    Home-birth Midwife Ágnes Geréb Jailed in Hungary - Take Action Now!

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/oct/22/hungary-midwife-agnes-gereb-home-birth



    NOW! Freedom for Gereb Agi! The Midwife of Every 1000th Hungarian Citizen!

    The issue of midwife-assisted planned home-birth has been unresolved in Hungary for a long time. Despite well over ten years of efforts by activists, the area is still not regulated at all. Dr. Ágnes Geréb, qualified obstetrician and independent midwife, has been attending home births in a legal vacuum for two decades. On Tuesday, October 5th, she was arrested and placed in remand custody after an a controversial incident whose exact details are as yet unclear. She is used to persecution as she has had her obstetrician's licence suspended in dubious circumstances and criminal proceedings are in progress against her based on other highly contested incidents, but this is the first time she was actually put in jail and paraded in handcuffs and ankle chains in court. She awaits her court hearings on old and new charges in almost complete isolation, without access to a phone and without visitors. The Hungarian "experts" testifying against her are hospital obstetricians with little knowledge and no first-hand experience of midwife-assisted out-of-hospital birth who are largely unaware of the scientific evidence on the subject. It is not unreasonable to suppose that the witch-hunt is orchestrated by the lobby of gynecologists and obstetricians who are misinformed about the subject and who are also protecting their dominance of the field along with their vested financial interests.

    Freedom for Geréb Ági, Unconditionally and NOW!

    The statement below was issued by Physicians for Freedom and Safety in Childbirth, an organisation of Hungarian doctors who promote choice and safety in childbirth.

    Dear Friends,

    You may ask about my magic hyperbolic 0 curvature disc. How come?
    It looks really hyperbolic, because the surface itself is curling, but these waves are created by exact rules.
    They are logarithmic golden spirals. Some of them are horizontal and the rest are perpendicular to them, preserving the horizontal spirals as axes. The axis itself is rotating (further from the center, the rotation is increasing!) so , not the "material" of the disc is changing expanding or suffering torsion, but ONLY the AXIS is changing!

    This is the essence of the Sphidron deformation!

    The ridges at the circumference are showing up from "material" of what? It comes from an evenly developing "material" around the whole circumference. It means that the disc itself is only a representation of a larger disc. There is no measure of it. This way the change what you can experience as curling the surface is simply a wider part of the same surface. It is the proof of the characteristic of the plane. We have to accept that the plane is not plane, and the line is not a line, as well as the point is not a point. Those definitions of Euclides are good for learning, but they are not corresponding to the reality. Not at all. But try to use logarithmic golden spirals instead of compass and ruler. Everything will be fine, and you don't meet any irrational relation anymore. This is the button we need on each computer: Spidronise! End on all plans and drawings all data will get a common divisor.

    I tried! The Pythagorean Theorem is remaining truth is spite of sphidron deformation. Regarding only the vertices of the three squares around the right angle triangle, it preserves the angles and the ratios, for sure, while the figure is rotating and shrinkind as a whole! It is the result of the "planar" logarithmic golden curves on which the points of the original triangle are laying and running simultaneously.You must be smart, but it works after a while. I can show how.

    Have a look, here:

    Excuse me for my poor English!

    Best Regards
    Daniel

    At least in his book, Published in 2002 and spread worldwide since then.
    After I contacted his Company, Wolfram Research Ins., which is the developer of the famous software, Mathematica, I informed them about my new invention in 2009. This is the SpHidron deformation, based on my own 30 years long research of Spidrons. You can see examples of this new kind of deformation below in this page.


    This series of possible deformations does not contain my SpHidron deformation.

    He and his company did not want to publish anything about Spidrons, saying there is no scientific publication about the topic, what is actually not true, as we with my colleagues, The Spidron Team published several papers in the Proceedings of the World Conference on Art and Math - BRIDGES, and we published a paper with Mr. Lajos Szilassi in the Publication of the University of Pecs and Karlsruhe in 2004:

    There was published my website also in the MathForum in 2004:http://mathforum.org/electronic.newsletter/mf.intnews9.51.html

    After more mail we changed, Mr. Eric Weisstein erased the only link to my old webpage, disappearing all informations from their web portal, while he and his colleagues are publishing different articles close to my investigations. I decided to go to Atlanta, to talk personally with Mr. Stephen Wolfram. I asked him to give me some minutes to clarify the situation on the first day I arrived to the Gathering for Gardner 9, where he was an invited speaker. He said, ok, but until the last day he did not came to me, in spite I was always around in this small space of the Conference, and the garden party we were invited together to Tom Rodges house. On the last day I asked a nice man to give to Stephen my business card, and tell him that it is my note on the back of the little card. I wrote to Stephen asking his pardon for my rude manner when I wrote to his colleagues after asking them to actualize my spidron links. They did not, but I reacted it too angrily, so I thought it is the best to ask Mr. Wolfram excuse. After returning home I tried to send again the paper on spidrons and I got a mail from the company, saying that they can not open the pdf file. At that moment I sent the file to the gentleman who helped me to contact Stephen in Atlanta, asking him to forward my file to the Wolfram Research. Till then I have no reaction from them, only I had to experience, that my old link also disappeared.

