopher stone quotient of 1.714286.  And the philosopher stone quotient is also the Egyptian Royal Cubit of 1.714286.  Interesting coincidence.

The presentation of Gann's Memorial Triangle seems easily conclusive that Mr. Gann created a work of geometric art.  But it is only idle art on the surface.  There is far far deeper meaning.  The triangle seems to present a Euclidian triangle (a triangle in planar space) but that is not reality.  The reality is that the distances are computed via spherical trigonometry; the Haversine formula…great circle methodology.  The reality is that Euclidian geometry is not reality but a simplification of space reality.  Gann knew this, in my opinion, and he is introducing us to that reality.  He knew far far more about non Euclidian geometry and Einsteinian physics than anyone has ever identified.  I hope to provide an attractive case to that end in the several posts going forward.  It will take a lot of time to make that case.  Many posts, and many errors along the way.

But, for now, let's put to rest the idea that WD and Sadie H. Gann are memorialized by a 'plain' memorial stone.  I'm not aware of any that sport a memorial with a perimeter spanning 16 miles of some of the richest and most historic real estate in America, if not the world.

One last note.  The Mammouth Building (42nd and Broadway) is within 1/2 degree of being perfectly due north of point 1, plot 37747.
