To be defined as ‘cool’…. Used to have so much more meaning, back in the day, than what constitutes it today. Today? Being “nice to people”… Just makes ‘cool’ seem so bland. Or is it just me? [via ScienceBlog]What Does It Mean To Be Cool? It May Not Be What You Think Research led by a University of Rochester Medical Center psychologist and published by the Journal of Individual Differences has found the characteristics associated with coolness today are markedly different than those that generated the concept of cool. “When I set out to find what people mean by coolness, I wanted to find corroboration of what I thought coolness was,” said Ilan Dar-Nimrod, Ph.D., lead author of “Coolness: An Empirical Investigation.” “I was not prepared to find that coolness has lost so much of its historical origins and meaning—the very heavy countercultural, somewhat individualistic pose I associated with cool. “James Dean is no longer the epitome of cool,” Dar-Nimrod said. “The much darker version of what coolness is still there, but it is not the main focus. The main thing is: Do I like this person? Is this person nice to people, attractive, confident and successful? That’s cool today, at least among young mainstream individuals.” [Read More] However if people polled today would have said… That to be cool? One had to make up a secret music code and hide it the words of your writings. Oh, yeah – That’s not only cool, that’s just &%$*#!@ awesome! [via Telegraph] Researchers claimed they cracked “The Plato Code”, the long disputed secret messages hidden in some of Ancient World’s most influential and celebrated writings. Dr Jay Kennedy, an historian and philosopher of science at the University of Manchester, found Plato used a regular pattern of symbols to give his writing a “musical” structure. In his five year study, Dr Kennedy found Plato, who died around 347BC, used the symbols inherited from the ancient followers of Pythagoras. His findings, published in the American classics journal Apeiron, suggested Plato was not only a secret follower of Pythagoras but also shared his belief that the universe’s secrets lay maths and its numbers. The study, which has created excitement in the academic world, also suggests he anticipated the scientific revolution of Galileo and Sir Issac Newton by about 2,000 years after “discovering its most important idea (that) the book of nature is written in the language of mathematics”. Dr Kennedy said the key to unlocking the code came from the 12 notes of the Greek musical scale, which he said was popular among followers of Pythagoras. Using computer technology, he restored contemporary versions of Plato’s manuscripts to their original form, which he said consisted of lines of 35 characters, with no spaces or punctuation. Dr Kennedy discovered that some key phrases, themes and words occurred during regular intervals throughout, which matched the spacing in the 12 note scale. He argued that Plato did not use the code for pleasure, but instead for his own safety after his teacher was executed for heresy. “Secrecy was normal in ancient times, especially for esoteric and religious knowledge but for Plato it was a matter of life and death,” said Dr Kennedy, a researcher in the Centre for the History of Science Technology and Medicine. “Encoding his ideas in secret patterns was the only way to be safe.” [Read More] Beyond cool! Oh, what? ‘Creating a secret music code’ is so much cooler than ‘nice’… And you know it is.

Otkrivene tajne poruke drevnih Platonovih tekstova O njegovim djelima raspravljalo se i debatiralo više od 2000 godina, no čini se kako grčki filozof Platon još uvijek ima par iznenađenja u rukavima Naime, britanski akademici tvrde da su otkrili seriju tajnih poruka skrivenih i nekim od najutjecajnijih i najslavnijih djela antičkog svijeta. Kodovi sugeriraju da je Platon bio tajni sljedbenik filozofa Pitagore, te dijelio njegovo vjerovanje kako tajna svemira leži u brojevima i matematici. Tvrdnje da stari tekstovi sadrže tajne poruke normalno bi trebalo uzeti s dozom skepse. No posljednju studiju proveo je priznati znanstvenik sa Sveučilišta Manchester, a prihvatili su je i vodeći britanski akademici. Kako navodi dr. Jay Kennedy, neka od najvažnijih Platonovih uvjerenja skrivena su u njegovim rukopisima. ˝Platonove knjige odigrale su glavnu ulogu u stvaranju zapadnjačke kulture, no misteriozne su te sadrže zagonetke. U njegovo doba, mnogi sljedbenici tvrdili su kako knjige sadrže skrivena značenja i kodove, no to je moderna znanost odbacila.˝ >> 7 izgubljenih knjiga koje bi promijenile svijet ˝Radilo se o dugoj i uzbudljivoj potrazi, no uspio sam razbiti šifre. Dokazao sam da knjige sadrže kodove i simbole, te da njihovo otkrivanje pokazuje tajnu Platonovu filozofiju. Rezultati su bili zadivljujući - kao da ste otvorili grobnicu i našli sveske evanđelja koje je pisao sam Isus˝, dodaje dr. Kennedy. Ključ otkrivanja Platonovog koda leži u grčkoj glazbenoj ljestvici od 12 tonova, koja je bila popularna među sljedbenicima ranijeg filozofa Pitagore. Kennedy otkrio je da ključne fraze, riječi i teme pašu u regularne intervale kroz Platonov rukopis, te da odgovaraju poziciji tonova u glazbenoj ljestvici. Njegovo najslavnije djelo ˝Republika˝, sadrži 12,000 Homerovih linija teksta. Kennedy otkrio je da se svakih 1000 linija, Platon vraća muzičkoj temi. Znanstvenik smatra da bi slijed simbola bio očit drevnim sljedbenicima Pitagore. Stoljeće prije, Pitagora je izjavio kako planeti i zvijezde stvaraju nečujnu glazbu ili ˝harmoniju sfera˝, te da tajna svemira leži u matematici. Prisutnost i priroda skrivenih kodova sugerira kako je i Platon vjerovao isto, te da je 2000 godina prije stvaranja moderne znanosti, ostavio poruku kako matematika i logika vladaju svemirom, a ne bogovi. Kennedy vjeruje da Platon nije koristio kodove radi zabave, već zbog vlastite sigurnosti. Naime, neki od njegovih učitelja smaknuti su zbog hereze. Tajnovitost je bila normalna u antička vremena, posebice za ezoterično i religijsko znanje, no u slučaju Platona, to je bilo pitanje života i smrti. Platon je vodio dramatičan život. Napisao je najmanje 30 knjiga te osnova prvo svjetsko sveučilište, koje je nazvao Akademija. Dopustio je ženama da studiraju na Akademiji, što je bilo suprotno tradiciji vremena, te je bio zastupnik slobodnog odabira supružnika nasuprot tradiciji dogovorenih brakova, a zalagao se i za prava homoseksualaca. ˝Ovo je početak nečeg velikog. Trebat će proći generacije kako bi potpuno otkrili posljedice i utjecaj tih poruka. Svih 2000 stranica sadrže neotkrivene simbole˝, zaključio je dr. Kennedy.