    Surface is laying on some logarithmic spiral arms. 20 of it can fill the surface of the Sphere, like in the case of a icosahedron. But - to be honest - I don't believe in sphere, as they are simply doubled toruses. Torus has axis just like my creature has.




    Inside of this shape is 1/20 of the volume of a "sphere". But this "sphere" does not have an absolute size.

    I guess I have found the only possible 3D deformation of the Euclidean plane which - regarding of the 9 vertices of the basic shapes of the Pythagorean Theorem, like the triangle and the squares - is preserving the validity of the theorem. The triangle in the 2D plane is rotating and shrinking, but its proportions and angles don't change. I tried to make some drawings to demonstrate this interesting swirling deformation below.


    This picture shows how to make SpHidron deformation from the classical Spidron deformation


    The arms of the Sphidron disc are rotating around themselves. The longer distance from the center increases the measure of the rotation. Here the change of the rotation is continuous while in the case of Spidrons it is discrete.


    In between every pair of twirled arms must be another arm which like the twirled ones remains in one plane but it isn't not rotating around itself - like an axis - during this deformation.




    The spiral arms one by one remain on their own plane, but these planes on which they lie on can be lifted up and pushed down alternately. This way you can make more and more dense surfaces in the same volume.





    To make this deformation possible, you have to change your previous imaginations on the plane. It is a little more complicated, as the elements of the plane are not points with no dimension, but they do have dimensions, what make possible their rotation and sliding. While two of the neighboring "spoints" remain neighbors, the rest of them can be changed. Just like in the case of a simple pearl-string where every bounce has only and maximum two permanent neighbors.

    Design of the pavilion is a result of Dániel Erdély and The Spidron Team

    It is not the winner!, It is the looser application!
    Please don't let me misunderstood!




    The newest item in the exhibition space is the Caduceus. It is a rotating attribute of Hermes' wand.

    Animation can be seen:

    There is no point, no straight line, no circle, no sphere and no space in a manner how Euclide described them. There must be tiny elements, of which the plane is composed. These elements must have axes and radius to be able to slide and rotate around each other. If the particles -
    i.e. atoms - of the material (what have been called "ideal plane" by Euclid) can rotate like a spiral string, the sphere can be unfold to the plane without any problem preserving its metrical measures along the string and the other distances and angles also can be calculated. The inner arms are the rotating string arms, it will be a half of the final sphere. They are becoming straight lines on the surface of the sphere. The outer parts of these "S"-like figures can be bent and twisted and creating another halfsphere on the top of the other one.

    The plane what bisects the sphere can be deformed similar way as it is shown on (partly) the figure above. The orange ribbons are showing the tangent planes with simultaneously equivalent Gaussian curvature.

    Misleading Euclidean Geometry can cause total chaos in the future of humanity. It is quite obvious that somebody or some superpowers in the past hide the secret of the true geometry. Maybe it was the knowledge what sunk with Atlantis. Descartes and Johann Heinrich Lambert had the last attempt to recover the ancient knowledge, but his colleagues killed his theories on swirling "space" and other structures. The Sphidron Geometry renewed his and his ancestors ideas and made clear that the universe is a discrete entity made of finite elements. No point exists, the spheres are tori (plural of torus) with axes and the space is only 2D in an embedding physical context.



    you can see here some elements of the New Sphidronized Geometry without points and spheres.


    we are looking for the polyhedra which have changing egdes meeting in its vertices and surfaces which can be applied on the surface of the torical spheres. Gauss knew very well, that Kant made a mistake saying that the three dimensional picture of the universe is an a priori knowledge of the mankind. Einstein, Bolyai and Riemann made the situation more difficult with more complex visions of reality, while the real life is a comprehensive, simple two dimensional phenomenon with some thickness. Everything can be unfold. We are looking for the surface which is a deformed disc on the paths of two or three logarithmic golden spirals. On this surface the Pythagorean theory might be surviving. It is the only surface what can be said really 3 dimensional, but this dimension is only a tricky shadow of the imagined one. The rest is only is a birth trauma of the fetus, who was confronted to the gravity after delivery.

    How could a point rotate without a radius? How could a sphere rotate without an axis?
    But Point with a radius is not a point anymore, and a sphere with only one axis is not a sphere anymore. They are only abstractions of limited human fantasy.
