| "Tomorrow Determines Today" Abednego Tregarthen Comment: |
fifty-one degrees This will be a curious detail. I will correct the author who mistook 57 for 51. Fifty-one degrees is the angle that a classical Egyptian pyramid's sides will rise from the horizon, and is the angle of a diagonal taken across a Golden Rectangle, or a rectangle in the proportion of the Golden Section, a proportion that will be known especially to Greek geometricians. Fifty-one degrees is also the angle of repose of sand, the angle that sand naturally assumes in a mound. |
