Kepler Believed the universe was ruled by the relationship between 5 perfect bodies. Are you ready to begin your cosmic domination? This set is arguably the Rosetta stone of Zometool. It demonstrates how the cubic worlds intersect with icosahedral symmetry. And it's all thanks to John Conway and his discovery of the most tightly packed nesting of the five platonic solids -- using the Zometool! While searching for a system behind the relationships of the distances between the planets and the sun, the German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) hoped to discover a "construction plan of the world".
Kepler spent his life searching for the music of the spheres, HOPING to prove that God determined the orbits of the planets by nesting the five "perfect" Platonic solids. But when he analyzed the data, he proved himself wrong. And being a good scientist, Johannes Kepler admitted it... and founded modern astrogeophysics!
