The shapes are messages from the gods telling us what to build. It may not be that far fetched a thesis http://aeytimes.com/ideas/113/Shapes_and_Patterns_that_Drive_the_World/ http://aeytimes.com/ideas/113/Shapes_and_Patterns_that_Drive_the_World/ A building block,proportioned 1:4:9 (the square of the first intergers 1 2 3) gives you a brick that stacks in 3 dimensions,It also makes a good mathematical,cosmological model. http://aeytimes.com/ideas/113/Shapes_and_Patterns_that_Drive_the_World/ http://aeytimes.com/ideas/113/Shapes_and_Patterns_that_Drive_the_World/ The electron valences around a nucleus can contain set numbers of electrons.The first is 2,the next is 8,the 3rd is 18. 'Super- symmetrically' this yields 1:4:9 http://aeytimes.com/ideas/113/Shapes_and_Patterns_that_Drive_the_World/ http://aeytimes.com/ideas/113/Shapes_and_Patterns_that_Drive_the_World/ Galileo rolled balls down an inclined plane,and observed the acceleration due to gravity to be geometric over time,the first interval one,then four,..nine...sixteen...all perfect squares. http://aeytimes.com/ideas/113/Shapes_and_Patterns_that_Drive_the_World/ http://aeytimes.com/ideas/113/Shapes_and_Patterns_that_Drive_the_World/ I was more thinking of understanding these shapes to help people better understand: (a) how to invent new inventions, and (b) how nature assembles its basic building blocks and molecules. By understanding these aspects, it will help people be more skillful in constructing new constructions, and help people understand limits to the natural world. As you are saying, understanding these may therefore also be extended into affecting our lifestyle choices. http://aeytimes.com/ideas/113/Shapes_and_Patterns_that_Drive_the_World/ http://aeytimes.com/ideas/113/Shapes_and_Patterns_that_Drive_the_World/ Do these shapes also represent the universal principles on which we must live our lives? Or are we having tough time living these principles because we neither are aware that they are rooted in these shapes nor understand their importance to our living and lifestyle choices? http://aeytimes.com/ideas/113/Shapes_and_Patterns_that_Drive_the_World/ http://aeytimes.com/ideas/113/Shapes_and_Patterns_that_Drive_the_World/
