PLEASE READ THESE FACTS FIRST:

  • Random House sued ME; not the other way around.
  • Random House filed suit to silence the facts I was posting on the web.
  • There has been NO trial on the facts, only the Random House effort to prevent a trial.
  • NO expert testimony was allowed despite three international plagiarism experts who were willing to testif that it existed.
  • The only sworn statements made under penalty of perjury are affidavits from me and my experts, nothing from RH.
  • The judge refused to consider any expert analysis.
  • Despite suing me first, Random House & Sony UNsuccessfully demanded that I pay the $310,000 in legal fees they spent to sue me.
  • Contrary to the Random House spin, I am not alleging plagiarism of general issues, but of several hundred very specific ones.
  • This is not about money. Anything I win goes to charity.

Legal filings and the expert witness reports are HERE

I have a second blog, Writopia
which focuses on Dan Brown's pattern of falsehoods
and embellishment of his personal achievements.

Lew what this "divine dimension" thing in DVC 1.618?

Brown tries to show off his mastery of divine proportion through a conversation with a bunch of fictional undergraduates who come off as so stupidbthat they'd never get into the local JC, much less Hah-vahd.

The subject was much abler (and more interestingly) covered by Mario Livio in his book, The Golden Ratio: The Story of PHI, the World's Most Astonishing Number

Basically Brown's rendition is a dumbed-down version of why we see that ratio in nature all the time from the chambers in a nautilus shell, to sunflowers etc.

The Greeks also found that rectangles with this proportion are exceedingly pleasing to the eye ... Livio's book is a fun read.

Actually the number is 1.61803398874989...ad infinitum, this being an irrational number just like pi.
