A perfect weekend project is this beautiful model kit: the Hyperdo from Zometools. Adam received one based on the recommendation of his good friend Kevin Kelly, and spends the day putting this complex geometric object together. It's a hyperdodecahedron--or more specifically the 3D projection of the 4D object known as the 120-cell. It's not a simple assembly, but the finished model is so very rewarding!

That hidden geometry comment towards the end: in northern sweden there are massive areas of farmed trees, they're planted in exact grids, at a distance from the wrong angle it looks like any forest, but at the right angles (90, 45 etc) you can see straight through massively far, and then it vanishes, mesmerizing to watch on the train to/from Umeå.

There are large chunks of plantation forest in Australia as well, though if you looked at them you'd instantly suspect that they were planted, if only because pines and Australia are not a common association. But, the visual effect can be stunning at the right season.

@@KarltheKrazyone In Newcastle Australia just down from a pub in the CBD There was a narrow rubbished strewn ally, and if you glanced up it in the wee small hours as you where staggering away from the pub, you would see at the end of it a misty magical moonlit forest. When you when back in the hard light of day, only thing at the end of the ally was a normal street. After this had happened a few times and you had to give it some less Guinness powered though, to work out what the hell was going on. it turned out just to be the sea mist combining with the street lights to blur everything else and emphasize the half dozen trees in a nice misty glow.

You can build projections of all 6 regular polychorons with Zometool! Note that you'll need to get some of the green spars for the 5,16,and 24 cell ones. You have to be *extremely* careful with the 600-cell, though, since it's so compact and rigid that it's hard to get the pieces in, and hard to take apart without breaking off some of the nubs on the spars inside the balls.

Took me a couple of weeks in the evenings, but it was very rewarding in the end. I can confirm that once you start studying these objects, you notice relationships and properties that you never before realized existed.

There's a 6th regular polychoron (4-polytope), though, which doesn't have a 3D analogue. The list is as follows 5-cell or simplex (analogue to tetrahedron, each edge is shared by three tetrahedrons) 8-cell or hypercube (analogue to cube, each edge shares 3 cubes) 16-cell (analogue to octahedron, each edge shares 4 tetrahedrons) 24-cell (no 3D analog! Each edge shares 3 octahedrons) 120-cell (analogue to dodecahedron, each edge shares 3 dodecahedrons. This is the one in the video) 600-cell (analogue to icosohedron, each edge shares 5 tetrahedrons) Incidentally, Zometools are capable of modeling every single one of these, although the 5-cell, 16-cell and 24-cell require kits with the green struts. The 120-cell actually requires the most pieces. Figuring out how to make each one is actually surprisingly intuitive.

@@TheSilverShadow17 There are a few names. One is "icositetrachoron", where -choron is the 4D analog to -hedron, and icositetra is Greek I believe for 24. There's also "polyoctahedron".

This one also has nice similar names for all the other regular polytopes. 5-cell: Simplex 8-cell: Hexaplex (or so I would assume) 16-cell: Orthoplex 24-cell: Octoplex 120-cell: Dodecaplex 600-cell: Tetraplex

it's the "hypercube" for a dodecahedron. The cube has 6 sides and 12 lines meeting in 8 corners (or vertices), a dodecahedron has 12 sides and 30 edges meeting in 20 vertices... if you blow it up to make it from 3D to 4D (what a "hyper"-body does) it obviously will have a lot more of additional components compared to a cube/hypercube... Wikipedia says as a summary: There are 120 cells, 720 pentagonal faces, 1200 edges, and 600 vertices.

Elizabeth D. Zwicky introduced me to Zome Tool circa 1995/1996, when we were working together at SGI. Over the years, I’ve built a number of things like this (though never this exact configuration), and hung them up in various offices... fond memories, all around. It’s fun to see you sharing some of the same excitements she shared with me... tessellations, truncations, symmetries, etc. If you indeed go get some more, be sure to check out the (then-still-in-R&D-phase - Elizabeth told me they were meant to exist, but Zome hadn’t released them yet) green struts. :)

In the 70's I once spent an evening with Mr. and Mrs. R. Buckminster Fuller. In his 70's, the frail old man took the podium, fumbled with the mic, flattened his notes with his hand then SUDDENLY came a non stop firehose of information. It was like hearing the description of a golf game played in a tennis court by a guy jumping up and down! A night of anecdotes packed with formulas at 100 miles an hour. It was confusing, life affirming and inspiring. Now I'm a 74 year old guy, still digesting parts of that night. Thanks Bucky - and Adam for the memory flog.

it's a Bucky Ball!!! I recognized it on the front of the jar. When we were in high school our science teacher had us build approximately 1 foot Bucky balls in class with drinking straws. Our class found them so interesting and loved the engineering challenge of it that we asked if we could build a BIG Bucky Ball. She was happy to oblige. The 10 of us (small Midwest school) ended up building a 10 foot tall Bucky Ball in our gymnasium with pvc pipe & plumbing joints. It was a truly fun project and looked insane when finished.

While in college, we would build platonic and archimedian solids using pieces of plastic straw and contact cement. After cutting the straws to a certain length, we'd dip the ends of them into the contact cement, let them dry for 15 minutes and then quickly assemble the solids. That was 25 years ago and I still remember doing it. It was a lot of fun. That is, until we had to build tensegrities around them... That was a bit of a headache. But hey, that would be something cool for Adam to do too.

What you mean by projections is probably duality. It is described by mapping all faces of one polyhedron onto the vertices of another (and vice versa). For example, if you make a vertex at the center of each face of a cube and connect the vertices, you end up with an octahedron. It works the other way around for these two as well (duality). The dodecahedron and icosahedron are duals, but the tetrahedron is self-dual.

Ten some odd years ago, I was asked to help construct a large ZOME sphere for for NY Toy Fair. I was brought in because they couldn’t figure out how to build it without the structure collapsing in on itself. I pulled from my knowledge of art/architecture history and built it like a classical dome would’ve been built by connecting it at two points and were able to build a solid sphere that stood over 7’ tall that a grown man could walk into. Fun experience and great toy.

Oh my god, Zoob! I played with those once as a kid somewhere, and could never remember what they were called! They had a big bin of them in a waiting room for kids at some place and I thought they were the coolest!

During the brain candy live tour I had the opportunity to ask Adam and Michael what purchase had the biggest impact on them. Michael mentioned Zome Tool as his for the exact reason Adam says in this video for why it is so helpful for understanding solids. I think that’s pretty cool!

Oh man, it may have only made it out to layer 4 of 9, but watching that still adds a lot of intuition to the 4-d shape. Once I understand where the 30 equatorial docecahedra fit in, the rest is just mirror symmetry

The second step is 12 dodecahedrons wrapped around a central dodecahedron, which was step one. Since they dont tile evenly in 3d, they had to be deformed to make them fit. Steps three and and four connects the outermost surfaces to form an outer geodesic sphere.

This makes me want to get my old Zometools out from a box in my closet that I've had for the past 18 years or so. I need to get rid of some of the rods since they're slightly broken. Also just thinking about this makes me want to order some more.

The word Adam was looking for is all of the Platonic and all of the ("Archimedean") solids. The latter being one of the 13 solids first enumerated by Archimedes. They are the convex uniform polyhedra composed of regular polygons meeting in identical vertices, excluding the five Platonic solids and excluding the prisms and antiprisms.
