In this book Richard Heath unveils the numerical patterns and properties that link the familiar celestial obects in our solar system together. I couldn't put this book down at times, it certainly filled my mind with wonder. It requires good concentration to grasp the maths involved, but is well worth the effort, revealing unthought of connections in space between planets and the Moon and Earth etc. Richard certainly has done his homework, and for me this book offers overwhelming evidence that the physical structure of the universe is underwritten by a coherent and intelligent numerical framework that doesn't seem very "accidental." The fact that it displays these properties, and that the human species has somehow the powers of intellect to comprehend it, places mankind right in the center of creation, so to speak, but only if we choose to go there. Have you ever stopped to think about exactly what the odds are of existing on a ball of earth that is spinning through space at 66,600 miles per hour, which just happens to have the perfect conditions to enable your existence? Could there be more to life than meets the eye? Whats life all about anyway? Books like this might help get you thinking...

Was the solar syatem designed?
3 Jun 2005
Format:Paperback
Why do the "Intelligent Design" people put all their effort into demolishing a superior system of biology. The best indications of design are in the numerical facts of the solar system where the golden mean is found and the numbers of the orbit of the moon match those of the orbit of Jupiter. Richard Heath, continuing a path pioneered by John Mitchell and others presents facts that are hard to digest. Yes, I would like read a debunking of what is presented here, but I have a feeling that I will not get one. The book is sometimes difficult to follow, and one must read some parts more than once to understand them. Constantly one feels that this cannot be. The measurements of the bodies in our solar system must be just happenstance. They cannot fit together in a numeric system as presented here. So is Heath twisting the numbers? Apparently not. Then what does it mean that this is so? Certainly this is a challenge for science, but it actually an even bigger one for the dogmatists of our age. The so-called "Intelligent Design" people will not accept this because to do so requires an acceptance of older gods.

Planetary Orbits - What Goes Around Comes Around
2 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Four stars are for the concepts the book presents, not because it is particularly well written. It is interesting and develops some incredible relationships. In particular, matrices can be constructed using celestial periods which yield musical harmonics, and that the stability of our solar system is based on an intricate system of energies from all the other planets and our moon.
But... Although I've got a degree in math, I'm not real familiar with astronomy. In some chapters, I had to stop several times, get online, find out the point this author was trying to make, then go back to this book once I figured it out. It was a lot of work, and it didn't need to be this difficult to present.
Here's a prime example from page 38: "As seen in the last chapter, the practical year is divided into five equal pieces by the eightfold, Fibonacci-based synodic year of Venus."
This could have easily read, "Five Venus orbits equal eight Earth orbits, and this 8:5 ratio approximates the Golden Mean." Whew! It may not sound as intellectual, but you don't have to re-read it five times to get the meaning.
On a positive aspect, the figures (drawings) showing relationships between orbital periods, days, etc. were excellent and a great aid in visualizing the relationships.
Even with the difficulties, it is well worth reading.

Astonishing

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
An incredible work. This is the type of information we should have been studying in school, not the nonsense that passes for today's education.
