An extraordinary crop circle based on the 'world's most beautiful maths theorem' has appeared in a field next to a windmill in Wiltshire.

The complex disc, which measures 300ft across, appeared to the east of Wilton Windmill near Marlborough in a blazing yellow rape seed field.

It appeared on Saturday just 25miles from another circle that popped up a fortnight ago by the Iron Age hill fort of Old Sarum.'



Lucy Pringle, a renowned crop circle researcher was puzzled by what appears to be a hidden code based on complex numbers within the shape.

She said: 'I believe it contains binary, a numeral system, or base-2 number system that represents numeric values using two symbols, 0 and 1.

'Working from the centre outwards, people are suggesting it has a connection to Leonhard Euler's theorem e^(i)pi+1=0 which is thought to be one of the most beautiful theorems in mathematics.'

She added that it could even contain a hidden tune.

'Historically over the years, crop circles have been associated with diatonic scales (white notes on the piano),' she said.

'These diatonic scale frequencies are encoded in each segment of the crop circle and can be played on the piano.

'This is a unique formation incorporating both music and mathematics and is similar in importance to the famous 2008 Barbury Castle Pi event.'

It's beautiful!

You have to love this;

Bower's wife had become suspicious of him, noticing high mileage in their car. Eventually, fearing that his wife suspected him of adultery, Bower confessed to her, and subsequently, he and Chorley informed a British national newspaper.

Worse excuses in the world number 5734...

"Honest love, I'm just going out making crop circles"

LOL!

My favorite crop circle theory was that they were made by rutting hedgehogs who spun about in a mating frenzy ...I not making that up!

I love them. The more complex the better.

I am amazed that they are able to produce such perfect formations from on the ground, apparently unnoticed by anyone passing.

I live right in the middle of the area where those crop circles are, plus loads of other smaller ones which don't get the wider media atention. I bet Robbie Williams is going to be miffed he's decided to sell up just as circle season starts again Theres a field I drive past on my way to work which usually has 2 or 3 circles appear per year fully visible from the road as the fields are on a slope if there are any there tomorrow I'll try and remember my camera and take some piccies.

We even have our own crop circle study group as we have so many circles appearing every year - http://www.wccsg.com/AboutWCCSG/tabid/4 ... fault.aspx

These were the ones close to me last year:

Wow. There are some stunning examples there.

Those are beautiful!
