Scots Scientist Unravels Dan Brown Mystery Reinforces theory we live in simulated world
The secret astronomical meaning of the ‘Lost Symbol’, featured in Dan Brown’s novel of the same name, has been discovered by a scientist from Glasgow, Scotland.
David Cumming’s discovery unveils a hidden storehouse of astronomical information that relates to what Einstein called, “the greatest coincidence in the universe.”
The discovery sheds new light on the origin of our sun, earth, and moon and supports recent scientific speculation about the nature of our universe.
The ‘Lost Symbol’ in Dan Brown’s novel – a point within a circle – represents the creator of the universe in many ancient cultures, religions, and philosophies. (In the final paragraphs of his book, Brown asserts that ‘God’ is the Lost Symbol, so for Brown’s most pernickety fans, this discovery is about the lost meaning of the Lost Symbol of the Lost Symbol – Brown is never an easy read!).
In ancient religions and philosophies such as Hinduism and the ancient Egyptian culture, and in Western philosophical traditions such as that of Freemasonry, the point within the circle can be found with two vertical lines, one on either side of the circle, an image that David Cumming shows is integral to deciphering the Symbol’s long-lost meaning. In the modern world, the symbol is common though its meaning has been lost until now. As Dan Brown points out, one of the most prominent examples of the lost symbol can be seen in the Washington monument, when viewed from above.
David Cumming said: “The secret meaning of the lost symbol is a gateway to a fantastic set of astronomical coincidences. Einstein called one of these coincidences ‘the greatest coincidence in the Universe”, namely the fact that the moon completely covers the sun during a solar eclipse.
“To solve the puzzle and uncover the secret meaning of the ‘Lost Symbol’, I replaced the initial ‘point within a circle’ symbol, representing the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, by the astronomical figure ‘36682;, the number of days in Earth’s orbit around the Sun, in relation to the fixed stars. Then the two columns, or vertical lines found in history connected to the symbol, are placed on either side of 366, giving 13661.”
“When this number is doubled, this calculation gives the answer 27322. When a decimal point is added to make 27.322, we have the exact number of days in the Moon’s orbit around the Earth, again according to the fixed stars. This simple arithmetical manipulation points to a whole system of stunning astronomical ‘coincidences’ related to Einstein’s ‘most amazing coincidence’.”
Cumming spent several years of research and recently some difficult months pouring over astronomy charts and statistics with a calculator before discovering the secret gateway of the Lost Symbol.
The stunning implications of the Lost Symbol, and other newly uncovered secret scientific knowledge, including the symbol’s revelation as the ‘Lost Secret’ of Freemasonry, will be revealed in The Lost Symbol and the Lost Secret by David Cumming.
He added: “This discovery reinforces the recently developed theorising by many physicists and statisticians that we live in a simulated world. We may well be in some sort of vast advanced computer simulation, a constructed world, and not know it.”
