Back home! And with my Whiteboard as well. n.n

Okay, don't lose me in this explenation.

Since I was speaking with Radium last night, he dropped a few subtle hints that all fell together.

(Radium): Four pillars.
(Radium): Ellipse around a sphere.

basics of the puzzle.

(Radium): The number four relates to many things. Only one of those things has any relation to a sphere or ellipse.

Hint number one. This one had me had for a loop, untill this conversation took place.

Ezel Berbier: ...the golden ratio?
Ezel Berbier: a/b=a+b/a
(Radium): That has an ellipse in it?
(Radium): Cool, I never knew.
Ezel Berbier: It can be applied to an elipse
(Radium): I LERND MAF

It hit me with that last line. If he made a joke about math, it couldn't have been math related at all!

(Radium): I'll give you four yes or no questions regarding the puzzle.

Ezel Berbier: ...Well, to be honest, the only thing that it can be applied to is the four worlds, and the sphere can be the star the planet is revolving around and the elipse can be the planet's path revolving around the star.
Ezel Berbier: Is the above theory correct?
(Radium): Not really, if you want to get picky.

One question down.

Ezel Berbier: Are the four pillars in any way related to the four worlds we have encountered? (supermegatropolis, spinach custard, antifoo island, etc. etc.)
(Radium): No.

Another down, and perhaps this has been answered in the past too. I just wanted it straight from the horse's mouth.

Ezel Berbier: ...Is Pi involved?
(Radium): In reeeeeeeeeeaaaaalllly nitpicky scientific theory, yes. But for all we're concerned, not whatsoever and you're thinking way too hard.

Bingo. I just hit it there. This is concerning SCIENCE, not MATH. Therefore, I have created two conclusions.


The monolith represents a Hydrogen Atom or a Berillium atom. In my LJ I made a comment about the "Four winds" referring to Neutrons, Protons, Electrons, and Photons. Four pillars representing the four parts of the atom? The only flaw here is that Hydrogen has only two parts: A single Electron zipping around a Proton...no Neutrons, and Photons are only created when the Electron gets "excited" and gives off light.

(Radium): Once you figure the right idea out, it'll be fairly hard to prove correct, but you'll probably find it obvious.

Yes, I may have it here, or I'm thinking waaaaaaaaayyyyyy too much.
