Editorial Stonehenge and the heart: similar construction

took 1800 years to build. Its form captures the imagination and interest of the world. The harmony of its construction transcended over 50 generations, suggesting an underlying building principle that was passed over many generations. Our fascination with its configuration may be linked to the harmonious integration of its parts. The Sarsen Circle (Fig. 1) comprises the outer walls that contain the inner markers of the Bluestone Trilithon Horseshoe whose arms are pointed toward the distant Heel Stone. Vision of the disc of sunrise at the first day of summer (Fig. 2) is possible by focus past the open part of the Horseshoe, toward a point beyond the has a helical form that tapers to a vortex at the conical apex, and efficiently functions within a wrapped basal support. Stonehenge selects the sun as the pivotal point, and contains an inner framework with a reproducible central site for visualization of the sun’s guiding light that becomes evident at specific time frames during the yearly sequential motion of the cosmos. The central theme is that Nature embodies amathematical patternofcomponents thatbalances the interweaving integral parts. Simplicity is the centerpiece, and my search and appreciation for this concept is guided by the inquisitive actions of Da Vinci, Einstein, and other scientists who linked mathematics and nature.
