      I love when that happens. That's how real discoveries are made, you have a scientific mind. One time I was just thinking about a rope, and how you are seemingly never able to pull it perfectly taught. I wondered how much force would be required to pull a rope completely taught. The answer, as it turns out, is *infinite* force. As the sag in the rope gets smaller, the force required to make it taughter becomes exponentially higher, until it literally becomes infinite. It is impossible to pull a rope completely taught.

    Fabulous. Dodecahedron as the centre of 13 bubbles. Flat faces, straight edges, perfect pentagons.What happens with 14 or 15 bubbles? or 100? Dodecahedrons don't stack. What shape do the internal bubbles take?

    They fly so high, nearly reach the sky

    would 64 bubbles make a star tetrahedron?

    • @TomNoddy
      @TomNoddy 7 років тому +8

      no.
      Soap films always join three walls along an edge and four edges meet at each vertex. Looking at a picture of a star tetrahedron I see that they have both three-way and four-way junctions of the edges and that's a problem. Oddly, it is the four-way junctions that are the problem. When I do the Bubble Cube or tetrahedron or dodecahedron I am able to accomplish them even though they have three-way corners ... because ... the fourth edge is one that meets that corner from OUTSIDE cluster and is not a part of the named figure itself.
      For that reason, I cannot make an Octahedron or Icosahedron with bubbles alone ... and ... I cannot make a star tetrahedron for the same reason.
