[Origami] Origami sighting: Five-intersecting tetrahedra

2024-03-07 Thread A V Fernandez via Origami
Adam Savage (of MythBusters fame) and Matt Parker (Standup Mathematician/ 
numberphile) collaborated in their attempt to show how to build a polyhedra 
model, based on an origami model (Tom Hull’s five intersecting tetrahedra) that 
someone named Polly apparently folded for Matt. They discuss the maths, 
symmetry, logic, and ultimate frustrations of building the model in one day. 
The long YouTube video is well worth one’s time to watch, IMHO. But then again, 
I enjoyed vicariously geeking out with them as they plan, with excitement, to 
build their colorful non-paper model.

2024-03-07 Thread George Ho via Origami
Dear folders,
Another Origami Peace Crane story...
On  27 May 2016, the previous President of the USA , Barack Obama visited 
Hiroshima...
At the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, he handed to two local children with 
folded paper cranes that he folded by himself ... He signed the guest book 
.. and placed two more paper cranes beside it.
In the guest book he wrote :-.. "We have known the agony of war... Let 
us now find the courage, together, to spread peace and pursue a world without 
nuclear weapons."    ..

May peace be always with you and family ..
