maxjam Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Apparently its turned up approx 20 years late... https://news.sky.com/story/mysterious-metal-monolith-found-in-remote-part-of-utah-by-state-officials-counting-sheep-12140885 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Fantastic. For those who don't know... The "new" one is the wrong size. It should go in ratios 1:4:9:16:25:... Of course only having puny 3D perception, the apes in the movie could only see the first 3 of these (depth 1, width 4, height 9). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Well, I used to find the most unexplained erections in weird places when I was young. I can remember seeing Alport Stone for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monolith extends in all sorts of spatial dimensions that we can't perceive. So the 16 is at right angles to the length, width and depth, and the 25 is at right angles to that as well. And so on. When I first read that in the book, it was like the scales falling from my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 It's weird that someone has gone to the trouble of doing this - presumably with the 2001 monolith in mind (unless there are others?) and get it so badly wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 An interesting claim that the Monolith has been there, unnoticed, for years. https://futurism.com/metal-monolith-location-google-earth/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTedd Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 It’s funny that 2001 seems like a really long time ago. But when the film was made, it seemed like the far future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
