Platonic solid

The Five Platonic Solids The five platonic solids are the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and the icosahedron. They are named for the Greek philosopher Plato. Plato wrote about them in The Timaeus (c.360 B.C.) in which he paired each of the four classical elements, earth, air, water, and fire with a regular solid. Earth was paired with the cube, air with the octahedron, water with the icosahedron, and fire with the tetrahedron. The fifth Platonic solid, the dodecahedron, Plato says

discovered that planetary motion is elliptical. Early in his life, Kepler wanted to prove that the universe obeyed Platonistic mathematical relationships, such as the planetary orbits were circular and at distances from the sun proportional to the Platonic solids (see paragraph below). However, when his friend the astronomer Tycho Brahe died, he gave Kepler his immense collection of astronomical observations. After years of studying these observations, Kepler realized that his previous thought about planetary

The Wars: Four Elements It was the ancient Greek philosopher, Empedocles, who first established the four elements: earth, water, air and fire. He also stated that everything in the world is structured by and rooted in these four elements. However during times of conflict and violence, humans begin to disturb this harmony. When this happens, the elements stop representing life and start representing a form of destruction. Throughout Robert Ross’s journey in The Wars, Timothy Findley exemplifies

Akasha – Spirit Akasha is the fifth creative element and denotes pure spirit. In ancient writings, Akasha is said to operate through sound or vibration and is identified with the element of Air and in a spiritual sense with the “breath of god” as seen in ancient Hebraic texts. Akasha is considered to be an indispensable element of every magickal act. It can be related to an “occult electricity” as energy rises with our emotions and desires becoming the basis for fertility of the mind, body and

In Wicca, Akasha is the name given to the 5th Element also known as Spirit, not the “human” Spirit, but in this context, Spirit as the source of all energy, the universal forces, all that is. The word Akasha itself is a Sanskrit word for “Aether” meaning clear sky or pure air. This must not be confused by the chemical substance “ether”. Is interesting to know that in Alchemy, Aether - unlike other elements - didn’t have a definite symbol and it was normally and “unofficially” represented by a circle

aether (void) was added by Aristotle. Before the fifth element the first four elements which were earth, wind, water, and fire, represented to the ancient Greeks as well as modern science the four states of matter. In these 4 states of matter we have solid representing the earth element, liquid representing the water element, gas representing the air element, and plasma representing the fire element. The ancient 5 elements are active is every bodies daily routine schedule. It’s something we see every

The Watchtowers The Watchtowers represents the four cardinal directions: North, South , East and West. In many traditions they are also associated with each of the four classical elements: Air, Fire and Water and Earth. These are the Elements of nature and are forces honored by Pagans and Witches. The Watchtowers are often referred to as Corners, Quarters, Elements, Elementals and so on. These related titles represents different forms of energy and holds different meanings.They are seen differently

Mid August The four elements Fire, Air, Water, and Earth are what makes up Hilia (ha-lay-a), without these elements Hilia as we know it would be no more. To protect the elements, the elements would give special powers every 200 years to five children. Those five children that the elements chose, would be taken away from their family at a young age and would be taught everything about the world and more things no one could even imagine. Once the five children learned all that they could, the elements

The meaning of double of effect can be quite controversial. The principle of double effect teaches that one might perform a good action even if foreseen that a bad effect might occur (Becker, n.d). However, this is based on four principles which involves that the action has to be good itself, that the bad result was not directly intended, that the good result is not a direct casual result from the bad result, and that the good result is proportionate to the bad result (Becker, n.d). In this case

The 4 Elements Once upon a time there were 4 giants 1 fire 1 earth 1 water and air. They all covered the great plains of the united states. Though back then there we only mountains there. Fire was north earth east water south and air to the west. Those 4 giants were all kings of the great plain the human however each praised one of them and if you did not praise any you will vanish into the center of the earth. They all lived in peace and harmony. The mean and jealous one Fire Wanted the
