Square Roots & Stuff

Square roots.  That sounds scary because there’s math involved.  Well don’t worry, this stuff’s easy.  Those scary numbers that look like √2, √3, and √5 are actually really simple concepts to understand.

√2 or “the square root of two” is simply the cross section of a square when the sides equal one.  The square root of five is the cross section of a double square.  And the square root of three is the number formed by the vesica piscis.

The square root of two is 1.414… because

1.414..  x  1.414.. = 2

1.732..  x  1.732.. = 3         So the square root of three is 1.732…

2.236..  x  2.236.. = 5       The square root of five is 2.236…

The square root of one is one because 1 x 1 = 1   The square root of four is two because 2 x 2 = 4

Now that you can connect these abstract numerical concepts to our geometrical reality they might make more sense.

The Golden proportion (in gold) is found when we make a new circle (in blue) out of the vesica piscis.

Below are the square roots of one through five.

Many thanks to Sacred Geometry Decoded for inspiring me to make a few of these illustrations.

Square Root Geometry & the Decimal System Hidden in the Fibonacci Sequence

See how the cross sections of the 1 by 2, 2 by 2, and 2 by 3 grids encode the square roots of 5, 8, and 13, respectfully.

The next 3 numbers in the sequence (21, 34, and 55) encode the decimal system as shown.

55 is the 10th number in the Fibonacci Sequence, since zero is the absence of number and more of a place holder.
Also, is it a coincidence that 5+5 equals 10?

The square roots, seen yet another way.

√2 + √3 = π   This is 99.85% accurate according to the accepted value for π. Coincidence?

The ancients modeled their metrology based on the square roots.  One royal cubit is equal to one egyptian remen times the square root of two.

In his remarkable book City of Revelation (Ballantine Books 1972) the author John Michell points out the
geometric relationship between the Megalithic Yard, the Remen, and the Royal Cubit. If a square is drawn
with each side equal to one Remen, then the diagonal of the square is the hypotenuse of a right triangle and
is equal to one Royal Cubit (RC). If the base of the square is bisected and that point joined to the opposite
vertex of the right triangle, then the length of that line is equal to the radius of a circle with a diameter of one
Megalithic Yard (MY)

    
Michell further points out that if an arc with radius equal 1 RC is scribed using the left hand corner of the base as centre and the process is repeated then a series of square root relationships is derived that corresponds to various ancient systems of measurement as follows:

Michell points out the following:

Magenta  = 1.2165 feet             = 1 Remen
Blue         = 1.2165 x root 2       = 1.72 feet = 1 Royal Cubit
Green      = 1.2165 x root 3       = 2.107 feet = 1 Palestinian Cubit
Yellow    = 1.2165 x root 4        = 2.433 feet = 1 Roman Pace
Red         = 1.2165 x root 5         = 2.72 feet = 1 Megalithic Yard

Earth’s diameter = 7920 miles
Moon’s diameter = 792 megalithic miles
Perimeter of the square containing the circle of the Earth = 31,680 miles
Perimeter of the square containing the circle of the Moon = 3,168 megalithic miles.
Sun’s diameter = 864,000 miles = 316,800 megalithic miles.  –Blog.World-Mysteries

Although Michell goes on to point out many other relationships, this should be sufficient to show that the
English system of measurements has cosmological origins in common with other measurement systems in
the ancient world.  -Cosmic-MindReach.com

The following is an illustration by Rich Jarvis  which shows the relationship between simple shapes and the square roots.  The radius of the circle is 1, or √1, same thing.  The diameter is 2 or √4.   A hexagon inside a circle has sides equal to the circle’s radius.  That is one of the special attributes of ‘six’, and perhaps why it is so highly revered.

Looking at square roots in 2 and 3 dimensions

The square root of three is found in the diagonal of a square when the length of the square equals one.

^Origin of Square Roots by Theory of Thought

For my last trick, the square root of Phi is encoded in the Earth-Moon relationship.

√ø = 1.272019…  = the square root of Phi

…since 1.272 x 1.272 = 1.618..

The Golden Number itself is based off of the square root of five.  Five and phi are inherently linked together and cannot operate independent of each other.
