They used to meet in secret to discuss mathematical discoveries, symbolized by the pentagram. Pythagoras revealed that the shorter lines of the pentagram equal the third, showcasing the golden section. The pentagram also contains a golden rectangle, admired by the Greeks for its proportions, which can replicate itself indefinitely. This shape leads to a magic spiral that embodies the golden section's proportions. The golden rectangle influenced beauty in architecture, seen in structures like the Parthenon and Notre Dame. Renaissance artists understood this secret well. Each mathematical discovery opens new doors to knowledge, with the key being mathematics. The future holds boundless treasures of science, waiting to be unlocked by curious minds.
Speaker 0: They used to meet in secret to discuss their mathematical discoveries. Only members were allowed to attend. They had a secret emblem, the pentagram. Let's see what the topic is for today.
Speaker 1: It was our old friend, Pythagoras, who discovered that the pentagram was full of mathematic. The 2 shorter lines combined exactly equal the 3rd. And this line shows the magic proportions of the famous golden section. The second and third lines exactly equal the 4th. Once again, we have the golden section.
But this is only the beginning. Hidden within the pentagram is a secret for creating a golden rectangle, which the Greeks admired it for its beautiful proportions and magic qualities. The star contains the golden rectangle many times over. It's a most remarkable shape. It can mathematically reproduce itself indefinitely.
All these rectangles have exactly the same proportions. This figure also contains a magic spiral that repeats the proportions of the golden section into infinity. To the Greeks, the golden rectangle represented a mathematical law of beauty. We find it in their classical The Parthenon, perhaps one of the most famous of early Greek buildings, contains many golden rectangles. These same golden proportions are also found in their sculpture.
In the centuries that followed, the golden rectangle dominated the idea of beauty and architecture throughout the Western world. The Cathedral of Notre Dame is an outstanding example. The Renaissance painters knew this secret well. Think of a pentagram, Donald. Now put another inside, a third, and a fourth.
No pencil is sharp enough to draw as fine as you can think, and no paper large enough to hold your imagination. In fact, it is only in the mind that we can conceive infinity. Mathematical thinking has opened the doors to the exciting adventures of science.
Speaker 0: Copy. Door. Door. I'm gonna switch to many doors before.
Speaker 1: Each discovery leads to many others, an endless chain.
Speaker 0: What's the matter of this charge? This charge will open. They're locked.
Speaker 1: Of course, they are locked. These are the doors of the future, and the key is
Speaker 0: Math models.
Speaker 1: Right. Mathematics. The boundless treasures of science are locked behind those doors. In time, they will be opened by the curious and inquiring minds of future generations.
China may have six more illegal police stations in the U.S. as tensions rise, particularly regarding Taiwan. The Justice Department is targeting alleged Chinese agents for intimidating critics and operating a secret police station in New York City. This station, located in Chinatown, was used to track and harass dissidents. U.S. Attorney Breon Peace stated that officers from China's Ministry of Public Security (MPS) violated American sovereignty. Two New York residents have been charged as agents of the Chinese government, along with 34 MPS officers involved in an online troll farm to threaten dissidents and spread propaganda. Investigators found similar operations in over 50 countries. If convicted, the suspects could face up to 20 years in prison. U.S. officials regard China as a significant national security threat, with the FBI opening two counterintelligence cases related to China every 12 hours.
Speaker 0: China reportedly may have as many as 6 more illegal police stations operating across the country in the name of China in the United States. It all comes as leaked documents reveal the Chinese military could soon deploy a supersonic spy drone unit to get an edge as tensions grow with Taiwan.
Speaker 1: Tonight, the Justice Department is cracking down on alleged Chinese agents right here in the United States. They're accused of intimidating critics of China's government, even setting up a secret police station in New York City. As CBS's Jeff Begay's reports, that's only one of the alleged schemes to harass dissidents.
Speaker 2: The secret police station took up an entire floor of this Chinatown building in New York City. According to investigators, it was run by the Chinese government to track and even harass dissidents living here in the US.
Speaker 3: The defendant's actions under the direction of the Chinese government are flagrant violations of American sovereignty.
Speaker 2: Breon Peace, the US attorney for the Eastern District of New York, says officers from China's Ministry of Public Security or MPS were operating illegally.
Speaker 3: The MPS subjected Chinese dissidents living here in the United States to the authoritarian rule of the PRC. That is unacceptable.
Speaker 2: 2 men, both New York City residents, have been charged with conspiring to act as agents of China's government. 34 MPS officers have also been charged with operating an online troll farm to threaten Chinese dissidents in the US and to spread propaganda to sow divisions in the country. What investigators uncovered is part of a pattern across the world.
Speaker 4: We found these stations in over 50 countries where people are being pressured, where people are being threatened, where people are being harassed and intimidated.
Speaker 2: In this case, the suspects face up to 20 years behind bars if they're convicted. US officials tell us that China poses the most serious threat to US national security. The FBI director says the bureau opens roughly 2 China related counterintelligence cases every 12 hours.
