Confirming aspects of Mr. Gann's Modus Operandi - 82

Some time ago, I traced several indications that WD Gann wrote or was in some way responsible for the writing and publication of "The Ancient Science of Numbers" under the pen name of Luo Clement.    I believe the evidence is a preponderance, but that's me.  Interestingly, "Ancient Science" was published by the similarly curious Roger Brothers, Publishers of 82 Duane Street.  In total, that I can find that is, there are less than 15 books (a recollection of my searching exercise) ever published by that publisher.

Following the thread, I found that a then forthcoming book on "Numerical Vibrations" was announced on the 4th page of "The Ancient Science of Numbers" and advanced orders were being taken.  "Numerical Vibration" was never published, or, at least, that I can find.  In searching and searching I found only one notice in a publication of books wanted which was dated September 22, 1920.  From 1908 to 1920, the Internet gives only one citation of any mention of "Numerical Vibrations" and it was a request to purchase the book, a book for which publication is not noticed anywhere that the Internet can find.

So, on that slimmest of a clue I found a series of articles in Scientific American published by an author who was the judge in a contest; he was named the "Einstein Essay Contest Editor."  The Einstein Editor remained anonymous to this day.  I purchased a subscription to Scientific American to read those 5 articles by the Einstein Editor and to pose the question of who was that person.  Not surprisingly, they took my question, referred it to the "appropriate department" and I have not heard from them again.  The Einstein Editor says that, similar to Michael Faraday who taught public seminars so that men without the means might understand physics, so the Einstein Editor taught night school in physics at NYU.  Similarly, I have not been able to identify the Einstein Editor on that faculty in 1920.

The 5 articles are rich in physics and the Einstein Editor, of his own device, posits the theory that a system of Cartesian Coordinates and Euclidian geometry could provide a spacetime solution that otherwise the Einsteinian theories of fourth dimensional spacetime labor to provide.  Hmmmm.

So there, I'm out on the proverbial weak limb.  What might confirm that Mr. Gann planted another date clue that would lead to some aspect of the mathematics and science that underpinned his methods?  And, having read and re read those articles, they fall in line with the other clues he's left; the cameo of Dr. Descartes in 'The Tunnel Thru the Air," Robert Gordon's 7 days being a study in Cartesian coordinates, time and the Pythagorean/Euclian solution thereby represented…..so many others.  The Einstein Editor is Mr. Gann or a member of his "posse" as I've also previously offered.

So, is there anything that might support the limb on which I'm perched?  Modus operandi.

On that striking page 82 of "The Tunnel Thru the Air," we find Mr. Gann ruminating about an article that appears in the "New York American" on January 29, 1922.  It introduces the prophecies of St Malachy and notices the "remarkable events" that will occur following the election of the 266th Pope.  Interesting that Mr. Gann would consider the events in the age of the 266th Pope in 1927 when he darn well knew the 266th Pope would not be elected for nearly 100 years.  In fact, Pope Francis is popularly considered the 266th Pope and he was elected less than 2 years ago.  Page 82 was, somehow, a clue for our age.  But I'm off topic.

Interesting.  Let's Google that date, for New York (leaving off the American) and Malachy.  Lo and behold what pops up, page 8E (the 8th page of section E) of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and the prophecies of St Malachy.  Didn't WDG live in Brooklyn-yes he did.  It is continued from page 2.  8 and 2.  As in page 82 of TTTTA.  As in 82 Duane Street, the location of the Roger Brothers.  The location of WDG's last office at 82 Wall Street.  You can find what I found right HERE.  Malachy is found in the 3rd paragraph under the subheading "His Answer to the Jews." It's interesting to read the remainder of that article.

But it doesn't stop there.  When I tried to back up to read the entire article, I had to Google "The Brooklyn Daily Eagle" January 29, 1922 and what did I see?

And what is the last two words of the first Google result?  Page 82.

How many pages are in the January 29, 1922 issue of The Brooklyn Daily Eagle?  Well, this is what the scanner counts.  It counts 81 pages and you can see the screen capture of page 2E below.  Notice that page 2E is the 64th page out of 81 pages.

Hmmm, interesting harmonics to 64.  But odd that a newspaper has 81 pages or the square of 9.  How does a newspaper have 81 pages?  There isn't a blank cover page or rear page.  I'll forego flipping through the paper for a missed scanned page…there must be an 82nd page.  Mustn't there?

I take away two things; 82 is an important number, either as a part of the geometry or as a reference to important meaning.  [I have discovered the square of 82 in WD Gann's Memorial Triangle along with 120 and 144 and will publish those findings in a forthcoming essay.]

And I take away something else.  It may be Mr. Gann's modus operandi includes using a far fetched date to link to a distant but complimentary discussion of similar concepts.

So, is it so far fetched that the never published "Numerical Vibrations" links to a single notice some 12 years later and that date leaps to the work of the Einstein Editor?

Long ago I ceased believing in coincidence.
