The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

or a common set of knowledge that came from it, but I've not debated somebody about this.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

I don't know that you... I mean, you can't really question the numbers, but there's some incredible...

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

just, I guess, coincidences that are in this whole system that do point towards like, I mean, they get really crazy.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

So here's another one, which I just, this one just pickles my noodle.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

It's so, you know, we know that I've said this before.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

I think that the sun is, you know, the moon's 400 times smaller than the sun and it's the sun's 400 times further away.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

So you get this, that's how we get total solar eclipses.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

That's really nice.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

There's also another sacred number encoded in their ratios relative to their diameters in the distance from Earth that's the same between the moon and the sun, and that's 108.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

So if you take the diameter of the moon at whatever it is, 2160 miles...

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

By the way, 2160 is also the length of a great month in the processional cycle.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

That's 1 12th of 25,920.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

But 2160 miles times 108, that gives you the more or less the distance between of the moon to the earth.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

So moon's, uh, yeah, so, so it's a, the moon's diameter times 108 gives you the distance to the earth, the sun's diameter, um,

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

which is 86,400 miles, which is the number of seconds in a 24-hour period, times that by 108, and you get that's the distance of the sun from the Earth.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

So it's like that relationship between their diameter and their distance from the Earth is exactly the same between the sun and the moon, and it's 108.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

So it's the lunar diameter over lunar distance equals solar diameter over solar distance.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

And, I mean... What a coincidence.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2417 - Ben van Kerkwyk

Yeah, and it's 108.
