Inspired by the idea that mythical phenomena can be explicated by science, the protagonist tries to amalgamate black magic with modern mathematics and both in his dreams and in reality achieves entering into the fourth dimension, surpassing the boundaries of time and space. This study examines the dreams and fantasies in Howard Phillips Lovecraft's (1890-1937) " The Dreams in the Witch House " (1933) in the context of science/myth opposition. Lovecraft’s paroxysm is a caveat here: “The Thing cannot be described-there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order.” Then what is it that we read, watch, and play, if not the Thing itself? Lovecraft is laughing.
NON EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRY HP LOVECRAFT CODE
Lovecraft, and through him, to John Carpenter, Ridley Scott, and video games? Is there a secret code hidden in the cypher of one of Sigmund Freud’s most elusive writings? Impossible to tell. ” Indeed, as if it wasn’t the most tantalizing question of them all, a taunting riddle presents itself: what is beyond the texts? What connects Herman Melville and Henry James to H. Nonetheless, oddly, they want to find out more-beyond the texts. His monsters crawl out of the most unexpected cracks of our culture, no marvel that Michel Houellebecq, an ardent reader of the Lovecraftian oeuvre himself, becomes mystified upon meeting Lovecraft’s fans: “They have not read his work and don’t even intend to do so.
Is it just the gory scenes? Only cheap thrills compared to something far more hideous, a dread unfathomable to the richest of imaginations? An answer seems to be lurking behind Lovecraft’s enigmatic smile. Weird it may be, it is not the rare occasion that horror geeks or slasher fans cannot help but ask themselves of the appeal in horror fiction. The picture on the cover is the only such one. The horror author infamously famous for his listless, gaunt, lantern-jawed face, H. Paradoxically, the closer present science comes to unifying the quantum and relativity, the closer it comes to realizing some of Clifford’s original concepts regarding the curvature of space. His “space-theory of matter” is considered no more than an “untenable” speculation that pre-dated Einstein’s later discovery. Clifford was a philosopher, mathematician and physicist who is well remembered in history for his purely mathematical accomplishments, but equally well forgotten for his greatest accomplishments in the physical application of his mathematical systems. But Clifford thought in grander terms and meant all types of motion while Einstein only used the concept of space-time curvature to explain gravitational motion. This was almost a century before Einstein developed the general theory of relativity which makes the same claim. As early as 1870, Clifford stated that matter was merely curved space and the motion of matter was no more than ripples or waves across that curvature. Instead he developed a new point-based geometry of biquaternions and twists to explain curved space and physical phenomena. Yet he was talking about the same thing, although he did not use the term quantum to describe the microscopic world of physics. His theory accounted for both electromagnetism and gravity more than a century before theories of everything (TOEs) became popular in science. This is the fascinating story of William Kingdon Clifford, a Cambridge mathematician and geometer who tried to develop a unified field theory based on a Riemannian geometry several decades before Einstein.
