Experiment #3: It's nasty...oh, it's really nasty!

My name is Craig Morrin. I have been building meditation pyramids for over two decades now, and have decided to embark upon the crazy and most dubious quest to do something that has never been done, ever before: to prove through scientific experiments that pyramid energy actually exists. Subscribe and follow me every step of the way to find out whether I will rise to eternal pyramid glory...or fall flat on my face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In my last experiment, I had a mild success, with the yogurt sample inside the pyramid seeming to have a little bit less mold than the yogurt sample outside the pyramid. But it was small, and I decided that I wanted to try to eliminate any distortion in the magnetic field of the earth by switching it up again and placing the pyramid in an area with no discernable distortion whatsoever.

To this effect, I set up my Pyramid Platform on an old, wooden table that was doweled together without any screws or metal within it. The table itself is great because there is no metal in it, but it is old, and its surface isn't perfectly flat. So I leveled it as well as I could and then had to add a couple of shims under the Pyramid Platform to get it level. I also removed all metal items that were sitting below the table and to the left of the table so that there was no metal anywhere near it. You see, after my first disastrous experiment, I developed NMOCD (No Metal Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), and spent many hours meticulously setting up the area for my second experiment. Only to spend several more hours setting up a different area for this third experiment. But my obsessiveness paid off, as when I slowly slid the compass along all four sides of the Pyramid Platform this time, I detected no deflection of the needle whatsoever. Because the compass needle wasn't shifting at all, I decided to align the platform using that instead of by the Solar Alignment Method, as I had done in the past.

You might notice in the picture above that the pedestals where my samples will sit upon are different. It is my understanding that many, if not all, objects have their own shape energy to them, not just pyramids. Tipis and domes also are believed to carry their own unique energy, as well. So it made me wonder if it were possible that the cardboard tube cylinders that the samples were placed in might also have an influence on them. In the Mythbusters experiments, they simply used short blocks of 2x4s for their pedestals. Since the samples were sitting on top of them, they probably didn't have any such influence. I decided to use 2x2s instead of 2x4s, but the concept is still the same, and it is one more hidden variable that I removed that might have possibly confounded the results. I also made the 2x2 outside the pyramid one inch longer to account for the difference of the one-inch-thick Pyramid Platform that the 2x2 block is sitting upon inside the pyramid. Temperatures can vary significantly depending upon the height of the object, so it is very important they are at the same level. The 2x2 block inside the pyramid is 4.5 inches tall, which puts the sample one-third up from the base of the pyramid, same as before.

After the Pyramid Platform was leveled and aligned, I stuck masking tape on the table up against a couple of its corners and edges so that if it accidentally gets bumped, I will know.

And then the final thing I decided to change was the sample itself. No more happy-go-lucky, kind and beneficial bacteria. Oh, no. I will be working with those mean and nasty critters that love to hang out in ground beef. Actually, a lot of experimenters in the past have had great success working with raw meat, claiming that it tends to "mummify" and turn into jerky inside the pyramid, while it rots and putrefies outside of it.

One thing that is extremely important, though, in working with a small, tabletop pyramid like the one in my experiments, is to make sure I get the right sample size. If I were to place a pound of ground beef inside the pyramid, and one pound outside of it--no matter how well aligned the pyramid is and no matter how undistorted the field might be--both samples are probably going to rot. When it comes to pyramids at least, I do believe that size matters. They do not seem to need to have walled sides in order to be effective, but if you put something really large inside a small pyramid, you are probably not going to notice much. On the other hand, if the sample size is extremely small--like, say that I only use the size of a grain of rice for each sample of raw meat, there is a very good chance that both samples will--depending upon the temperature and humidity--simply dry out without any sign of rotting. So finding the "Goldilocks zone" for my sample size is important.

06-19-25: For my ground beef, I have decided to use a 7.5 cc cup as a measuring device, in addition to my scale that can weigh things down to 0.01 grams.

So each time I stuffed some meat into the cup, I would add or remove a little bit here and there to get it to weigh about 7 grams each, with the total weight, including the plastic spoon, being right around 10.5 grams. This allowed me to make eight samples that I put in 1-ounce plastic cups that were less than 0.1 grams different in weight. I then rolled each sample into a ball so they each had a similar surface area and therefore similar exposure to the air. After that, I sealed each with a lid, and put six of the samples inside my freezer for later experiments.

For the remaining two samples, I decided to do something I haven't done for quite a while in my experiments: I decided to have them exposed to the air. Pyramid energy is known for having a dehydrating effect on things, so it is most likely better if the samples are exposed to help preserve them. You might have noticed in some of my pictures the dirt walls in the background. This is an unfinished experimental home that I am building, where I am endeavoring to try to build a home with minimal resources taken from the environment, as well as minimal expense. The idea for this home is to dig down about 5 feet into the earth, plaster the walls with a cement-lime mixture, and simply build a roof overhead, reducing materials and cost for the walls themselves. So I am doing this for ecological reasons, as well as to try to discover ways to build homes less expensively, as I don't believe that it is right that someone should have to spend 30 years of their working life to finally be able to actually own their own home. This is perhaps a blog for another day, but the point is, that this experimental home is still under construction, and therefore, all sorts of critters are able to get inside of it--including ones that like to eat my pyramid samples. By sealing the samples with lids, it has helped to eliminate this problem, but I don't know that it has helped in the results of my experiments.

