The toroid

Fascinating shape.
Many believe to be the shape of energy in its most basic form.
The atom, our aura, earth's energy field, even the universe.
And most things in-between.
Crop circles even depict 2d renderings of the toroid.
Some of you electrical folks have heard of the toroidal transformer.

Is this a Dan Brown sort of thing? Toroid -> shape of energy -> universal truth

Or, to translate to Homer Simpson: Donut = Self Actualization

toroidal type waves are no joke.

Mmm donuts!!
Full of energy.

A solar system rotates around a black hole.
Some believe the black hole is the innie of the toroid.
We are on the approach.
The white hole is the other side.

I like the toroidal props

Did he really say that?
He was probably right, again.

Now you're just saying random things and attributing it to "some people". A safe way not get blamed for saying random things yourself.

"I didn't say that random thing, 'some people' said it, I just reported it!"

The Big Bang is the singularity point of the toroid.
This Pic doesn't show the bottom cone, the inlet.
Fascinating!!

Taken another step, in a million years we will be farther away from the singularity point, but another planet will be roughly where we are now.
Geological and possibly evolutionary.
What if we traveled to that starter planet and helped it evolve?
Maybe even in our image?
Oh my.

Anybody familiar with the Galapagos islands?
They formed on a conveyor belt of volcanoes.
Older islands are much more evolved than the younger islands.
Some developed life forms traveled to the newer under evolved islands and helped steer the evolution.

So theoretically, a wormhole cuts through the meat of the donut, instead of traveling on the surface.
Once the physicists figure out the push/pull calculation, if they haven't already.
Just like lightning being grounded.
It short circuited the toroid.
But a wormhole you pop back out on the surface somewhere else.

Come on guys.
Anybody else getting this?
Too advanced?
Any engineers here?

Fascinating!!

Our universe rotates around a black hole.
Our universe is a toroid.
Fascinating.

Cool stuff from my favorite content provider.

Wow, this is deep.
The toroid.starring in quantum science?

I just can't take anything that I find on FB seriously. I know that there is some serious, factual, scientific stuff on FB, but my first reaction to everything from FB is "this is not accurate, not true, not real."

Probably, at some point another Einstein-like genius will come along with a new theory and once again completely revise our ‘understanding’ of the universe.

Meanwhile, I think I’ll have another donut.

So a simple-ish thought experiment...
Throw a magical pump into a pool of water.
The pump will discharge out one end creating a high pressure zone.
It will intake from the other end creating a low pressure zone.
Since nature wants equilibrium, high pressure will flow towards the low pressure zone.
This motion will create a toroid.
A toroid is the most efficient flow of energy.

Physics, quantum mechanics, string theory, etc are not invalid because of their source of information.

Lots more to this but I don't think PP has the right audience for this topic(s).
Fascinating stuff, especially how it all ties together.
I've tried, but have failed, miserably.
Was it the topics or the delivery?
