53. Recall that one unit of resonance is represented by the Rosslyn Magic Ratio, 1 / 81 = 0.012345679 and that nine such units equals 0.11111111.
54. The earliest calendar was probably Vedic. Thus the Indo-Aryan calendar is based on the sidereal month of 27.3 days because it aligns with a solar sidereal year of 365.25 days. So using 28 days as the median between the 29.5-day synodic cycle of the Moon (new moon to new moon) and the 27.3-day sidereal month, there are approximately thirteen lunar months in the year. The numbers thirteen and twenty were also central to the Mayan Tzolkin calendar cycle of 260 days.
55. The difference between 13:8 = 1.625 and the golden mean of about 1.618 is .007. This fraction is the most likely origin and meaning behind medieval alchemist John Dee’s covert signature to Queen Elizabeth, which Ian Fleming used in his James Bond 007 spy novels.
56. The median between the 29.5-day synodic cycle and 27.3-day sidereal cycle is 28.4.

57. Discredited during the early twentieth century by the Michelson-Morley experiment, only recently did a NASA experiment manage to detect the existence of a space-time field around Earth. Named the “Gravity Probe-B” experiment, perfectly shaped balls inside a gyroscope were able to measure the gravitational warp and “frame-dragging” vortex of the Earth in the vacuum of space. With this the question has finally been settled. Some kind of etheric field does exist in the space vacuum.
