Interestingly enough, you can actually generate all the Platonic Solids and Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra simply by generating various 3 dimensional standing wave patterns in liquids. The number of vortexes of these shapes also just happen to coincide with the number of electrons that can fit in the various electron shells of particles, a key property of the elements of our periodic table.
Your wave theory sounds very much like String Theory.
