Wow, who would have guessed that the ancient Greeks would have gotten the shape of the universe correct so long ago. Obviously they were talking something slightly different, aether, but the fact that Plato and Aristotle postulated the shape of it to be the dodecahedron is very interesting indeed. Did the scientist who did this study belong to the Pythagorean cult?
Cool, I just clicked on that link at the bottom of the page and was reading about that. Amazing!
