Platonic solids

The Platonic Solids These five Platonic solids are ideal, primal models of crystal patterns that occur throughout the world of minerals in countless variations. These are the only five regular polyhedra, that is, the only five solids made from the same equilateral, equiangular polygons. They are geometrical forms which are said to act as a template from which all life springs. The aesthetic beauty and symmetry of the Platonic solids have made them a favorite subject of geometers for…

One example representation of the five Classical elements. In this example representation of the classical elements, the dodecahedron represents the Universe, Spirit, or Aether.

The 5 Platonic Solids 2,500 years ago, Pythagoras, who lived contemporary to Buddha, surmised that all atomic structure was based on 5 humble and unique shapes, in the way they nested, one within the other, like Russian Dolls. In fact, Buddha has been recorded, during one of his deep meditations, as describing the atom as

A regular polygon is a polygon that has all congruent angles and all congruent sides. For example, a square is a regular polygon because it has 4 congruent angles and 4 congruent sides, and an equilateral triangle is a regular polygon because it has 3 congruent angles and 3 congruent sides. A Platonic solid, or a regular convex polyhedron, is a three-dimensional convex solid that has identical regular polygons for each face. For example, a cube is a Platonic solid because it has 6 identical…
