93. "Reality is the simplest 3d shape whose sides are the same."
It seems your Grand Discovery of the Day is rooted in your boundless enthusiasm for your "discovery" that the simplest way to define a 3-d space is through a fourth point not lying on the plane defined by three other points. This is known to anyone who has taken a geometry class that covers 3-d space.

Your previous Grand Discovery of the Day was that a-b=0, if a=b. That is known to anyone who understands the concept of "zero," which is admittedly a difficult concept, the discovery of which was the greatest advance in the history of mathematics (but which you are sadly a bit late to take the credit for).

I'm serious now, Kelly. You're exhibiting a classic symptom of people in mania: you're grabbing onto elementary concepts and treating them as if they have deep significance and that you have made an important discovery in finding that significance. People can spend their whole lives obsessing over their illusory greatness. It can ruin people. It's fine if you want to submit your 'discoveries' to a peer-reviewed journal, but you should go to a doctor, too. Heck, maybe he'll think you've got some fine ideas. But do see a doctor.
