My name is Q. I am an imaginary interviewer and a very close friend of Vas.
I hope this impromptu interview will
give you an insight into the journey of his life. I promise that
our friendship will not stand in the way of a tough and unbiased
interview.
Q: Thanks you
for taking the time participate in this what I hope will be truthful interview.
Vas: I am rather busy so proceed. Please keep your questions brief
and to the point. It is unnecessary to say truthful as you know me
well enough to know that I do not lie. If I said I lied would you
believe me?
Q: I will not even attempt to get side tracked with that
question. I was hoping I would ask the questions.
Vas: Ask what ever your heart desires that is if you have
one.
Q:
Did you really own the very successful Athenian Room in Chicago?
Vas:
When living in Chicago I started this restaurant which was successful from
the very first day. At that time
the neighborhood was populated by hippies and those searching for the meaning of
life, which made the clientele very
interesting.
It was hard work but I was young and had a lot of energy.
Q:
Many people wonder how you got to live in Tarpon Springs, Florida.
Vas: Well Q, I
sold the Athenian Room Restaurant and purchased the Juliet, a 27 foot wooden
sloop and headed down the Chicago River and into the Mississippi and perhaps a trip around the world. I
slowly realized that the boat was inadequate for such a journey. I lived in New
Orleans until the boat was sold. I returned to Chicago and purchased a 32 foot
steel sailboat. I repeated the trip and this time I ended up in Tarpon Springs,
Florida. I get sea sick so going around the world did not seem practical, so I
abandoned the idea.
Q: Is this the whole story or are you hiding something?
Vas: What are you trying to say?
Q: Never mind, why did you leave Chicago
Vas: It’s is really none of your business.
Q: Well I was just asking for the sake of the readers. Was it a
girl?
Vas: Did you not hear me?
Q: I think I know!
Vas: Then keep it to yourself. Next question
Q: How did you end up
writing a book?
Vas: I assume you mean
The
Smile Method - How to Avoid Gum Surgery and Dentures.
I was
not supposed to be a writer till next life time. So writing it in this lifetime
was a surprise to me. I must admit that I enjoyed doing the research
but found the writing very difficult.
It would have been easier in my next lifetime.
Q: Ok! I was informed that you
tried to solve one the impossible geometric problems.
Vas: At a
very young age I tried to
square the circle. I attempted to square
the circle using what I found later was called algebra. Shortly
thereafter I found out that the solution to squaring the circle was
limited to using only a straight edge and a compass. Oh well! The
Greeks have a name for this tortuous and silly obsession
"tetragonidzein."
Later I became
more aware of what Archimedes called the three impossible problems.
One was to trisect an angle. I tried solving this ancient problem
with a compass a straight edge and a little knowledge of geometry.
At one point I thought I had solved this problem which had eluded
many great minds.
With a great
feeling of accomplishment I gave my trisection solution to my high
school architecture teacher Mr. Jarvis. He was amazed at what seemed
to him to be a solution. After several days he called me to his desk
and showed me the flows of my solution. He mentioned that he
convened a meeting of some science teachers and showed them my
trisection solution. He increased the angle to
make the error more pronounced and visible. Oh well! That ended that
obsession!
Q: What happens when we die?
Vas: We live in a Pythagorean mathematical soup.
We live in this soup in one form or another and this is where we remain.
I
believe that there is no delete mechanism in the scheme of things. We are not
asked to consent to exist nor to desist.
Q: Do
you believe in reincarnation.
Vas:
That we exist at all is the “difficult” part or the oddity we call reality.
Reincarnation is a mere triviality in the list of things that are possible. I
believe "if something happens once it can happen again". Loops and
spirals are all over reality. But saying all this, I do not believe in
re-incarnation. What I believe is that though this phenomena is possible it is
unlikely.
Q:
So what do you believe happens when one dies?
Vas: I
suspect death is not terminal. But if it is, that’s ok.
The link that connects the physical body to our higher self is broken upon
death.
The link is similar but to the links we use in this website but
obviously more advanced.
The higher self does not die. The link is broken or disabled and perhaps
connected elsewhere.
Q: Are
you afraid of death?
Vas:
No, I am not at all afraid of death. The process of dying, now that’s another matter.
When young I would dream that I would die a hero in the arms of a beautiful
woman with a smile on my face. Now more a realist devoid of fantasy
I just hope that my process of dying will not be a painful one. It
would be nice to die in my sleep.
Q: Do you believe that there will be
time travel?
Vas: Yes. We will be able to view the past
but will not be able to change it. We will be mere spectators to the past. Perhaps history
will have to be re-written as we observe the past, witnessing every little detail.
This could also mean that the future is observing us. Worst yet the
future is
watching me! I better be good! Maybe all of us better be careful
what we say and do. As for travel into the future, it will be a one way trip, one will be able to
travel to the future but will not be able to return to the present.
Q: Some
one once questioned your appreciation of art.
Vas: As Kojak, the lollipop-sucking lieutenant and one of TV’s greatest crime fighters
once remarked, “I love art, good art even bad art.” I feel the same way. I
love all art but love good art a lot more than mediocre art!
