Art Bell is joined by crop circle researcher Dr. Simeon Hein and Scott Flansburg, known as the human calculator, for a discussion merging sacred geometry with mathematical genius. Flansburg commissioned Hein's Institute for Resonance to create a man-made crop circle in England based on his base-nine math matrix, a grid of digits from zero through 99 that he believes reveals hidden patterns in numbers.
The results proved startling. Digital cameras froze when flown over the formation at altitude. Electrostatic readings inside the circle jumped to ten times normal levels, and a video camera overheated until too hot to touch. Hein explains that these anomalous effects, identical to those found in supposedly authentic crop circles, appeared roughly two days after creation. He theorizes that the layered wheat acts as a natural superconductor.
Flansburg demonstrates his extraordinary abilities live on air, adding three-digit numbers instantly and counting by 42s faster than a calculator. He argues that humanity has been approaching numbers incorrectly by starting at one instead of zero, and that his matrix represents a new foundation for arithmetic education. The program also features Art and his wife Airyn discussing the Filipino legend of the Aswang.
