together, until one should try to get them too close, at which
point they repel again. So, the holding together of the protons
in the nucleus is accounted for.
Since we disdain such arbitrary notions of "forces," and
prefer to view the cause of such phenomena as resulting from
a certain characteristic of physical space-time, a different
view is demanded. Considerations of "least action" suggest
ed to Dr. Moon a symmetric arrangement of the charges on a
sphere, while the number of such charges and the existence
of orbitals beyond the nucleus suggested a nested arrange
ment of such spheres, containing intrinsically the Golden
Section ratios (see box).
The model
We are led immediately to the Platonic solids. The sur
faces of the Platonic solids and related regular solids repre
sent unique divisions of the surface of a sphere according to
a least-action principle. All of the Platonic solids can be
formed by the intersections of great circles on a sphere, the
great circle being the least-action path on the surface of the
sphere, and the sphere the minimal three-dimensional vol
ume created by elementary rotational action.
The best way to see this is to consider the intersections of
the great circles in a Torrianian, or Copemico-Pythagorean
planetarium (cf. Johannes Kepler, Mysterium Cosmographi
cum, Dedicatory Letter, Abaris Press). In the device con
structed by Giovanni Torriani to demonstrate Kepler's nest
ed-solids model for the solar system, the vertices of the reg
ular solids are formed by the intersections of great circles.
Three great circles intersect to form an octahedron. Six great
circles intersect triply in eight places to form the vertices of
a cube and doubly in six places over the faces of the cube.
Fifteen great circles intersect five-at-a-time in 12 locations,
three-at-a-time in 20 locations, and two-at-a-time in 30 10EIR
