One of the interesting aspects of the pyramids is their relation to the speed of light. Some people claim that the location of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which is the largest and oldest of the three, is somehow aligned with the speed of light in a vacuum.
This is because the latitude of the pyramid in decimal degrees is 29.9792458 N, which is very close to the value of the speed of light in meters per second, which is 299,792,458 m/s. However, this is most likely a coincidence and not a deliberate design by the ancient Egyptians.

Bravo @DTWillingham!

Elon Musk was once asked: "How do you learn so fast?"
He replied: "I think most people can learn a lot more than they think they can. It's important to view knowledge as a semantic tree. Make sure you understand the fundamental principles before you get into the details."

Out of curiosity, I acquired some ascii hash strings called “Bitcoin, Ethereum & Doge”. That’s it.
As I’ve said before, don’t bet the farm on crypto! True value is building products & providing services to your fellow human beings, not money in any form.