So for this experiment, I am going to try something different: I am going to punch four holes in each lid with a hole puncher to hopefully allow for the dehydration effect of pyramid energy to take place, while at the same time, to hopefully keep the critters from messing with them.

In the Mythbusters experiments, all of their experiments were completely open to the air, so this isn't the ideal setup in my opinion to take full advantage of the dehydrating effect that pyramid energy can supposedly produce. But I also think it is better than having lids with no holes at all. Another benefit to the holes is that they are hopefully big enough for flies to be able to crawl in and lay eggs on the meat. Yeauuk! But the reason this is a good thing in my opinion is because pyramids (at least set up properly) supposedly repel insects, which was clearly evident in the milk experiment done by the Mythbusters team, as there were hundreds of fat, plump, and happy maggots wriggling around in the milk outside their pyramid, but not a single living one in the milk inside it. So, come on over, you maggot-laying flies, and let's see what you can do!

And finally, as always, I randomized which sample went where by flipping a coin.

And after I finished setting up the pyramid experiment...I made some beef tacos with the rest of the meat.

06-24-25: The weather had been cool and wet over the last five days, with one of the largest hailstorms I had ever seen occurring on the summer solstice. Even so, the flies did come around and things were starting to stink. While it seemed like there were more of them on the sample outside the pyramid, I did see them on the one inside the pyramid, as well. The set up with the holes in the lid seemed to act like a fly trap, where I would see flies crawling around inside, looking like they couldn't figure out how to get out. It made me wonder if the restriction made them act in ways they would not normally do. In this picture of the pyramid sample five days into the experiment, you can see that eggs have been laid upon the side of the cup as opposed to the meat, where I would expect them to have been laid:

And here you can see the control sample, where I could see that eggs had been laid directly upon the meat (along with a dead fly on the bottom stuck to it--yuck!):

06-28-25: During the last few days of this 9-day experiment, the weather got warmer, and when I thought it had smelt bad before, oh, boy...did it really stink now! There were gobs of fat maggots squirming around in both samples. Here is a shot near the pyramid:

And here is a close-up of the sample outside the pyramid:

And if that hasn't made you want to yak, here is a close-up of them both side-by-side, with the pyramid sample on the left (note there were dead flies in the control sample, but not in the pyramid sample):

SSSSS-KA-REEEEECH!!! (Those are my fingernails scratching against the walls as I desperately try arrest my slow descent heading face first in a massive pile of rotting meat writhing with thousands of plump maggots.)

As my face hangs ominously just inches above the impending doom of everlasting rot, "WAIT!" My voice cracks two octaves higher: "I have some possible reasons as to what might have gone wrong!" (SKA-SKA-REECH!) With my face now only one inch away, "...or, at least things that could be done differently...maybe!?" KERRR...SPLUT!!!

I will be the first to tell you that I don't really know what I am doing. I don't claim to be an expert or a know-it-all. And because of this, I am able to learn from my mistakes and make adjustments. And I have been learning from every experiment I have conducted so far. A friend recently made the astute observation that I haven't formulated a clear hypothesis for my experiments. That is true, because I am still at the exploratory phase of my experimentation. If I were to make a hypothesis right now, it would go something like, "When a perishable item of the right size is placed in the center of a large enough pyramid of the right dimensions and oriented in the right direction, and in the right location without any other materials or objects interfering with its energy, then that item will have noticeably less decay than a similar perishable item placed outside that pyramid." The thing is, that is a wee-bit ambiguous, and scientists don't like hypotheses that are ambiguous or hard to disprove. Perhaps sometime in the future, after extensive experimentation, I might be able to actually create a hypothesis much more specific and more easily falsifiable by third parties. Maybe something like, "When a perishable item that weighs between 3 to 4 grams with a moisture content between 20-30% is placed in an open container one-third up from the base to its apex within a non-metallic pyramid frame structure that is at least 20" wide at its base and has a similar dimension as the Great Pyramid at Giza and is leveled accurately and oriented to within less than one degree of magnetic north with no metal objects or walls to within three feet of any side, then more than 80% of the time there will be significantly less decay in that perishable item than a similar perishable item placed outside the pyramid after a period of 7 or more days in a controlled environment between 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit and between 40-60% relative humidity." Maybe...someday I will be able to create a hypothesis like that which can be tested independently. But I might have a few more face-plants to go before I get there.

So, getting back to the rotting meat and the writhing maggots from this last experiment. First, I really didn't like that the holes in the lids acted like a fly trap. So...very...nasty. And also, I felt like that even though the holes did allow for ventilation, it simply wasn't enough to take full advantage of the dehydration effect that pyramid energy supposedly has. I have mentioned the Mythbusters experiments often because they had such incredible results. Because of this, when I am thinking of what could have gone wrong with my previous experiment, I will often think of theirs, and ask myself what they did right. As I mentioned earlier, one of the things that they did was to have their experiments completely open to the air. I haven't done this so far because critters in the past have messed with the experiments. But that was with things like milk and yogurt and apples. Most of the critters I have to deal with here are mice and squirrels, and I am thinking that maybe they won't want to mess with rotting meat.

So for my next experiment, I am going to take a chance and leave the meat fully exposed to the air. And so far, the results have been completely different. Stay tuned.
