1. What if I told you I know exactly how this stone pattern was made—and why? 🧵
This is a detail from the roof of the Hathor Temple in Dendera. That roof practically screams it was made using cast artificial limestone. And this elegant pattern?
Let me walk you through it step by step, and you’ll see the "why".
How can I be so self confident? Ughh!
Well, I usually do what I preach. At the end of this thread I’ll show you how I cast a similar pattern in my own backyard from some non-existent, impossible artificial limestone slurry.
Let’s dive in!
Thomas Campbell worked for NASA as part of the Ares I program, which was a project aimed at developing a rocket to replace the Space Shuttle and send astronauts to space, including missions to the Moon and Mars. His role focused on risk assessment and solving technical problems to ensure mission and crew safety.
Specifically, he worked on identifying and addressing vulnerabilities — basically figuring out what could go wrong and finding ways to prevent failures. His job was to improve the chances of success for both the rocket and the astronauts on board.
Before that, he had had a long career in defense technology. He had been working as a systems analyst for U.S. Army technical intelligence for 10 years, then spent 30 more years working on missile defense systems as a contractor for the Department of Defense.
So while he's now known for his work on consciousness and simulation theory, his background is rooted in physics and high-stakes engineering — particularly making sure complex systems (like rockets) don’t fail under extreme conditions.