Unfortunately today people say some things are art which in my opinion are not or
are non-art. Artists today often hang their experiments for sale for
big bucks. Thought there are many fine artists today much of the art shown at art
museums and galleries is chosen for their creative qualities often completely ignoring
esthetics. Very sad!
Q: Please tell me about the
two times that you sailed down the Mississippi River.
"Juliet" on the Mississippi River
Vas: Actually
I did not sail, I motored down the great Mississippi River. The first time with
"Juliet" (see above) all he way down to New Orleans. The second time I traveled
with "Aethra" (see below) to New Orleans and then to Tarpon Springs, Florida. I
do not want to go into details as your allotted time will run out.
Q: I hadn't realized I
had a time limit! I am always the last one to find out about these things.
Darn
it! Why did you
name your website ArtMusicDance.com? You consider yourself an artist ad a
musician but you do not dance!
Vas: "Dance" is for the dance of life which is obviously the most
important phenomena to each of us.
Q: Do you believe in
God?
Vas: Early on I did as a matter of being taught to have faith to believe. Later
when looking for the evidence and not finding it I became an
atheist. To me important issues require proof. During the many years of working on the Document A, as I
uncovered more evidence I slow
began to believe. I should add that this God is the Pythagorean God and
not any of the Gods of the various religions. Probably very powerful
but not infinitely powerful. God to us is the first Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.
Q:
Are we living in a virtual reality of a higher order?
Vas: Q, you certainly ask tough questions.
Q:
I know you do not like small talk.
Vas: Well, you are right about that. We live in a computer-like
software. Nothing is solid, everything is virtual including time,
space, sentience and God.
Q: What is the
origin of Document A?
Vas: It was in 1964
when I was 18, by the way 18 is the only number that is twice the
sum of its digits,
I noticed the 3, 4 and 5, the 3_4_5 skip sequence in pi. This sequence
represents the smallest whole numbers in the Pythagorean triangle. I
thought it to be odd. I examined this and other criteria about pi in
an attempt to understand it. I devoted time on it intermittently
during the following decades not knowing where it was to lead me.
Q:
Is Document A complete? What is beyond
G and 9 grid marks? What are you
hiding?
Vas: Document A is
complete and I am not hiding anything. There is nothing beyond G an
9 at least for the time being. Yes it is possible that other
constants may have similar characteristics as the three that I
examined in Document A.
Q: Is there a
Document B?
Vas: No, not to my knowledge. Document B will however emerge. We may have to go to
Document Omega to get the full understanding of our existence. I want to make it perfectly clear, I
do not have a Document B.
Q:
Will Document B be an image?
Vas: If it is a graphic it will be a calibration image to help us easily view subsequent images. The calibration image will be a Greek
cross or a square or a circle. Once the calibration image has been found
the images thereafter will be astonishing.
Q:
Have you made any progress on Document B?
Vas: I
do not have Document B nor any part of it nor am I hiding any image
that is derived from Document Alpha.
Q:
Why is the scientific investigation of the existence and nature of God
so important?
Vas: It is
important to find the truth backed by scientific evidence regardless of what is
being investigated.
Q:
Will someone find the
31 equation that produces prime numbers?
Vas: Yes, 31 has been overlooked as an important contributor
to producing prime numbers. Someone will discover that 31 is equal
to 41 and 59 in the ability to produce prime numbers. When this
discovery is made it will make Document Alpha universally accepted by the scientific community.
[Someone did
discover the 31 prime number producer however it accomplished little
if at all to sway the critics]
Q: Are you afraid of any religious reaction?
Vas: I believe the remarks from religious
people will be negative. After all I am proving the existence of the
Pythagorean God, not any of the religions Gods. I am concerned about
the reaction of the unpredictable religious fanatics however this
concern is overshadowed by my desire to show to the world Document A
and show that the Pythagorean God, the Master Mathematician exists.
     
Q: What do you mean that we are being recorded?
Vas: I have the suspicion, or should if say
a
speculation that everything we do is being recorded. Not sure why. I
believe gravity has the potential to accurately record all events,
even our thoughts. Gravity using a computer analogy is the hard
drive of the universe. I may add that maybe we are not being recorded but are on a
playback mode. Deja vu any one?
Q:
If evolution is true then how did it come to be?
Vas: If we and all the
living plants and animals were perfect,
evolution would not be required nor would it be a reality. Evolution
is not the tool for perfection but a neutral phenomenon that can
help the species
survive and due to some of its limitations can make them extinct. Unfortunately
evolution is very hard on the weak.
Q: Free
will, do
we have it?
Vas: If we have free will
then God is not omnipotent. If He cannot force us to think a certain
way then He is not omnipotent thought He will have great means at
His disposal do convince us to do as He pleases. If evolution rules, why would
we have free will? What survival benefit does free will have? Survival and perpetuation of the human race would
be better served if we did not have free will. How does a species
acquire free will? What are the mechanics of free will? Not having
free will is probably the default state
of living entities.
Free will is the ability
to choose among the options at hand. Did I just say this because I
have free will or is it due do some script? We feel
that we have free will and this feeling is so strong that it is
difficult to deny that we have free will. This strong feeling of
free will is however not proof that we have free will.
Ok. This is the end. I
believe that my
free will tells me I gotta get back to work.
Q: Vas, thanks for
giving me the rare opportunity to show the world the real you.
