Stonehenge - An introduction to the concept of the Heavens' Hinge   Description: Stonehenge - An introduction to the concept of the Heavens’ Hinge By Jonathan Morris CEng FIStructE FICE This introduction shows the mathematics and engineering behind the storyline of The Broken Stone and the secret of the Heavens’ Henge. The images in the following text were produced using a three dimensional computer model which was found to replicate the stones at Stonehenge as they may have been when first constructed. Stonehenge’s plan layout is shown to be the same as an idealised geocentric description of the Universe. Its inner stone monument is demonstrated to be capable of producing a spectacular public display of solar movement. The arrangement of this system is shown to be based on a simple method of tracking celestial objects. The contention of this paper is that Stonehenge was both a depository of knowledge about the Universe and a place of learning designed for popular interest.
