I have come across something a little odd while I was researching. It seems that a relationship has been made between the earth and a cube, wind and the octohedron, Fire and a tetrahedron, water and icosahedron and finally, ether and a dodecahedron. Each of these shapes comprise the 5 Platonic solids and has led me to Plato's Theory of Everything. I am just learning about this, but these shapes seem to have formed sub-atomic particles in Plato's Timaeus. He seems to have formed the idea that all matter is composed of all 4 elements at a sub-atomic level. I am still learning about this but he seemed to think that at a sub-atomic level, particles could split up and recombine. Does anyone know anything about this?
