It was founded circa 1958 – 1959 after the publication of its ( first ) holy book the Principia Discordia, written by Malaclypse the Younger and Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst after a series of shared hallucinations at a bowling alley.

It is specified on page 00034 of the Principia Discordia.

Elsewhere in the Principia Discordia, it is mentioned that the Curse of Greyface occurred in 1166 BC, so this is presumably the start-date of the calendar.

* Discordian texts and scriptures include Principia Discordia, Black Iron Prison, Zen Without Zen Masters, Liber Malorum, Book 5 ( The Zenarchist's Cookbook ), Zenarchy Unapologia, The Book of the Apocalypso, The Book of Eris, The Book of Inconveniences, The Honest Book of Truth ( portions of which are used in Principia Discordia ), Jonesboria Discordia, Metaclysmia Discordia, Novus Ordo Discordia, Principia Harmonia, Aeturnus Ille Discordia, The Wise Book of Baloney, The Book of Life, The Book of Chaos and Its Virtue, Chao Te Ching, Summa Discordia, Voices of Chaos, The Book of Chaos, Apocrypha Discordia, Principia Entropius, etc.

Today SJG publishes games of numerous varieties ( card games, board games, strategy games ) and genres ( fantasy, sci-fi, gothic horror ); they also publish the book Principia Discordia, the sacred text of the Discordian religion.

Extracts from its sacred text, the Principia Discordia by Malaclypse the Younger, are extensively quoted throughout the trilogy.

The solar tidal acceleration at the Earth's surface was first given by Newton in the ' Principia '< ref >, Book 3, Proposition 36, Page 307 Newton put the force to depress the sea at places 90 degrees distant from the Sun at " 1 to 38604600 " ( in terms of g ), and wrote that the force to raise the sea along the Sun-Earth axis is " twice as great ", i. e. 2 to 38604600, which comes to about 0. 52 × 10 < sup >- 7 </ sup > g as expressed in the text .</ ref >

The word was coined as a nonsensical term with religious undertones in the Discordian religious text Principia Discordia ( 1965 ) by Kerry Thornley and Greg Hill, but was popularized by The Illuminatus!

The text of the first of the three books of the Principia was presented to the Royal Society at the close of April, 1686.

He and Hill authored the religion's seminal text Principia Discordia, Or, How I Found Goddess, And What I Did To Her When I Found Her.

Ronin republished Principia Discordia, with altered text, so as to allow them to copyright the work.

* Principia Discordia, a holy text in Discordianism

Contemporary notation for logic owes more to this text than it does to the notation of Principia Mathematica, long popular in the English speaking world.

The phrase is cited in the Discordian text Principia Discordia, and appears fifteen times in Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea's The Illuminatus!

A quote from the Principia Discordia, the first holy book of Discordianism, attempts to clear this up:

Some knot-theoretic links contain multiple Borromean rings configurations ; one five-loop link of this type is used as a symbol in Discordianism, based on a depiction in the Principia Discordia.

* The Gunnerus Library at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim holds a first edition copy of the Principia.

The university also holds Sir Isaac Newton's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, first published 5 July 1687 and Oscar Wilde's manuscript of The Duchess of Padua from 1883.

Trilogy ( therein called the " 23 / 17 phenomenon "), Wilson's Cosmic Trigger I: The Final Secret of the Illuminati ( therein called " The Law of fives " and " The 23 Enigma "), Arthur Koestler's Challenge of Chance, as well as the Principia Discordia.

Hooke remained bitter about Newton claiming the invention of this principle, even though Newton ’ s “ Principia ” acknowledged that Hooke, along with Wren and Halley, had separately appreciated the inverse square law in the solar system, as well as giving some credit to Bullialdus.

This approach was continued by Russell and Whitehead in their influential Principia Mathematica, first published 1910-1913, and with a revised second edition in 1927.

Moore dealt with casuistry in chapter 1. 4 of his Principia Ethica ; he claimed that " the defects of casuistry are not defects of principle ; no objection can be taken to its aim and object.

Baruch Spinoza in " Principia philosophiae cartesianae " at its Prolegomenon identified " cogito ergo sum " the " ego sum cogitans " ( I am a thinking being ) as the thinking substance with his ontological interpretation.

