Figure 62. Star polyhedra: the Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra.<br />

Now people have the ability to expand their knowledge both in the field of macro- and<br />

microcosm, explore nature at the level of the structure of molecules, atoms and more<br />

subtle <strong>org</strong>anization of microcosm. Surprisingly, everything is physics, all is wave<br />

establishing a specific form of existence! Take crystals of ice or rock crystal (quartz).<br />

They often resemble a sharpened pencil, i. e. the form of a hexagonal prism with the<br />

apex in the form of a hexagonal pyramid.<br />

Everything in the material world has a certain spatial position. Once I became interested<br />

in the information about experiments on the effect of sound waves on small particles, in<br />

particular, on dry sand placed upon the surface of a vibrating plate. Amazingly, the sand<br />

starts to line up in different geometrically regular-shaped patterns under the vibration.<br />

And their form directly depends on the sound frequency! I will clarify for those readers<br />

who do not know that such patterns are called Chladni figures named after their<br />

discoverer a German scientists working in the field of experimental acoustics at the end<br />

of the 18th - early 19th centuries. Today, the results of his research are used to study the<br />

natural frequencies of phone diaphragms, loudspeakers and microphones.<br />
