Maybe what we're looking for isn't 'Meridian Cross', but crossing the Meridian?

Greenwich isn't that far from London, after all, and there's heaps of astronomy related stuff that has to do with the Prime Meridian there, and the old Royal Observatory, and Haley & his comet and such.

I might be reaching, though.

I might be stating the obvious, but the new website looks and sounds much more like a movie ad than the receda approach which looked like music - I am guessing that these are for different things rather than the same one.

Does this mean that someone has bought the movie rights for PPC and mind candy are letting us know? This might mean that Meridian Cross are the PPC movie studio.

My personal opinion is that we are taking this the wrong way.

The messages we are receiving (poster/movie ad) aren't adverts for a PPC band or a movie tie in, they are simply imbedded messages for us. Think about it, if someone was trying to get a message across to the Earth based Cube Hunters without getting unwanted attention you have to disguise it in some way.

This is purely spec and not the best constructed argument but I think that the 3P group are also the RECEDA. The original founders of the cube, hence the Receda Cube, they are the group who stole the cube. I feel like the poster was telling us that the RECEDA are APPROACHING, and that they are coming to earth.

As far as the diagram we got from the Salk logs and the poster, I think xnbomb was correct in his assumptions;



The diagram shown to us by Salk and the poster is showing us that it is possible to travel from Perplex City to Earth. All the keywords about stars etc could have been leading us to research this area and come up with what xnbomb found.

The Salk log diagram also showed us that at least four people are needed, leading me to assume that four people from the 3P or Receda have travelled to Earth from PPC.

I really doubt that we will ever see a band called the Receda Approach, the poster and movie ad are simply means to pass on a message to us via an Earth based medium. Telling us that the Receda are coming and that our world, and theirs, are going to know about it soon.

Oh and also, on a sidenote, the diagram is made of three squares; a possibly diagram of three klebold plates Confused ?

Anyway rant over Smile, I do feel that people from the 3P are coming to earth though and that we will have to track them down in the future. Everyone needs a bit of character interaction Wink

May have already been noted (and may not be relevent) but the black of the poster background shows the following image when the levels are tweaked.

The movie trailer link is now available - which points to http://www.therecedasign.com/trailer.html which in turn contains http://www.therecedasign.com/trailer.mov

Mostly a series of images and references to the 'film' and the cube, including these pictures:

Something about this, the bottom left image is kinda tristate (blank, solar panel, solar panel with minus).... The relationship of each one to each image (in order they appear) is:

Perpetual Motion : 0 : 4,1
Solar Panel : 2 : 1,5
Dollar : 2 : 5,4
Dam: 0 : 1,2
Chimneys : 1 : 5,2
Power Button : 1 : 4,3
Microscope : 1 : 3,4
Pylon? : 1 : 3,1
Westminster : 0 : 2,3
Small Pylton : 1 : 4,2
Radio Telescope? : 1 : 4,4
Satellite? : 0 : 2,5
Tall Ship : 1 : 4,5
Gearbox : 2 : 2,4
Shuttle? : 2 : 2,1
Power Station : 1 : 2,1
Lightning : 0 : 1,3
More Pylons : 2 : 3,3
Capitol Hill : 2 : 1,1
Lightbulb/Filament : 1 : 5,1
Lots of Pylons : 1 : 3,5
Wind Farm : 0 : 2,2
Radio Telescope : 0 : 5,5
Batteries : 1 : 3,2
Magnifying Glass : 1 : 1,4

For those of us that can't install qt at work - can we make out what the magnifying glass is actually magnifying?

The cube in the trailer...

Redacted means deleted/edited or can just mean summarised (still looks like part of an internet address to me Laughing)

Anyone else notice the rectangular white box that appears and disappears a couple times on the solar panel in the lower left hand corner? Might not mean anything, I just thought it was kind of interesting.

EDIT: Nevermind, I now realize thats what SteveC was talking about. Definitely on the slow side today...

Seems to me they all have one of two common themes.

Power (in various forms: political, financial, chemical)
or
Magnification (physical magnification)

magnification... searching
power... third power
the third pick to appear is the money btw

ALSO, i dont think its coincidence about the sentinel quotes.

The last website featured heavily on the star references and and the band gave a stellar performance, this website features heavily on power/force and the film gives a forceful performance, the quotes have exactly the same construction, they only differs in the words forceful and stellar.
