Has anyone here ever heard of Synergetics?
No, I don't mean synergy. I mean the idea that all matter is comprised of Tetrahedrons (four sided pyramids).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syner
This theory was postulated by Buckminster Fuller, the inventor of the Geodesic Dome, one of the strongest possible 3D structures still used by military today, as well as the concept of Tensegrity.
Tetrahedrons were chosen because of the idea at the time (and still today) that the smallest unit of matter is a sphere. However, if this were true, then the smallest possible alignment of four spheres of equal size would have to be the tetrahedron, making the entire universe fundamentally comprised of a matrix of tetrahedrons, even if the underlying geometry must be spherical.
Personally, I can't stop returning to this theory. It perfectly explains wave-particle duality.
Think of it, if you have two tetrahedrons spinning out of phase with one another, they will always collide at one of their faces or vertices. But if you have two tetrahedrons spinning in perfect phase with one another, then they can technically pass right "through" one another by sharing one face for the duration of one spin.
Think of it like me throwing a knife so that it spins while it flies. If you throw a knife at me with the exact same spin, then they will spin past each other and both hit their targets, even if thrown right at each other.

Bumping for discussion. Come on /sci/, I thought you were into quantum physics

Here are a few videos to explore the topic further:

This one is 8 minutes of an old guy playing with some modular blocks he made to demonstrate Fuller's theories.

lol...youre faith is weak while your expectations are still high.

Thanks for the link. It certainly is hard to digest, but I think any attempt at a "theory of everything" pretty much has to be.
I really like this figure from the book.
>Instability of Six Vectors Except as Tetrahedron: The alternate consequences of six vectored configurations. Only the tetrahedron is fully stable. It is synergetic.
