Some ofthe Freepers are into "Pyramid Power..."



Great pyramid of Giza’s shape can focus energy through its chambers

Andrey Evlyukhin, DSc, scientific supervisor and coordinator of the research said, “Egyptian pyramids have always attracted great attention. We as scientists were interested in them as well, and so we decided to look at the Great Pyramid as a particle resonantly dissipating radio waves.”

“Due to the lack of information about the physical properties of the pyramid, we had to make some assumptions. For example, we assumed that there are no unknown cavities inside, and the building material has the properties of an ordinary limestone and is evenly distributed in and out of the pyramid. With these assumptions, we obtained interesting results that can have important practical applications.”

Polina Kapitanova, Ph.D., an associate at the Faculty of Physics and Engineering of ITMO University said, “By choosing a material with suitable electromagnetic properties, we can obtain pyramidal nanoparticles with a potential for practical application in nanosensors and effective solar cells.

The first challenge would be to make pyramidal nanoparticles in the first place. Nanoparticles prefer to be round. Making them pointy is the first challenge. And a pyramid has a broken symmetry. Synthesizing THAT shape is virtually impossible.

And even if you manage, against all odds and all rules of thermodynamics and known solid-state-physics, to synthesize pyramidal nanoparticles, you have to repeat that trick with a material that has electronic properties you want.



We can make nanocones though.

Why ? Many feel it's because they were afraid of its power if the capstone was put back on via helicopter.

I think it's a conspiracy by the global industrial complex because the pyramid would have provided free global Wi-Fi !

Okay,well, maybe not but there is a valid reason why the capstone is missing and I hope to one day find out.
