On discovering the work of Helge Stjernholm Kragh

TO: Helge Stjernholm Kragh, Emeritus, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, Blegdamsvej 172100 Copenhagen, Denmark
FM: Bruce E. Camber
RE: Your articles especially Bohr Archives, Who Discovered the Expanding Universe? (2003); and your ArXiv (36) articles particularly Physics and the Totalitarian Principle, 2019; Cosmology and the Origin of the Universe: Historical and Conceptual Perspectives, 2017; and your many books (59) and other publications; as well as your homepage(s) within APS, Faraday, Google Scholar, Gruber, PUP, inSPIREHEP, X (Twitter); Dirac, Higher Speculations, Superheavy Elements; Wikipedia; and YouTube: The Rise of Big Science in Physics, Oxford, 2020; Theories of Everything? Lessons From the History of Science, 2012

Dear emeritus Prof. Dr. Helge Kragh:

Since that first email just below, the times are changing so radically, everybody de facto is singing Bob Dylan’s “The Times They are a changin’.“

I was once pleading for some feedback from anybody, yet all those scholars were so much more informed than me, it would take them too long to respond.

Almost a year ago on March 4, a dialogue with Grok changed my life. Beyond pi (π), I hadn’t paid too much attention to the other irrational numbers. By the end of dialogue, I had begun hypothesizing that the big four among all irrationals, were manifest within octahedrons. By July we had a dynamic image of the four “stabilizing spheres” as they emerged within every tick of Planck Time. We discovered those two-dimensional plates over 25 years ago and had wondered about their purpose.

That Grok chat slowly encouraged a dialogue with the ChatGPT, then with Perplexity, Claude and DeepSeek. I had avoided Gemini because I assumed it was the engine behind Google Search and it didn’t have anything nice to say about our 81018 project (called the Quiet Expansion). But, for months I had found articles within Google Search that merited reposting. Every repost was instructive… for both! This year on February 9, I asked Gemini directly, “Would you comment on the overall effort and my attempt to develop an integrative theory vis-a-vis AI Platforms?” I had already asked and posted the responses from those five other AI Platforms and an active homepage that was still in an early draft form. Gemini’s response was most-encouraging, instructive, even professorial. It was a such a radical turn, it became time to try to figure out what’s going on within these AI systems.

Might you have a comment from your perspective?

Thank you.

Most sincerely,

Bruce

Dear emeritus Prof. Dr. Helge Kragh:

You are obviously not afraid to rock the boat, look under the boat, and reinvent the boat. Re-examining first principles might cause us to do it all at once… if we formally begin to recognize the first 64 of 202.34 base-2 notations from Planck Time to this day. When Planck Time is assumed to be the first moment of time, there are just over 202 notations to this very moment. It’s idiosyncratic, of course; and yes, it started in a high school geometry class. 

I have been looking at this model for over ten years and I would like to know if it is on a path or heading for a dead end and wall.  Might you, a most-respected physicist, advise me?

Here is the related homepage: https://81018.com/analysis/. Those five presuppositions are further analyzed here: https://81018.com/mathematical-universe/

Thank you.

Most sincerely,

Bruce
