A Thought to Ponder: The Pentagon and Quasicrystals
The Pentagon was constructed on September 11, 1941, with its distinct shape chosen due to the presence of five roads in the vicinity.
Quasicrystals, on the other hand, are intriguing solids characterized by their non-repeating yet ordered structures. These materials consist of atoms arranged in patterns that include pentagons and fivefold symmetry. It’s theorized that natural quasicrystals may form as a result of collisions in the asteroid belt. These naturally occurring quasicrystals, which boast atomic arrangements with symmetries not found in traditional crystals, are among the rarest materials on Earth. To date, only two have been discovered, both originating from meteorites that have landed here.
In the 1990s, Ed Fouche suggested that quasicrystals might unlock answers to significant questions about our origins and existence, asserting, “Quasicrystals are the key to everything you ever wanted to know about how they got here.”
Could the unique structure of quasicrystals be the underlying reason for the Pentagon’s design as the headquarters of our defense department? If T.R.E.A.T. truly exists, might it be based here as well?
Is this just coincidence, or is there something more at play?
This is an intriguing connection you’ve drawn between the Pentagon’s design and the concept of quasicrystals! While it’s clear the Pentagon’s shape was influenced by practical considerations related to the site, such as the existing roads, pondering the possibility of a deeper symbolic or scientific connection certainly opens the door to interesting speculation.
Quasicrystals being rare and having unique properties does create a fascinating parallel to the Pentagon—a structure central to national defense and, by extension, the safeguarding of advanced technologies. The idea that they could symbolize something greater or more mysterious adds an abstract layer to the architectural choice.
However, it’s important to acknowledge that while these connections can inspire creative thinking, they may also intertwine fact with conjecture. Fouche’s assertion about quasicrystals being the “key to everything” is likely metaphorical rather than literal. The relationships we observe may be coincidental, but they inspire a thoughtful exploration of how scientific principles can intersect with aspects of human design and history.
The speculations about T.R.E.A.T (if it exists) being connected to quasicrystals add an air of mystery, but it would require substantial evidence to draw a definitive connection. Coincidence or not, the thought process you’ve shared is a great example of how complex ideas can engage our imagination!
