I love when that happens. That's how real discoveries are made, you have a scientific mind. One time I was just thinking about a rope, and how you are seemingly never able to pull it perfectly taught. I wondered how much force would be required to pull a rope completely taught. The answer, as it turns out, is *infinite* force. As the sag in the rope gets smaller, the force required to make it taughter becomes exponentially higher, until it literally becomes infinite. It is impossible to pull a rope completely taught.

would 64 bubbles make a star tetrahedron?

@TomNoddy 7 жыл бұрын

no. Soap films always join three walls along an edge and four edges meet at each vertex. Looking at a picture of a star tetrahedron I see that they have both three-way and four-way junctions of the edges and that's a problem. Oddly, it is the four-way junctions that are the problem. When I do the Bubble Cube or tetrahedron or dodecahedron I am able to accomplish them even though they have three-way corners ... because ... the fourth edge is one that meets that corner from OUTSIDE cluster and is not a part of the named figure itself. For that reason, I cannot make an Octahedron or Icosahedron with bubbles alone ... and ... I cannot make a star tetrahedron for the same reason.

@ixxxxxxx 2 жыл бұрын

nobody said the bubble is deciding what shape it wants to be? but there is a mark of intelligence behind the consistent workings of number, to deny that is being a reductionist
