"The Earth is but one country, and mankind it's citizens." --Baha'u'llah
As stated in my last post: The tetrahedron is the basic structural system of everything that exists in the physical and metaphysical universe. Everything that exists has a shape or a pattern, which is tetrahedral in nature. However, not everything has weight such as thought but it does have shape. If thought did not have a shape or a pattern, then our minds would not have the capacity to conceptualize systems.
The tetrahedron models the whole atom perfectly. The triangle (one half tetrahedron) models what atomic physicists call one-half spin. In science the triangle also models the three basic relationships between all things. These relationships are: action, reaction, and resultant, which are represented by the three edges or sides of the triangle. The four vertexes of the tetrahedron represent four events and the six edges (sides) represent the six relationships between the four events.
So our model will look like this: Left triangle - action = proton, reaction = electron, resultant = anti-neutrino -- Right triangle - action = neutron, reaction = positron, resultant = neutrino. Also, when we use the tetrahedron as a model of the atom, then we will clearly see the characteristics of chemical bonding. "The single-bonded (vertex to vertex) tetrahedron system is like an engineering pin joint: it can move in any direction. It characterizes the behavior of gasses. The double-bonded (edge to edge) tetrahedron system is like an engineering hinge joint: It can rotate about an axis. It characterizes the behavior of liquids. The triple bonded (face to face) tetrahedron system is like an engineering fixed joint. It demonstrates the behavior of crystalline substances. The quadri-bond and mid-edge coordinate tetrahedron systems demonstrate the super strength of substances such as diamond and the metals." --R. Buckminster Fuller - "Synergetics "
In my next post we will discuss the tetrahedral system of thought, and the tetrahedral system of the human being. Please have a look at my SCIENCE IN SOCIETY GUIDE. Thank for your time and have a wonderful day! --Larry
