Energy Event: [Fourth Slide]:
“This complex of his action and the reaction, I call an event. This is a picture of an event and it has also a vertical component coming out towards us. I see that the event could look like this. It could look something like a triangle, and so forth. Now then, let me take an event which seems to be in three parts, but which also has a vertical component and can also look like a tripod of a camera-- and the tripod legs want to spread outwardly. Then I have another event where the thing comes around on itself, like this, and it contains it so here we have the tripod in one and the other event. I have two events coming together and one of them comes back around to itself and prevents the legs of the tripod from going outwardly. It is like three strings between the three feet of the tripod and they won’t let it go any further because our friend tetrahedron begins to show up so suddenly we have a stable structure. Remember yesterday I also showed you a picture with three things falling towards each other and the legs were sliding out and then we finally contained them. Now we are coming back here to where we have two events which can develop a stability.”
