#Odin

The inscription ‘He is Odin’s man’ is seen in a round half circle over the head of a figure on a golden bracteate unearthed in Vindelev, #Denmark in late #2020. Scientists have identified the oldest-known reference to the Norse god Odin on a #gold #disc unearthed in western Denmark. Credit: Arnold Mikkelsen, The National Museum of Denmark via AP
Scandinavian scientists said Wednesday that they have identified the oldest-known inscription referencing the Norse god Odin on part of a gold disc unearthed in western Denmark in 2020.

After a hiatus of over two weeks, I have a new #bike. When I took the last one in for a service, the replacement of worn out components would have been nearly as high as the cost of a new one. So I took the decision to retire it and to get a new one. Instead of #black, this time I've gone for #red which and this one has #disc, rather than #rim #brakes. I spent this morning transferring a few things over from the old one like the #BikeComputer and bottle and pump holders.

In the meantime, I was determined not to use my car for commuting the relatively short distance to work. When I say relatively a short distance I mean by #bicycle, it's 5 km and so on foot, that about a 50 minute walk each way. I could have chosen a bus but it would mean either changing buses to get to my place of work or getting off at a stop quite far away which would still require a 15-20 minute walk. I reckoned it would add up to about the same time.

Announcing a new #Egyptian #speaker from the #Bases #project.

Sayed is a former #inspector of #Antiquities in #Egypt, former head of Archaeological Documentation Department in #Luxor.

He has seen clear secrets, misnamed as "errors" in Egyptian art and sculpture. A clear message that explains how the #solar #disc turned. But the earth had!

Sayed is due to speak at a future BASES2023, and plans to present his works in public speaking engagements

To construct a #ParallelLine to a given line (in blue) in 2D #EuclideanSpace, all you need to do is pick two #points and draw #circles centred at those points of a specified #radius. Draw a #perpendicular to the line at each point (in red) and then draw a new line passing through the intersection of the perpendicular with the circles and there is the line parallel to the original one. Here is the process shown in #Geogebra.

Parallel lines in Euclidean space

Using this #software, you can also explore #non-Euclidean space and here is the same action in #HyperbolicSpace (here in a #PoincaréDisc). #StraightLines are replaced by #GeodesicLines which look like #CircularArcs which intersect the #disc at #RightAngles. Circles are transformed to circles but their hyperbolic centres are not at the centre of their Euclidean centres. The boundary is analogous to infinity.

Repeating the construction for Euclidean space, you can see that the parallel lines diverge.
