Technology Tree Control is an age-old strategy which has heavily influenced the evolution of humanity. Through meticulous monitoring and forecasting of pivotal developments in science and engineering, and by securing influence over crucial players and insights, technological progress can effectively be guided and suppressed. This approach is instrumental for the covert development of highly advanced parallel tech trees, shaping the future discreetly yet decisively.

Planck’s Constant found encoded in the Great Pyramid of Giza
Upon computing the total energy required to raise all the stones to their respective heights in the Great Pyramid, and dividing by the number of stone steps in the construction, we obtain the energy of a photon that has the wavelength of the Planck Length. This observation enables us to calculate an estimate of Planck's Constant, h, from the measurements of the Great Pyramid of Giza, and provides a rationale for the architect's particular choice of the number of stone step layers found in the monument.
