[email protected] asked about the original creator of the six waterbomb octahedron.
I have researched this and can confirm that as far as is known it was first discovered by Robert E Neale in about 1965. Kunihiko Kasahara discovered it for himself shortly thereafter but I understand that he has acknowledged Bob's primacy. I knew Joe had also discovered it ... in the early 1970's I think? ... but it's good to hear the full story. I have recently had email contact with an architect from the US who had also discovered it for himself in the early 1970's and has developed it into a larger theory of rigid but collapsible structures. Yet to be published, I believe. Dave