The Principia is one of the main inspirations of the movement against ethical naturalism ( see ethical non-naturalism ) and is partly responsible for the twentieth-century concern with meta-ethics.

Most versions of Principia Discordia actually spell it as καλλιχτι, but this is definitely incorrect ; in the afterword of the 1979 Loompanics edition of Principia, Gregory Hill says that was because on the IBM typewriter he used, not all Greek letters coincided with Latin ones, and he didn't know enough of the letters to spot the mistake.

Classical mechanics originated with Isaac Newton's laws of motion in Principia Mathematica, while quantum mechanics didn't appear until 1900.

* The calculating methods in Principia can only be used in practice with very small numbers.

:" It is to be regretted that this first comprehensive and thorough-going presentation of a mathematical logic and the derivation of mathematics from it so greatly lacking in formal precision in the foundations ( contained in * 1 -* 21 of Principia ) that it represents in this respect a considerable step backwards as compared with Frege.

Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell attempted to complete, or at least greatly facilitate, this program with their seminal book Principia Mathematica, which purported to build a logically consistent set theory on which to found mathematics.

Educated as a mathematician, he became, through his coauthorship and 1913 publication of Principia Mathematica with Bertrand Russell, a major logician.

Newton's work in his Principia dealt with this in a further example of unification, in this case unifying Galileo's work on terrestrial gravity, Kepler's laws of planetary motion and the phenomenon of tides by explaining them with one single law: the law of universal gravitation.

Newton's own copy of his July 5th 1687 edition of Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ( or his Principia ), with hand-written corrections for the second edition.

In 1687, Isaac Newton in Principia Mathematica showed that this was because the Earth was not a true sphere but slightly oblate ( flattened at the poles ) from the effect of centrifugal force due to its rotation, causing gravity to increase with latitude.

He co-authored the epochal Principia Mathematica with Russell and later the metaphysical treatise Process and Reality.

Elected a fellow of Trinity in 1884, Whitehead would teach and write mathematics at the college until 1910, spending the 1890s writing his Treatise on Universal Algebra ( 1898 ), and the 1900s collaborating with his former pupil, Russell, on the first edition of Principia Mathematica.

This was followed by a memoir on the theory of the tides, to which, conjointly with the memoirs by Euler and Colin Maclaurin, a prize was awarded by the French Academy: these three memoirs contain all that was done on this subject between the publication of Isaac Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica and the investigations of Pierre-Simon Laplace.

The ' Principia ' deals primarily with massive bodies in motion, initially under a variety of conditions and hypothetical laws of force in both non-resisting and resisting media, thus offering criteria to decide, by observations, which laws of force are operating in phenomena that may be observed.

It was perhaps the force of the ' Principia ', which revealed so many different things about the natural world with such economy, that caused this method to become synonymous with physics, even as it is practiced almost three and a half centuries after its beginning.

The ' Principia ' begins with ' Definitions ' and ' Axioms or Laws of Motion ' and continues in three books:

They were first compiled by Sir Isaac Newton in his work Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, first published on July 5, 1687.

* July 5 – Isaac Newton publishes Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, ushering in a tidal wave of changes in thought that would significantly accelerate the already ongoing scientific revolution by giving it tools that produced technologically valuable results, which had theretofore been otherwise unobtainable.

Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, Latin for " Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy ", often referred to as simply the Principia, is a work in three books by Sir Isaac Newton, first published 5 July 1687.

Among Dupin's works, which are numerous, may be mentioned Principia Juris Civilis, 5 vols.

The Principia Discordia states that " All things happen in fives, or are divisible by or are multiples of five, or are somehow directly or indirectly appropriate to 5 "— this is referred to as the Law of Fives.

The following letter from Halley, dated London, July 5, 1687, announcing the completion of the Principia, is of particular interest:

( 1 ) Principia ; ( 2 ) Via Praetoria ; ( 3 ) Via Principalis ; ( 4 ) Porta Principalis Dextra ; ( 5 ) Porta Praetoria ( main gate ); ( 6 ) Porta Principalis Sinistra ; ( 7 ) Porta Decumana ( back gate ).

( This reappears in Definition 5 of the Principia.

( This material becomes Proposition 10, Problem 5 in the Principia.
